Installed android studio canary 4.0, but where to see the "Live updates" in Layout Inspector as in the copied screenshot (in my installed one there is no such checkBox?
Open Settings windows from File menu, Click Experimental
settings, you can able to view the menu 'Enable Live Layout Inspector'. Enable the checkbox and Apply the settings.
you can able to view the Layout Inspector window in bottom right of
Android studio prefer to Event Log window.
At the top of Layout Inspector window, you have the Live updates control.
.
You have to opt into it since its currently experimental. In android studio go to Preferences > Experimental > Layout Inspector, and enable live layout inspector. Then restart studio and you should see a Layout Inspector tab on the bottom right of studio.

I have installed latest version of Android Studio as well as all the necessary plugins such as Dart and Flutter. When I run an application and hit the Flutter Inspector tab on the right side of the screen, the Flutter Inspector window pops up with a message saying "The JxBrowser license could not be found".
I have tried all the workarounds indicated in this thread but were to no avail.
Is there anything I missed about the JxBrowser or something?
I've experienced the same message. But I think I've found a temporal way to use the inspector on Android Studio without Layout Explorer (Visualization part for widgets) before Flutter team fixing it.
Go to Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > Flutter and uncheck Enable embedding DevTools in the Flutter Inspector tool window
Then you can use it without Layout Explorer inside Android Studio.
But, if you have to use such a Layout Explorer, then you can use the DevTools in the browser.
In Android Studio 3.x (and before) when I ran the Layout inspector, the view hierarchy was automatically captured and saved in a *.li file. When I start the Layout Inspector in Android Studio 4.0, the view hierarchy is not saved anywhere.
Can I somehow export the view hierarchy from the new Layout Inspector to a file, so I am able to share it with others? For now I can say that I'm only able to open the *.li files in AS 4.0, but not save it.
I found one solution for the above case. You need to type shift two times and then type legacy layout inspector. The old layout inspector will open and you can save its .li file.
I found it useful because I can do it in the Android Studio 4.0.
I can use new feature from Android Studio 4.0 Layout Inspector as well can save .li file using the legacy layout inspector.
Another option is to disable the Live Layout Inspector feature in the Android Studio Preferences window. It can be found in the Experimental section, as in the screenshot below:
I brought an app source code from (CodeCanyon) and i want to change the side navigation drawer icon from the given one to the default hamburger icon or something.
They have given me the docs of Flutter page to change it using Flutter Inspector but i don't know how to do it.
Here is the link they send me...
https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/devtools/inspector
Help me out...
From Android Studio, run the application in an Emulator or real device.
In the debug tab of Android Studio the 'Open DevTools' button (its icon is the Dart logo) next to the Hot Reload and Hot Restart buttons. This will launch a Dart DevTools tab.
After the new browser tab opens, click the "Try DevTools beta" button in the top right of the screen. This will take you to a new beta version of DevTools.
From there you will see what the linked page is talking about, but you must be on the latest version of Flutter.
On 25th june flutter has declared the stable dev tool, in that if you want to change in ui then,you just have to open dev tool with your connected device and in Flutter inspector enable the select widget mode. and in layout explorer you can changes the ui design properties. But remember one thing you can only changes in the row, column and container properties.
In Android Studio 3.5.3 , the menu Tools->AVD Manager and View->Tools Windows->Logcat is not available when a newly(or existing) flutter project is opened.
I looked at https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/2159 , and
<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
is in the outer most iml file.
Please suggest how to find/enable it. For now I have to open an Android project to open these two menu items.
LogCat won't appear for a flutter project and does not seem to be available to enable in the current version of Android Studio. If you open an Android project in another window, THAT window will have LogCat which can be connected to the device you are trying to debug.
AVD Manager does not have a menu item in Flutter but is available from an icon in the toolbar. See picture.
It's also worth checking out DevTools, which opens up in the browser, as an additional (not LogCat) debugging resource. The button to this is found in the Run Window when you are running an app.
There two ways to find or unable it
1. Go to the View-> Tool Windows and you can choose whatever you want to put in Tool WindowBar
2. Go to the View-> And Tick or select on Tool Window Bars
After doing that you can see the logs for particular apps, And for AVD manager...
Go to the Tools-> AVD Manager
Design tab is not visible in Android Studio. How to enable it ?
View - Window tools - viewer is not visible.
Thanks
I recently ran into this problem. Try File > Sync Project with Gradle Files. This can also help with configuration problems
The view that you are looking for is called the "preview" window in android studio.
You have to open a layout view in your project. Navigate to src/main/res/layout/ in your project and select the xml layout file you want to work with.
If the preview window doesn't automatically open up, you can open the view by selecting from the tool bar View>Tool Windows>Preview
There will be a "Design" and "Text" tab at the bottom of the xml layout.
