How do I set the function to automatically go to that code when I click the widget from flutter to the inspector?
develop environment is Android Studio.

Not sure what you are asking, perhaps you want to hold down control or command, depending on your OS, and left click.
Usually that takes you to the code referring to that function or class.

If you are using VSCode editor, you can do it with CTRL (command in macOS) + left click. When you hover your mouse to Widget's name, for example, it will highlight the text and then you can click it. It will bring you to the Widget class

Why does Android Studio never show layout decorations when I open it?

As you can see in the image below, every time I open a project in Android Studio, the layout decorations option is deselected. How can I have it selected for default?
look on the top left of constraintLayout that you currently open, click on the eye icon and then click Show Layout Decorations. then you will be able to see it. but i don't know how to access it.
I think is not possible. I never see about that the solution

Android Studio Debug Watch pane is missing

OK this is really stupid. I have no idea what happened to the debug watch frame in Android Studio. I have 1.5.1 of Studio.
Is there some secret knowledge from intellij to show it.
Here's the icon that #jamesldurham referred to:
Thanks James! I think it would have taken me a long time to find that :/
Ok I with some help there is a button debug menu that looks like a desaturated American flag that when pressed brings it back.
The tool tip will show restore layout.
If you don't want to restore the entire debug layout, the below image is pointing to the "restore watches view" button. It is in the upper right corner of the debug console and looks like a pair of green shaded glasses over a window.
The button to its left restrores the "Threads" view, and to the right restores the "Variables" view.
Unlike previous IDEs the Watch panel is now totally integrated into the Variables panel
And there is no watch the variable option neither in the popup when right clicking on a variable.
The only option is to select the varaible that needs to be watched and drag and drop it onto the Variables panel.
Check that you have the Frames tab selected instead of Development, in the left bottom section.

Switching TabHost Tabs in Android Studio UI Designer

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.

How re-enable design palette in Android Studio

I recently made the switch to Android Studio as my default IDE for Android development. When designing my UI I normally use the palette in the design view to assist in arranging the widget on the preview screen.Recently something weird happened, It just disappeared and I can't seem to re-enable it. Normally I would see the little Palette button on the side but now its gone. When I open another project I see the palette but not show this current project I'm working on.
When I open another project in Android Studio I see the palette tab.
I've just figured this out! If you double click on your .xml file tab at the top it will maximize the designer window. Then on the left you can drag the window to shrink and it will reveal the palette. Then just click on the tab on the left to open the project window.
try the Design/Text tabs in the lower left of the layout window
The palette can be shrunk to 0 width. This can be expanded by hovering next to the left edge of the design window, and finding the right-most expand position.
If you have only the designer and the properties showing and the Properties is on the right, you can get the palette back by switching to a left or right view.
Right click on the .xml file tab. Select "split vertically". This will open another Design that shows the palette again.
Android Studio 2.3.3, and the answer I was looking for:
Window -> Restore Default Layout (Shift+F12)
First Close All The Tabs Then Open res->layout->activity_main.xml
you will able to see design tab at activity_main.xml
Try to switch between Design/Text tabs at the bottom left of the editor.
You must have something in the layout resource highlighted. I also had to compile without an error.
My solution was traversing
src->main->res-layout->content_main.xml
then open content_main.xml
You have to be in the 'Design' tab (as opposed to the 'Text' tab) at the bottom of the middle window (the one that shows the phone).
