When I click on new fragment I get this configure component box that has no checkboxes
But what I want is this, with checkboxes
I assume this is a problem with my studio config, but I cannot figure it out. Unless there is something else about fragments I am unaware of?

I'm trying to follow Google's Android tutorial to create my first application, but either I'm looking in the wrong place or the tutorial is wrong/out of date for the latest version of Android Studio.
On the page I linked above, to add an onClick handler in the Design view of Studio, it contains the following instruction:
However, in the Attributes window, there is no onClick item. I could only add the onClick handler by editing the xml in text mode. Here's what my screen looks like when I have the button selected:
However, after I add the onclick event to the xml file, it does appear in the Attributes window.
Is the tutorial wrong, or am I doing something wrong?
I don't know what version android you used, but in Android Studio Chipmunk, you can see onclick property at Common Atttributes
If you don't see Common Attributes, please check icon setting below Design button
I am attempting to add and animation within an if statement, in Android Studio, when a user clicks a button however I am having no luck coming up with a solution. Any guidance in the direction I should be heading?
newbie in Android studio. Using Android Studio 3.5.3 to create app and the Build is Successful
I have the default MainActivity and activity_main.xml
Problem:
when I clicked on the activity_main.xml
- The Design view empty. Thus I can not drag UI like Plain text or others onto the Design activity Layout
Made changes in Style.xml
added the Base in below:
1) style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"
but this does not work.
Need your help to solve this problem.
Thanks
#MikeBottle, There might be a couple of things going on here. It could be because your activity doesn't have theme assigned.
Please check this:
Note: In the design view, when you click the eye icon, it will give you the options to show / hide the layout decorations. It includes the top and bottom status bars. Please check if that changes anything.
Also, make sure the activity has theme assigned.
For the reference, I also included the layout preview to demonstrate how it look when show layout decorations is not checked.
I'm new to Android Studio (working on Windows) and I am now using Buttons for the first time. I'm using them inside a TabHost. It seems that I can't move/drag the buttons to anywhere I want in the design, they just stay at the top of the design. I've searched this on Google and someone suggested a RelativeLayout instead of a LinearLayout. I've switched layouts already and I still can't move the Buttons as I want.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
How can I switch between the tabs of a TabHost in the UI Designer for inserting content? Is there a keyboard shortcut or something else
I found a way to visualise any tab using TabHost in the UI Designer. Is probably not the best way, but it works.
1. Go to the Component Tree, where you have all the elements of the UI.
2. Inside the FrameLayout that TabHost automatically creates for you, there are the tabs.
3. If you change the order of the tabs just drag and dropping in the Component Tree, you get to see the one that is placed in the first position.
UPDATE:
According to this answer there is no way to change the tabs of a TabHost. That question refers to IntelliJ; I don't know if it applies to Android Studio.
Also, it seems that TabHost has been replaced by FragmentActivity and ActionBar. See Android how can i replace the deprecated tabhost? for a discussion.
It is defined as "Select next Tab in multi-editor file" in Settings -> Keymap.
On Windows it seems to default to CRTL+SHIFT+RIGHT/LEFT or ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT/LEFT. On my Mac it defaults to CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT/LEFT.
Note that Studio doesn't allow the default Keymap to be edited so you will first need to copy the default and give it a new name.
Also see Shortcut to switch between design and text in android studio.
By mouse, select the FrameLayout then long left click on any space in it.
