I updated my Android Studio recently to 4.0 and now when I type code incorrectly, and I mouse over the red squiggly line to see what it expects or suggests, the tooltip appears and disappears very quickly. I can't read it. In fact, it's even harder now to get the thing to show up, it's very precise where the mouse pointer is. I've restarted everything including my computer. I've changed the tooltip settings from 700 to 2000 with no change. Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it?
Thanks all!
I found the answer via this link:
Android Studio , tooltip disappearing so fast
Basically, put a bunch of random letters in your filter for Logcat and it will stop the messages, the tooltip will stay up. When Logcat is running it's interrupting the tooltips now for some reason. I think this must be a bug.

"One or more layouts are missing the layout_width or layout_height attributes" seems pretty intuitive, but if you still don't know how to fix that:
press on "Code" and copy all of the XML layout, then update your question with the code

I sometimes get this randomly on top of everything when using Android Studio. These lines show randomly and the only way I have to remove it is by restarting the whole IDE.
Sometimes it's 3 lines, sometimes 6. Sometimes I can double-click on it and it takes me to that part of the code, sometimes it doesn't react at all if I click on it.
Right now, even if I minimize the Android Studio Window, this "overlay" is on top of everything else, even the Desktop.
I've looked online and the only thing that looks like it is the "code lens" option that appears when hovering the scrolling bar, but that's not it.
Does anyone know why does that happen and how to disable it?
follow the steps :
Editor -> General -> Appearance
find : Show Code Lens on scrollbar hover, and disable it
Second option would be : - If you right click on the scroll bar you will see checked the option "show code lens". Uncheck and you are good to go.
I'm using the emulator with Android Studio, and I'm experiencing the phenomenon shown in the image below.
The problem occurs only when the screen is turned sideways.
It does not happen in the default screen.
I don't know how to solve this problem, and I was wondering if you could tell me something that would help me.
Thank you very much!
You can solve this in three ways:
disable screen rotation - add this to the manifest XML under the relevant activity
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
If you want to go the long and better route it seems to me that you are using a layout that is not constraint layout, the latter supports rotation better, and when constraint correctly what is shown here should not happen.
If all else fails you can use special layout when the screen is in landscape mode, you can read more here:
Android Studio: Creating landscape layouts
Hi, does anyone know what is it on the left?
It is unfoldable, non-draggable, useless and empty area across entire code. It appears in every opened class. If you click on it, you'll set a breakpoint. You can not collapse it. I do not remember how or why I got this, but then I didn't find any key or menu or button combination to heal this bug.
THis is the last Android Studio 3.6.3. And the same was before upgrade.
Please help, it eats my space and nerves!
UPD Gutter icons look ok.
Maybe your gutter icons are messed up. Check via the settings or the context menu on the gutter (i.e. where the line numbers are).
After 2 months of terribly inconvenient work I finally found the cause. To turn it off do
View - Appearance - Exit Distraction Free mode.
Amazingly, but this big white indent was intended to not distract me (from what? nothing else has changed).
I am new to android development. The mouse pointer on the design page is as shown in the screenshot. I am not able to edit anything like increasing the height and width of the widget on this page. I might be able to do it in XML but I want it done here.
I want a normal mouse pointer where I can edit the widgets.
I tried looking at some of the blogs but it didn't help.
activity.xml - design
It worked after removing the cache files and restarting the android studio
