Widget options (Alt+Enter) are quite helpful in Flutter Development with Android Studio. It helps us to Move, Wrap, Add, Remove or Swap Widgets automatically, basically makes our life easy.
Issue : In my IDE the 'Remove widget' option is missing. Check the image below for reference. With my fresh installation of Android Studio in two different computers, the option was never there since the beginning. I'm sure I never played or messed related configurations.
I know its not a big deal, but I'd love to have remove option as I play a lot with Widgets around and removing sometimes a pain.
Is there anything in configuration that I need to enable?
Android Studio : v3.5
The name has been changed from Remove Widget to Replace widget with its children but does the same thing.
UPDATE: Flutter has turned it back to Remove Widget.
UPDATE: From Flutter 1.12.13+hotfix.5 • channel stable The option is now back to Remove Widget.
I am facing a weird issue with Mac version of Android Studio (i.e., I am not able to copy (⌘ + C) and paste (⌘ + V) any text). I have no idea why it is behaving strange like this. My question may be silly, but I have been facing this issue since I started working from Windows to Mac. Any solutions and alternatives would be much helpful for me. I am completely stuck with this issue for the past two days.
There are several reasons why you could be experiencing this
You are using ClipMenu and Android studio doesn't like it
Your keybinding is messed up.
To solve keybinding issue press File -> Settings and check what the keybindings are, you have maybe changed it or imported settings from somebody else. See the image as a reference.
Note: the filter of copy, you need to do this for paste too.
To fix the issue with ClipMenu.
Right click on "Application/IntelliJ IDEA 14.app"
choose "Show Package Contents"
edit bin/idea.properties
add this property ide.mac.useNativeClipboard=True
restart IntelliJ IDEA.
There is a YouTrack issue with further information
this worked for me
go to file menu and click on invalidate Caches/Restart ,after this confirm the dialog open .
Go to File-> Setting->Editor(Under IDE Settings)->Change value of maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard to 1(Under Limits section)
I have this issue due to PopClip I have to disable it to get the keyboard shortcuts working.
Check that your keymaps aren't messed up. Go to Android Studio > Preferences > Keymap > Main Menu > Edit. If copy and paste are set correctly there, then it must be something else in your system that's stopping it
I got this bug with my ClipMenu (on Mac) while set useNativeClipboard=true.
I solved the problem by using ClipMenu to paste file into Android Studio (show menu of ClipMenu, then select item)
In my case, the Ctrl c is occupied by other programs(my case is "Oulu Dictionary" program).
Try to check if other programs have global shortcut keys.
disable the plugin Ideavm if installed under settings>plugins>installed.
The filters are on the devices tab. But isn't this supposed to be in logcat?
How do you reset them back?
There is a way to make it appear.
Just click the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS.
But it may will miss again in some case... I guess whether it's a bug of AS.
This bug is still existing in Android Studio 3.5 the lastest stable version, I got it just now(08/26/2019 3:13PM).
Had this problem on Android Studio 3.2 Beta 4 (Windows 64-bit). Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off again made the filters reappear. Bit faster than exiting Android Studio if you're lucky enough.
Had the same problem.
Exit and restart Android Studio and it should be fixed.
Interestingly, the first time I tried to re-open Android Studio I got a crash. But the second time it worked fine. Perhaps there's a bug somewhere.
See This Image Here, Bottom of android studio left side corner click the rectangle icon.
Restart Android Studio didn't help me, nor toggling floating mode, but clicking the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS did the trick!
I fixed this by setting viewmode for logcat to a separate window and the switching view mode back to "Dock Pinned". Right click on the top bar of and you will see view mode option. It will essentially reset logcat.
I fixed by changing its location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Left Top : The logcat reappeared. After that, change it to the previous location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Bottom Left
I had the same problem.
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart solved the problem.
Bug still occurs in Android Studio 3.5
Build #AI-191.8026.42.35.5791312. What worked for me is clicking the Event Log then it shows.
I faced the same problem in Android Studio 3.3 and by Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off, the filters appeared.Hope it will help in your case also.
Just right click on the title bar of it and switch to windowed mode then go back to your mode...
Still having the problem with AS 3.5 which is awful! Fixing it every time by switching logcat window view mode from dock pinned to float and changing it back to dock pinned again.
