The top action bar in android studio (android studio itself, where i select file, build.. etc) is hidden, how can i show it again ?
I tried to edit everything in settings but nothing worked.
I'm using Android Studio 4.1. Following steps fixed it for me :
Press CTRL + ALT + S. This will open settings window.
Go to Appearance and Behavior > Menus and Toolbars
Click on restore button (looks like a undo button)
Choose Restore Main menu
Then click apply button.
I recently updated my laptop to Ubuntu 18.04 and lost my Android Studio 3.5.1 settings including the toolbar, which now looks like this:
How do I get back to the default toolbar, which had a bunch of icons to the right of app drop-down menu (Select device drop-down menu, run button, Apply changes and restart, etc.)? Modifying the toolbar with right-click "Customize Menus and Toolbars..." doesn't work the way it did in earlier versions; there's no "Add after... button.
In Android Studio 3.5.3, after you right click in an empty area on the toolbar and select "Customize Menus and Toolbars...", you'll see the option to restore defaults at the top of the pop-up window.
After the 3.2.1 update the Undo and Redo buttons disappeared from the Main Toolbar.
I can still access them at the Main Menu, but I can't see them on the Main Toolbar.
How do I add them back? I don't see it as an option. It used to be useful that you could look at the toolbar and see right away if there were any changes but now they are gone.
Right-click on the emtpy space of the toolbar, on the right side, away from the buttons, and select "Customize Menus and Toolbars...".
Now open the "Main Toolbar" folder and click on any item where you want to place the undo or redo item between, then click the "Add After..." button.
Finally open "Main menu" then "Edit" folders, and click on the undo or redo button, then "Ok" and "Ok" again.
Do this once for each button :)
Just a quick question. How do I remove/disable this tool bar in android studio ? I cant seem to find a setting to disable it.
Open Android Studio
Goto: View -> Click on Navigation Bar option (Keep it unchecked)
Now, Your entire bar will be hidden.
Again, Goto: View -> Click on Navigation Bar option
Now, Click on Toolbar option (Keep it checked)
Your window should look like this:
By mistake I removed the toolbar in Android Studio IDE. How can I get it back.
Note: I am not talking about toolbar in android app
If your Main Menu toolbar is hidden you can get it back by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N (or double tap Shift on Android Studio 4.x) and search for the View | Appearance: Main Menu Action. Toggle to ON to enable the menu again:
Select View->
Click on Toolbars
The simple way:
If you have accidentally hidden your Main menubar:
Double tap on Shift on your keyboard.
On the popped up window click on Actions and type mainmenu.
A toggle button labelled " view appearence : Main Menu - OFF" will appear.
Click on toogle OFF to make it ON.
Now, the Main Menu is shown. very simple!
For the version of 3.6.1,
It is actually in View > Appearance > Tool Window Bars.
Make sure it is ticked.
It is frustrating when you accidentally hide toolbars & even when the main menubar is also hidden, it is difficult to get back because the View tab is also hidden after the main menubar.
So what to do?
Press Alt+CTRL+S - this will open all settings.
In settings, that go to keymaps.
Find Main Menu-> View-> Toggle the main menu.
Select it and assign any shortcut you like after clicking the little pencil icon on top.
Close settings and press your shortcuts, - main menu opens.
You can similarity assign to Main Menu-> View-> Toolbar and show toolbar again on Android studio IDE. Alternatively, after the main menu opened, click VIEW-> Toolbar tab.
This's the way easy and simple:
Click on Search Everywhere icon.
Type "Main Menu" (or anything you want to find: status bar, navigation bar, tool bar ...).
Click on Status Button to enable ON mode for it.
Done!!!

Step 3: Now press the shortcut key (In my case its M) and you will see a popup Main menu
Step 4: Click on View -> Appearance -> Main menu
Finally, you will see your Main menu again :)
Step 5:

Right-click on the Main menu, Select Remove -> Hit Apply, then OK button
If you're on Linux and the Main menu disappeared after updating AS, and you can't find it in the View | Appearance as suggested in the other answers, then it's probably because of an experimental Linux native menu flag got enabled.
Double tap Shift (or do Ctrl + Shift + A), to get the window to type in what action are you looking for, and type Experimental features. Then find linux.native.menu and uncheck it. Then restart AS.

Depending on your version of Android Studio, the option was moved:
Older versions:
View > Toolbars
Newer versions:
View > Appearence > Toolbars
I have the version 3.6.1 and for me it is in the second case now.
It is actually in View > Appearance > Tool Window Bars.
Make sure it is ticked.
If you have hidden your Main menu bar:
Follow the below steps:
Click on Main Menu -> View
on View -> Click on Tool Windows
In Tool Windows select the project or if you required any other menu you can add
Now, the Main Menu is shown. very simple!
You can similarity assign to Main Menu-> View-> Toolbar and show toolbar again on Android studio IDE. Alternatively, after the main menu opened, click VIEW-> Toolbar tab. Save this answer.
