My setup is a main display set above my laptop screen. I've recently upgraded to the newest version of Android Studio Dolphin 2021.3.1 on Windows 11 after a couple months away and now the quick docs bleed down into my laptop screen:
I've downgraded again to Chipmunk 2021.2.1 to confirm that the quick docs used to stay on the main display:
As both my main and my laptop display are the same resolution, but different sizes, it offsets and shrinks half of the quick docs window, not to mention separates it with a taskbar and two bezels, which makes them unreadable most of the time. I'd much prefer the old way.
Am I missing some setting or is this a bug (or intended feature)?
I've browsed and searched through the settings, but found no way to revert the way the quick docs are displayed. I've done a google search and found noone experiencing the same issue.
EDIT: After tinkering a bit I found that clicking on code and pressing the ctrl+Q shortcut makes the quick docs draw on main display as expected. Only on hovering over code does the above problem appear. I've reported it as a bug
I've just begun (today) learning how to code for Android. I have my first basic app up and running, but when I rotate the emulator, it goes into this really weird view. I don't know how to explain it, so I'll just attach a screenshot:
As you can see, half of the screen is rotated one direction, and half of the screen is rotated another direction. Only one side of the screen can be interacted with -- the other side is "dead" and doesn't respond to anything.
Looks like it's a bug with Android Studio 4.1 + Big Sur:
https://developer.android.com/studio/known-issues
The suggested fixes both work (copying here for posterity):
Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences > General. In the
Prefer tabs when opening documents option, select "never". Then
restart Android Studio.
Upgrade to Android Studio 4.2, currently available in the Beta channel.
I updated all the drivers of my PC. Tried all the resolutions, but still the problem exists. I am not able to access the buttons bellow. Please help.
Here is the screen shot, trying to create new project.
This is a bug that has plagued Android Studio users for months now running on lower resolutions, such as 1366 x 768. The window in question cannot be resized.
To progress to the next screen, simply press Enter.
Edit:
I can say from experience this bug exists in version 1.3, however I can't confirm if it exists in 1.4.
The filters are on the devices tab. But isn't this supposed to be in logcat?
How do you reset them back?
There is a way to make it appear.
Just click the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS.
But it may will miss again in some case... I guess whether it's a bug of AS.
This bug is still existing in Android Studio 3.5 the lastest stable version, I got it just now(08/26/2019 3:13PM).
Had this problem on Android Studio 3.2 Beta 4 (Windows 64-bit). Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off again made the filters reappear. Bit faster than exiting Android Studio if you're lucky enough.
Had the same problem.
Exit and restart Android Studio and it should be fixed.
Interestingly, the first time I tried to re-open Android Studio I got a crash. But the second time it worked fine. Perhaps there's a bug somewhere.
See This Image Here, Bottom of android studio left side corner click the rectangle icon.
Restart Android Studio didn't help me, nor toggling floating mode, but clicking the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS did the trick!
I fixed this by setting viewmode for logcat to a separate window and the switching view mode back to "Dock Pinned". Right click on the top bar of and you will see view mode option. It will essentially reset logcat.
I fixed by changing its location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Left Top : The logcat reappeared. After that, change it to the previous location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Bottom Left
I had the same problem.
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart solved the problem.
Bug still occurs in Android Studio 3.5
Build #AI-191.8026.42.35.5791312. What worked for me is clicking the Event Log then it shows.
I faced the same problem in Android Studio 3.3 and by Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off, the filters appeared.Hope it will help in your case also.
Just right click on the title bar of it and switch to windowed mode then go back to your mode...
Still having the problem with AS 3.5 which is awful! Fixing it every time by switching logcat window view mode from dock pinned to float and changing it back to dock pinned again.
Opened an issue here for the team to fix it. Consider starring it to get more attention, or sharing your own experience to help find the culprit.
I resolved this issue by selecting 'split mode' from the setting option of the top right corner of LogCat section of Android Studio
Happy Android Coding!
Hope this will save anyone's time!
Simple
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidade and Restart
I had the same problem. It didn't ever happened before on my PC, but now I'm using Mac and many bad things happens.
I tried to fix it by the above solutions, but nothing worked for me. What eventually did work was double clicking the toolbar (to maximize tool window).
I tired closing and reopening Android Studio and even restarting my mac and nothing worked. Instead of closing Android Studio I did invalidate cache and restart under the tab file in Android Studio and everything seems to be fixed now
I fixed in Mac by double clicking toolbar window to maximize as comments above.
I tried restarting a couple of times but that did not bring the filter menu in Logcat tab. However, in my case, it was also showing a pop-up notification to update the IDE. I updated it and got the filter option back.
I synced the files and then restarted the computer.
In my case
On your android studio press ALT+6
Go to Setting Right Top, just Click Show Tool
In your android studio settings, go to Experimental and unvalidate the "Enable new logcat" and restart your android studio, it will work.
I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue with visual studio (or a VS extension because I have a few installed) and what is causing this? The number goes away when I close visual studio and I have not been able to figure our what is causing this. The number is overlayed on my desktop and not just visual studio. It covers all other windows I have open as well telling me it's set to be always on top.
Anyone else come across this issue or what is causing it?
I figured it out!
This has been bothering me for years. I finally just sat down and solved the problem. Basically, VS has this little known feature where you can navigate through code lens with just your keyboard. If you press Alt for a couple of seconds, you will see numbers just like the ones that appear at the top of your screen above your current method. To fix it, just long press Alt again and the number should go away. If you have many VS instances open you might have to go through them one by one.
I don't have significant reputation to comment, but I am experiencing this both with VS2013 and VS2015 too. The only extension I have installed is Resharper.
My research shows that it is caused by the hover text / overlays from various components. The only way I have found to get rid of them is to close the Visual Studio IDE window responsible.
