How to make my emulator shows up outside of my android studio?

Recently, I updated my android studio to bumblebee version, and when I run my codes, I realized that my emulator are shown inside of my android studio instead of creating a new window for the emulator. you can see what I mean, here.
does anybody knows how to fix this? I already tried to change the settings but nothing is changed. should I reverse the update?
I had the same issue, to resolve it do the following:
In Android Studio: click on
File,
Settings,
Click on the Tools dropdown,
Emulator,
uncheck the "Launch in a tool Window" box
Settings with Launch in a tool window checkbox

Touch Bar icons not showing for Android Studio after update

I'm using a MacBook for the first time.
I had Android Studio 4.0 or 4.1 (I think) installed. It used to show me all the icons in the Touch Bar like the green run icon and the debug icons so I could use them directly from there. Even when in debug mode I used to get all the icons for stepping over or stepping into code.
After that I updated Android Studio 2-3 times and I am currently on Android Studio 4.2.1 and it has stopped showing any of the Touch Bar icons for Android Studio since the first time I updated. There are times when debugging that the debugging icons show for a while and then suddenly disappear. I'm facing this issue only with Android Studio.
According to another answer online, I am supposed to have a folder for Touch Bar (Settings) under Android Studio: Preferences > Menu and Toolbars but I don't have and folder for Touch Bar Settings there.
Can any one help me resolve this issue?
Thanks

To resolve this issue, revert any customizations you have made to those buttons as follows:
Select File > Settings (or Android Studio > Preferences on macOS).
On the left of the window, navigate to Appearance & Behavior > Menus and Toolbars.
On the right side of the window, navigate to Main Toolbar > Toolbar Run Actions and select Run/Debug.
Near the top of the window, click Revert. and select Restore Run/Debug.
Click OK. You should now see the missing buttons in the toolbar.
Open Terminal and type the following commands:
mkdir -p ~/Library/Frameworks/nst.framework/
cd ~/Library/Frameworks/nst.framework/
ln -s path/to/android/studio/install/Contents/bin/libnst64.dylib nst
This issue has been resolved after I upgraded to
Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1
Build #AI-203.7717.56.2031.7583922
An interesting thing about Android Studio Artic Fox is that it has changed the versioning scheme to match that of it's parent product, the Intellij IDEA 2020.3.1. So rather than Android Studio 4.3 it is now Android Studio 2020.3.1 with code name Artic Fox. This will keep the versioning schemes systematic.
There are a lot of cool feature updates too.

Delete the Android Studio folder in the user's folder. Let Android Studio download everything back and the view will become normal.
Going to events on the home screen and clicking 'enable android support' that this fixed my issue, however I did need to re-install all the SDK versions I previously used.

Intellij Idea 2017.3 (and Android studio 3.1) project tool window doesn't show visibility icons anymore

After upgrading to Intellij Idea 2017.3 and to Android Studio 3.1 canary 6 I noticed the project tool window doesn't show the little lock icons next to files anymore.
This is very useful to have a bird's eye view on the visibility of each file (public, package protected...).
Is there a setting to bring them back?

Android 3.0 Canary 5 layout editor issue

I am new in android studio, and i just installed the version 3.0 canary 5 because it's supports Kotlin (and i want to learn kotlin). When I create i new project, the design editor seems to not work properly. When i drag a a component like a button, he just go on the corner and become not visible. But when i run the app and view it in my android phone it works correctly. The problem i guess is just with the design editor of android studio.
Screenshot of the problem
