I saw a video tutorial on flutter coding, of mouse clicking on a widget showing additional information about widgets. Details of that are shown below.
But when I wrote the same code in Android Studio, it didn't show me that additional information. Why is that, and how can I change it?
In Android Studio Goto
File->Settings->Editor->General
and Enable
Show quick documentation on mouse move.

I'd like to be able to see a suggestion that will allow me to see what colour belongs to which colour name/number when using Android studio.
Please note that "Show quick documentation on mouse move" has been activated in my Android studio general settings.
This is what my screen looks like when my mouse is on "blueGrey"

I sometimes have the same issue. For me, when I open the Quick Documentation with CTRL Q (Command J on Mac), then it shows the color swatches like on your second picture.
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
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
In previous versions Android Studio I could see the device's skin at layout editor, now (Android Studio 2.3.3) i cant see it , is there any way to look my device's skin on layout editor?
That isn't matter but i wanna see it.
Excuse my english!
Click anywhere inside the Preview frame and press your keyboard's F key.
The background around the Layout Editor in Android Studio is dark grey. I think it used to be white. Anyway, I would like to make it white again, but I can't find the setting. The reason I want to change it is so that I can make nicer looking print screen images to use on StackOverflow or app descriptions.
Note: I'm not talking about changing the theme or the code editor colors. These questions have already been answered here:

Android Studio 3.0 has a Screenshot menu item. Right click the design area and choose Save Screenshot.
From there you can make a screenshot with a transparent background.
