Is there a way to hide icons highlighted below in Android Studio? Also, is there a way to set layout Design view zoom to a specific value, say 25% by default. I did search the forum as usual but couldn't find specific answers. If there are already, would appreciate the link. Thank you.
Please note the second part of the image is rotated left by 90 degrees to minimize space. Android Studio 3.6.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate.
PS: I did try distraction free mode, even then some of these icons wouldn't go away.
Raised an enhancement request with Google, apparently they thought well of it. Seems its fixed per the tracker here. Hopefully it will roll out in next release.

I'm learning Android Studio, so I clicked a few buttons to add vertical and horizontal guidelines, but how to roll back ? In the following image you can see how they look, but I can't figure out how to not show the guidelines ?
I figured it out, select it, make sure it turns blue, then hit "Delete" key to get rid of it.
Select the guidelines or just go into the COMPONENT TREE window below the Palettes and delete the guidelines you want.
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
I upgraded my Android Studio and then look has changed. I can no longer see the "Phone View".

And this is what I was seeing (Notice the Blue Bar or the phone interface on the left)
I searched google for Android Studio Design Structures and other terms. I also wen through their tutorails but I coudn't figure it out. been at it for couple of hours now. Hope I am not missing something very simple?
In the UI you have a dropdown with an eye icon for some viewing options. In that dropdown you should enable Show Layout Decorations.
Recently, I've been working for some theming project for Android launchers. I need some guidance and advice from the people around here that could help me with this.
I have created one sample icon for Opera mobile with the size of 192x192. The question is, if I made that icon size as mentioned, should I create another size for it, e.g. 128x128? I'm a bit confused.
Thanks.
I am not sure if understand your question. If you add a drawable resource to Android Studio, it automatically resizes it to multiple sizes. If you have created one, that will be resized automatically.
Hope this helps.
If you want to design icons for android, you better design some for different resolutions. You have to make an icon for each. See at this article https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#overview. There are the different densities and the multiplication factors.

And open it from studio layout and make changes.

The Android resource system gives you the tools to provide alternate resources based on the available width, height, or smallest width — important measurements that serve as the basis for choosing when to change our UI based on the space available.
Width and Breakpoints
Width is perhaps the most important dimension when it comes to choosing when to change your UI. This is because width is the basis for the breakpoint system.
A very good example is here
