Android Studio Stuck on Loading Start Screen Screen - android-studio

This is more of a helpful tip/warning than a question. For someone else that might attempt what I did. Android Studio Dolphin (Not sure about other versions) on Mac and also Windows is stuck on Startup Screen after I installed 5 plugins for CSV support at the same time (Rainbow CSV, Cap-Hadoop, ExcelEditor, ExcelReader, and CSV).
Below is the image of the issue
enter image description here
If anyone has a solution that will be awesome.

I just encountered the same issue today, I was able to fix it by deleting those plugins from the app's data roaming folder, you can access them by typing %APPDATA% in the "Run" app (Windows Key + R) or directly in the folder explorer.
Once there, Google -> AndroidStudio2021.3 (or whatever version you are using) -> Plugins.
EDIT: Mac equivalent is User/Library/Application Support/Google/"version of Android Studio"/plugins
Library might be hidden in User folder so Shift+Command+. to show it
(thanks to TwistenTiger)
Hope it helps!

Unable to edit configuration files in Marlin

I have succesfully been using VS Code for a few months to edit configuration files in Marlin. However, I now find I cannot edit code at all, and I don't understand why. I have tried reinstalling VS Code, but no change.
As a work around, I have used Arduino IDE to edit the files, then because I have a 32 bit controller (SKR 1.4 Turbo), I used VS Code to build.
Can anyone tell me what might be preventing me from using VS Code as an editor?
This can be because you project located at path, where VScode don't have permissions to edit files (for example somewhere at C:\Program Files\Arduino).
To fix this you can move your marlin project to "neutral waters" like your Documents folder
or
(not suggested) launch VScode with admin rights (right click on vscode shortcut -> Run as administrator)

Location menu in extended controls of Android Studio virtual device

I need to import a .gpx file to my virtual device (something I'm attempting for the first time today), but I'm having a problem I can't find any reference to anywhere else. I'm either having a moment and missing something that should be obvious or there's an issue with the specific build I have that's causing an issue. I have Android Studio 3.5.3 installed and I've tried multiple different virtual devices.
All references to the menu page referenced in my title that I can find online look like this:
While my version of that page looks like this:
That "Import GPX/KML" button always appears to be greyed out. What am I missing here?
Eventually found the cause of this and a solution. The issue was caused by an Android emulator release that updated the Location settings to include a Google Maps based UI. Release notes here, though I've found the 29.2.11 release on 03/12 also contained the UI change: https://androidstudio.googleblog.com/2019/12/emulator-29212-stable-google-maps-ui.html. On my Windows 10 computers this also removed the option of importing a GPX file (not sure if this was an intentional choice by Google or a bug). Not sure if it will affect Linux or Mac users but I've observed the issue on multiple Windows 10 devices.
The fix I found for the issue was to downgrade my emulator to 29.2.1. That version can be found here:
http://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-darwin-5889189.zip
http://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-windows-5889189.zip
http://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-linux-5889189.zip
In Windows, next go to C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator. Those of a cautious disposition can backup this folder, but either way the package.xml file will be needed and everything else can be moved or deleted. Edit the details in the XML to match the version number of the downloaded emulator. Copy the downloaded files to this location along with the package.xml. Then just make sure not to download the update again when Android Studio is opened.

Vuzix sdk loading error cvc-elt.1.a cannot find the declaration of element 'sdk: sdk-addon'

I am trying to load the SDK for Vuzix through the SDK manager in Android Studio but for some reason it will not display the downloads in 'SDK platforms' and 'SDK tools'.
In the 'SDK update sites' tab next to the Vuzix link I added there is a red exclamation point that displays " cvc-elt.1.a cannot find the declaration of element 'sdk: sdk-addon' " when hovered over.
I am new to SDK's and have no idea what to do for this error. I've downloaded the android SDK's and sources for 26,25,24, and 23 thinking it could help but the error still shows up.
I still don't know what the error means but I solved it by connecting to my hotspot instead of my work network.
So my guess is it was a firewall issue or something, if anyone else has this error.
This means that the parser does not know the namespace. I tried it on Win7 and android studio 2.3.3 with the same result.
I tried it without the namespace or running android studio with oracle sdk. Both failed.
At the moment I try to run it on a virtual linux machine. Android Studio 2.3.3 will parse the addon xml file and download the files.
On Win7 I installed them manually, but they were not really integrated into to system and I stucked when I wanted to use the barcode SDK. maybe I am able some day to add simply this jar lib -
On a first look using linux seems to be the solution. But than I run into problems with the case sensitve file system. The vuzix SDK seems to need a linux system on a case insensitve file system.
*facepalm* and I am quite sure that i will fail at all. On linux a simple GUI compiles only against API 26 without errors.