Opened an issue here for the team to fix it. Consider starring it to get more attention, or sharing your own experience to help find the culprit.
I resolved this issue by selecting 'split mode' from the setting option of the top right corner of LogCat section of Android Studio
Happy Android Coding!
Hope this will save anyone's time!
Simple
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidade and Restart
I had the same problem. It didn't ever happened before on my PC, but now I'm using Mac and many bad things happens.
I tried to fix it by the above solutions, but nothing worked for me. What eventually did work was double clicking the toolbar (to maximize tool window).
I tired closing and reopening Android Studio and even restarting my mac and nothing worked. Instead of closing Android Studio I did invalidate cache and restart under the tab file in Android Studio and everything seems to be fixed now
I fixed in Mac by double clicking toolbar window to maximize as comments above.
I tried restarting a couple of times but that did not bring the filter menu in Logcat tab. However, in my case, it was also showing a pop-up notification to update the IDE. I updated it and got the filter option back.
I synced the files and then restarted the computer.
In my case
On your android studio press ALT+6
Go to Setting Right Top, just Click Show Tool
In your android studio settings, go to Experimental and unvalidate the "Enable new logcat" and restart your android studio, it will work.
I installed android studio.. it was working fine. Now all the sudden, none of the auto complete features are working.. I can type anything anywhere no variable checking, no help with functions or checking anything. I can still compile the project and I get errors when that happens.
Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
#1 From Build menu (of your Android Studio), click Rebuild Project option.
#2 Then once rebuild completes, go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... and Click on Invalidate an Restart button.
This really works for me.

#1 Rebuild is required, because Android-Studio does simply rely solely on Gradle's build-result (without static-analysis support, at least at time of writing, 2022).
#2 Clearing cache is required, because the previous build-result (before above rebuild) may be indexed, which makes Android Studio ignore latest Gradle build-result
(this is a very good speed optimization, but a very bad Developer-experience as well).
There can sometimes be other reasons too, which is why there are many other answers posted here.
You can also check if Power Save Mode on File menu is disabled.
Close Android Studio
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.android and rename the folder:
build-cache to build-cache_old
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (for Android studio 4 and Higher) go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old
Open Android Studio and open your project again.
Originally use:
compileSdkVersion 32
targetSdkVersion 32
And an update to 33 appeared, I updated it and the suggestions in the XML no longer appeared, I went back to 32 and now the suggestions appeared.
Close Android Studio
Go to c_users_path_on_windows/.AndroidStudio3.5/system/
Delete the cache folder
Start Android Studio
This works for me.
Most of the times i have seen that the problem is that Power Save Mode is enabled, to disable go to Current inspection profile (lower right corner in Android Studio).
I have not run into this problem personally, but try checking the following settings (File -> Settings or Alt+F7):
Project Settings [name]
Inspections - ensure that Android and Android Lint is checked, or alternately just set it back to default using the dropdown box at the top.
IDE Settings
Editor -> Code Completion - ensure the Autopopup code completion is checked (and check the rest of the settings based on your preference.
Uncheck "Power Save Mode" in "File" tab
If nothing works (like happened with me ) go to your user profile in windows at %userprofile% . You will find folders there (hidden) named with the version of the android studio you are using and prefixed with a dot.
like .AndroidStudio3.1. Just delete that .
Solution: Try disabling "File -> Power Save Mode" in Android Studio (Beta) 0.8.14 - Mac OS X
On windows, the option can be at some other place.
I had the same problem then I recalled that while exploring the new android studio, I switched on the "File -> Power Save Mode" to see what it does?
I disabled the power save mode and all those intelligent features were back.
It turned out that in Power Save Mode, Android Studio switches off the modules responsible for features like Smart Code Completion and Code Analysis.
I had a similar problem where none of the other solutions worked.
Closing Android Studio and then deleting the .idea and build folders resolved the issue.
Disable Power Save Mode and Invalidate Cache and Restart.
For Artic Fox 2020|3.1 Version: Auto Complete Suggestion Problem.
Please Follow the Following Steps:
Close Android Studio
Locate caches folder in C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3
and Delete it.
Open Android Studio Again.
