I have dual screens on my Windows desktop and I like to keep Android Studio run logcat on one of them open all the time. Every time I hit Run the logcat window automatically hides and I need to click on the tab to make it appear again, which is annoying. Is there a setting where I can keep the logcat window always visible?
To do that
Simply open the Logcat window once more...
Click on the settings icon at the far right
Then select Pinned Mode there
This should work...i hope it helped...

I am trying to run my Android Studio applications using my emulator. But when i try to run it emulator only shows up like this:
Emulator stuck in taskbar - Windows 10
I have created multiple Virtual devices though..and all of these have same issue. Sadly, I have no control over my emulator except if i hover over it then only the screen for emulator is displayed but the view is minimized and as soon as I move my mouse away or even if i double click the screen nothing happens. By the way i'm using windows 10 and Android Studio 3.6.3. My problem is similar to Android Studio emulator gets stuck minimised in task bar. But this question has not been helpful to me in fixing my problem.
Mabye it opens somewhere else: Try the following:
- Press SHIFT+CTRL
- Right Click on the Program showing up in the taskbar.
- Select the "Move" Window option
- Use the keyboard (Left Arrow/Right Arrow) <-/ -> keys to move the window to the center of the screen.
- Try holding down the left arrow key for a while to see the Window outline. Try moving right/up/down if the window outline is still not visible.
- Hit enter when you can see the Window outline move to the center of the screen.
It appears that the desktop extends beyond the Screen Display and the program window seems hidden. Moving the Window either to the Left / Right / Top/ Bottom of the screen helps.
Coppied from here.
I hope not to be off topic.
I consider Android's logcat window in Android Studio horribly annoying, even working with two monitors.
To open the logcat window, that often needs to be fairly big, my procedure is:
click below on "Android Monitor"
select the current running device (one time only)
click on that tiny and almost invisible icon on the extreme right
reduce again the Android Monitor that I don't need at all
most of the times resize and move the logcat window.
Whenever a change has to be written or something has to be seen on the emulator, the logcat window needs to be moved or closed, because it stands on top of every window, and this leads to perform that same sequence again after maybe few minutes.
Debugging using logcat becomes a pain, made of opening and closing that same window dozens of times.
I want that window to popup or dock automatically with one single icon click or with a key combination from the right, or the left, like for example "Android Model", without getting crazy every time. One click shows it, one click hides it.
Is it possible?
I somehow turned the documentation popup to be manually closed. It's incredibly annoying and I can't find the setting to undo it. Whatever I did adds maximize, minimize buttons and these windows have to be manually closed now.
I actually found out. It's called pinned mode. I got into it by clicking the pin icon on the window at the top right. Of course once you're in pinned mode, and you try to deselect it from the gear, nothing happens.
How to fix
enable toolbars
hit the red X to restore popup
Ok... I'm sure that I was able to do this on previous versions. I just want to be able to step while watching logcat at the same time. They are now on separate panes. Is there a way to show the debug toolbars with step options on the Android Monitor/logcat tab? Right now I can do it by detaching and resizing panes but it is painful. Or can I just "lock" the debug toolbar on the side of the screen somewhere? BTW. I know about using split but I really would like the debugger tab and the logcat tab full size.
Is there a way to disable the scrolling in LogCat?
I am using Android Studio 0.2.10.
If you just click on a line of the logcat it will stop scrolling. You will then notice that the keys on the right become highlighted. This gives you various options among them the restart scrolling.
You need to click on a line (any line). Then it stops the auto "annoying" scroll.
(If you pass the mouse on the 4th icon, it tells you this).
Just double click the one of line in Logcat.
