Everything I add to my design view goes to the top right corner and is so small that it is not visible and causing error also I have installed all the sdk's but still it is so frustrating that it is failing to compile gradle

I am just starting to learn KMM (I'm an Android java guy right now) and going through the default Greeting version of Hello World that is automatically put into a new application. My environment seems to be working as I was able to run the default app on both Android and iOS emulators.
However I can't see the file Greeting.kt in the Project tree. I can certainly search for it and open it from Find, but when I drill down the tree shared/commonMain/kotlin/com.myapp... it only shows Platform.
I have a screen cap that shows the path of the open Greeting.kt at the top, but not visible in the tree:
(screen cap)
Unfortunately I can't post an image (not enough reputation), but when I open the file Greeting.kt by doing a Find In Project, it shows the path at the top of the screen (My Application > shared > src > commonMain > kotlin > com > example > myapplication > Greeting), but when I manually drill down the Project tree on the left side of Android Studio Greeting.kt does not show up.
I can also find the file in the Mac Finder. My guess a preference in Android Studio is incorrect?
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance
Turns out it was an official bug. Solution is to upgrade to Beta version of Android Studio (Chipmunk)
I submitted a bug report to Google and they looked into it:
The root cause is that before [Android Studio]Chipmunk the source set
setup was incorrect, so even though it says commonMain in your
screenshot (from #2), if you open the Platform.kt under that source
set, you'll see that it is in fact
shared/src/androidMain/kotlin/com/example/myapplication/Platform.kt.
[Android Studio] Chipmunk fixes this issue.
I'm using Android Studio, and I'm trying to add the slf4j library using
Build/Edit Libraries and Dependencies.
I clicked on the +, selected Library Dependency, and picked slf4j from the list. Studio added the library to my build.gradle file like this:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1'
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-android:1.7.7'
...
But when I try to run sync, I get this error:
Error:(75, 10) Failed to resolve: org.slf4j:slf4j-android:1.7.7
Is there something else I need to do to my project to be able to use this library??
Turns out what was causing this issue for me (and likely for you, given the build file above) was the Scala plugin. There was a bug with the Scala plugin preventing Android Studio from importing Gradle projects. The fix for this has already been pushed live, so to get Android Studio working again you can either disable the Scala plugin or update it.
Open Settings/Preferences
Open the Plugins section on the left
Find the Scala plugin
Right click on the plugin and click Reload List of Plugins
Right click on the plugin again and click Update Plugin
This allowed me to do a Gradle sync and build from Android Studio again, I hope it helps for you!
It looks like this is a bug with Android Studio. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
In the meantime, you can debug your application without launching it from Android Studio by attaching the debugger to a running process of the application. You can do this two ways.
Via the menus: Run -> Attach Debugger to Android Process
Pressing the button that is two to the right of the play/build button. It looks like a grey phone/rectangle with a little green bug in the bottom right
After you do this, a dialog will show up listing available applications to debug. Select your application and press OK. Your breakpoints should now work.
If you need to debug something that happens on app startup, you can tell Android to wait for a debugger when launching certain applications with the following steps:
On the phone open the Android Settings
Open the Developer Options
Make sure Wait for debugger is checked
Press Select debug app and choose your application
Then when you start your application, it'll wait for you to attach a debugger via one of the two methods mentioned above.
Hope this helps!
In order to get the maven repository working with my Android Studio project (which I didn't know is what I was trying to do), I needed to add the following to build.gradle:
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
Apparently, that allows the software to work out the compile commands.
Usually when I open my Android Studios and I click on new project it then comes up with another page that asks you to enter Application name: etc...Something has changed somewhere for some reason because that doesn't come up. If I click on a recent project it opens up but at the top left hand corner where you can change the view to project, package, Android etc. Android is no longer in there and the drop down options are now Project, Packages, Scratch, Problems etc. How can I get back the normal view? Or can someone tell me what could have caused this issue?
Thanks!
Just restore Studio default layout by Shift+F12
I have several modules in Android Studio project, and I would like to change inspections settings for one of these modules. More precise, I want to turn off all Android-related inspections in one module, but leave all general Java inspections in place.
I need this because I have a not Android-specific Java library module, and that module uses java.util.Properties, and it's load method was implemented in Android API level 9. Since that library is not Andoid stuff, I have not specified Android API level at all, and Studio warns me about that.
It offers adding Android annotation to ignore that inspection, but adding Android dependency to turn off Android warning seems bad.
I can edit the settings to shitch that warning off, but I don't want to turn API level warnings in the whole project.
As I found, in settings you can specify inspection setting either globally or for whole project, not for specific module.
Is there a way to change inspections settings for one module, or do some hack around?
I am using Android Studio 1.3.2.
The Studio should automatically understand that the Java module has nothing with Android, and stopped Android inspections (but they were not disabled, though): I went fix something in the code, rebuilt it several times, and when I returned to warning line, it was clean.
So, I don't actually know what's going on,
but I got some recomendations, that should help:
Sync your Gradle project, it will try to rebuild the project. Some dependencies and settings will only resolve after Gradle will do something internal.
If Gradle will fail, there might be errors in code that ruins interspections. Try to solve them.
If your project history is stored in VCS, try checkout the latest clear version and sync project again.
Check changes in .iml files manually. For some reason, Studio sometimes does weirds edits there, and if I rollback some of them, Studio works better.
Actually you can disable particular inspections being made by Android Studio. However this needs to be on all projects you have in Android Studio, and cannot be done in all modules you are currently developing.
To disable android inspections on your projects follow these steps:
Click on the File menu and Select Settings
Expand the Editor root node select Inspections
There you will have all the inspections which Android Studio checks when building a project (image below). You can expand the Android node and check what you wish to remove from your inspections.
Hope this helps :)
I have a problem with my Android Studio I just updated.
There is no device renders in the design tab, even if I create just a blank aka 'hello wolrd' activity as you can see on this screenshot.
I am absolutely sure I have no running background tasks, my Gradle build is finished. I tried to clean up and then to rebuild project, nothing changes. Am I missing anything?
P.S. I had no problems rendering device on Android Studio 1.3.
Ok, I got it.
I had to update my SDK to 23st version and choose this version while rendering device.
Very simple and truth be told obvious way.