Check your Android studio version and Target that version folder at below location
C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google
Note : AppData folder is Hidden in Windows
This Solution also works if android studio mess up with xml files and java code. Don't! modify your code otherwise IDE won't able to change it to default. If you see such messy code just follow above steps and your code will be fine again.
It's Working
Disable Power Save Mode
Untick Power Save Mode Option ::
File -> Power Save Mode
There is a power saver mode in android studio if accidentally you click on that it will disable code analysis which will reduce the battery consumption and performance will also increase but it will not detect any errors and do auto complete operations.
To disable power saver mode
- Go to File Menu of Studio
- Uncheck The Power Saver Mode
In your IDE code analysis will be shown using an eye symbol at the right corner of your android studio.
If Green means it is enabled and there is no error in your code.
If Red Means It is enabled but there are few errors in your code.
If It is white or blur then code analysis is disabled
Just remove all the folders named AndroidStudioPreview
On Windows:
Go to your User Folder - on Windows 7/8 this would be:
[SYSDRIVE]:\Users[your username] (ex. C:\Users\JohnDoe)
In this folder there should be a folder called .AndroidStudioPreview
On Mac OS X
Remove these files:
~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview
There can be several things which cause this.
Make sure you've write the correct version in targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion.
Make sure targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion are same.
Other solutions can be:
Invalidate caches & restart Android Studio from File → Invalidate Caches / Restarts...
Clean your project from Build → Clean Project
Rebuild project from Build → Rebuild Project
Make project from Build → Make Project [this process may take some time]
Be sure to check for IDE errors by clicking the button at the bottom right of android studio.
In my case, there was a bad plugin, and the IDE Fatal Errors window prompted me to uninstall the plugin. (I wish I'd known about this feature before spending half a day invalidating caches, deleting folders, and reinstalling android studio with no luck.)
It worked for me.
From menu select:
File -> Power Save Mode
and make sure it's disabled
Go TO Left Side Top File Option
Then Click To Power Save Mode
Disable Power Save Mode That Fix This Issue
In my case, when I switch keyboard language to English, the auto complete works again.
if the autocomplete isn't working for you in Android Studio, just press File and uncheck the Power save mode, it should work fine after that.
if power save mode is already unchecked then first check then uncheck them.
If you have a library project included, make sure the library has the dependencies in build.gradle listed using the api configuration, not the implementation configuration.
Also make sure that the project that includes the library has all the dependencies listed (using the implementation configuration is fine here).
'The file size (2561270 bytes) exceeds configured limit (2560000 bytes). Code insight features are not available.'
Had this issue for days with none of these proposed solutions working before eventually getting this message in yellow under the tabs after adding a line of code. Removing the line of code eliminated the message but not the issue. There appears to be a code size window where you lose insight features but don't get this message, at least for me. Once you go over a certain point the message finally pops up. The suggested solution in a different thread for this issue was to edit 'Help/Edit Custom Properties' to increase the configured limit, but just opening this brought up a dialogue asking if I wanted to create an 'idea.properties' folder so I decided not to risk that approach over eventually cutting the file size.
If sometimes this problem can occur if you misspelled a file extension or make a file without adding an extension.
Check you have added the file extension correctly.
I think that answer may help you.
I'm using mac and suddenly the code completion (^space) not working. There are no errors. Turned out the android studio's shortcut was conflicted with system's shortcut. I don't know why it suddenly happen because it was fine before, maybe there was an update on my Mac.
See below setting for the conflicting shortcut
In my case, C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3\ just delete caches folder and restart android studio. after deleting this caches folder my problem was solved :)
I encounter with this problem while adding a kotlin library into my project on mac. Changing macbook language to english solved this problem. I also had some weird problems with auto-generated databinding codes, those are also solved.
Try Invalidate caches/Restart from File in Menu Bar from android studio.
Close Android Studio
Go to
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.android
and rename the following folder to:
build-cache to build-cache_old
then Go to (Android studio lower then version 4)
C:\Users\UserName.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (Android studio 4 and Higher) Go to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
or
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2021.2
depending on your version and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old (if exists)
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old (if exists)
Open Android Studio again and the autosuggsion will be fixed.
and You can also check if Power Save Mode is disabled or not from the File menu.