Cannot launch Xamarin.iOS app on device

I am developing an iPad application with Xamarin.iOS and MVVMcross. So I have a PCL with my View-Model and my Model, and an iOS project with the view. I use Visual Studio.
Before, I used Xamarin.iOS 6.3.6 beta version, and when I tried to launch the app on the device, an .app file was created and getting it with my Ipad, I could launch the application (impossible to launch directly from Visual Studio).
Yesterday, I uploaded Xamarin.iOS to 6.4.1. On simulator, everything's okay. When I try to launch the application on device, now the app is directly installed but the build stop and the following error appear in the debug output :
Failed to load AOT module '<my PCL>' while running in aot-only mode: doesn't match assembly.
And if I click on my app icon on the device,a black screen appear and disappear immediately.
Does someone know why this error appear?
This looks like something was cached somewhere or not updated correctly.
Here are a few ideas to try:
Delete the app from the device.
Clean & Rebuild your app.
Build & install from Xamarin Studio on your Mac.
Copy the Debug configuration to a new configuration (DebugTest for instance), and run that configuration instead.
I regularly get the same issue here.
The workaround that I use is to switch the platform in the Visual Studio build Configuration Manager to "iPhoneSimulator", run a quick debug session on that, then switch the platform back to "iPhone", and the problem disappears for a while.
Unfortunately I have no intelligent reason as to why this works. It seems to be doing a better job of the "Clean and Rebuild".
After reading a similar bug, I found that clearing the mtbs folder on the OS X host which is located at $HOME/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/ fixes this problem for me.
I have to do it so frequently I just have a PuTTY session open on my Windows box to clear the folder. I do hope that Xamarin fixes this issue soon.
Make sure Linker Behaviour is set to Don't Link
Clean, rebuild, remove old version from app.
Worked for me at least.
This happened to me after I upgraded to XCode 5/iOS7. I noticed a warning that I hadn't installed XCode Command Line Tools. After I did that I rebuilt the application and it now runs.
I just had this problem and got it to work again by opening the Apple project properties and changing the provisioning profile identity from "Distribution" to "Developer".
My workaround on Mac is to
Close Solution in XS
Quit XS. Command-Q
Reopen it and reopen solution.
After that it usually works again.

Visual Studio 2012 failed to create project

I just upgraded to windows 8 from windows 7. Visual studio 2010 broke down completely. Oh well. I removed vs2012 and installed visual studio 2012, where the pain starts. I have been reinstalling vs 2012 a couple of times. However, the symptom remains the same.
When I try to create a new project (FILE -> New -> Project or ctrl + N).
It pops up with an error message dialogbox saying
"Failed to create a ImageSource from the text '..\Images\Medium.png'.
" I am like ##*%&^#*###(. So can anyone please tell me what is going on with my Visual Studio2012?
By the way, I can open and run the existing vs2010 projects with no problems.
I definitely neither want to do a fresh install on windows 8 nor rolling back to my windows 7.
Cheers,
To resolve that problem, I've change the permission of "modify" for "everybody" on the files
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\config\machine.config
and
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config
Don't know if it's the best way to do it, but at least it works.
Do you have any codec packs installed on your system? I had a WIC codec pack for viewing RAW files in Explorer, and it resulted in the same issue you are describing. Uninstalling the codecs fixed Visual Studio for me.
I was having various issues, including the above.
To resolve the problem on Windows 8 for VS 2012, setting it to run as administrator fixed the problem for me.
Launch icon properties->Advanced Properties->Run as administrator
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Sean
The trace of this issue leads to Windows Imaging Component (one solution proposed was to remove FastPictureViewer, which codec affects WIC, but it was not my case). I used procmon to log all file and registry calls and found that VS2012 stumbles at the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.png - REG_SZ Content Type
I was suprized to see that Content Type for .png was set application (for .jpg it was application as well). After correcting it to image/png, not only VS2012 started successfully, but VS2010 as well, that was showing "Provide value on System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension threw an exception" on Win8 and caused me to try VS2012.
I had the same problem with Visual Studio 13.
uninstalling/reinstalling VS13 and all shared packages did not solved the problem.
Finally I tried to run it as administrator, as explained above and it worked.
Just happened to me. As Eric Aubry said check the machine.config file. In my case it wasn't permission error but the fact that the file was destroyed internally. By renaming the machine.config.default everything was fixed.
For me, this happened when I installed mysql on my machine, and it added an extra connection string to my machine config. However, since I was using a separate file for configSource, it resulted my machine config to become corrupted.
Moving the new config key to my config source from the 32bit machine config solved the issue.
As I mentioned in that question ,
I tried almost every solution I found.
I would like to share, what I have tried and did not work and what did work and solved the problem.
Here are the "solutions" which did not work for me but claimed that they worked for some people.
1) Removing FastPictureViewer Codec Pack (which was already not installed)
2) Having a modify permission to everyone for
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\config\machine.config
and
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config
3) Using Procmon to see broken registries
4) Uninstalling/reinstalling VS13 and all shared packages
5) Renaming the machine.config.default to machine.config
6) Running Visual Studio as an administrator
And this what it solved it:
Simply installed all the updates for windows 8.1 (not only the important ones, also optional updates as well) and restart. It sounds crazy after spending hours and hours but that solved my problem.
Good luck!
