It's super frustrating. After every change in the layout inside a scroll layout, the scroll jumps all the way to the top. is there a way to prevent it? Having to scroll down every time is a major flaw in the work flow

I have been working on a app that allows user to fill details on a form but while making the form in design view one problem has slowed me down so much.
i am using a scroll view so every new item gets added at the bottom so its always off screen.
i scrolls down to see how it looks but after i do anything the scroll view auto scrolls to the top so i have to scroll down again and again.
is there a way to stop auto scrolling to top when code get updated in the editor.
This is hopefully pretty straight forward, but after an hour of searching online, I couldn't find anyone else complaining about this issue. Perhaps I just haven't found the right wording to describe it.
My company recently switched to Excel 2016, and I HATE the way the scrollbars work. If you drag the scrollbar with the mouse, your current view freezes in place until you 'drop' the scrollbar. Then the screen suddenly jumps to this part of the spreadsheet. It used to actively display the spreadsheet as you dragged the scrollbar around, so you could see everything as you moved around.
I constantly work with enormous spreadsheets where I need to find specific sections quickly, and now that the scrollbar has become useless, it takes me much longer to navigate.
I understand you can use the arrow keys, or different shortcuts to jump through a spreadsheet, but I found the scrollbar very useful when moving through very large files. I can't be the only person who wants this functionality turned back on, but I can't find any information on it, or any settings I can switch.
This fix works for me. In Win 10 open Control Panel. Navigate to: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Centre\Make the computer easier to see. Near the bottom in the section "Make things on the screen easier to see" is a tick-box: "Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)". This was ticked for me by default so I unticked it and clicked the Apply button after which the scroll bar in Excel started to work as it does in Win 7, i.e. the cells in the background move as you drag the scrollbar left/right and up/down. Perfect.
Is there a way when documentation popup on AS to not hide immediately after it is showed by moving mouse on some class. What I mean. I move mouse cursor above Activity class and documentation is popup is showed, but when I try to move mouse above this popup (because I have to scroll it) it disappears. I can hold ctrl and then is will not hide, but if I press on it while holdint ctrl down it will disappear (so I should move cursor above it, release ctrl and after that to start scrolling). So is there an option to change this behaviour to be like in eclipse - documentation pop up is showed and if you move mouse above it you can scroll, otherwise it is closed.
There are a lot of bugs surrounding this UI element. I'm currently having the opposite problem where it won't go away unless I manually close it. I suspect in your case, a timeout is triggering too early, or some other event is erroneously hiding the window.
This workaround may be helpful. You can explicitly pop the documentation window from the View > Tool Windows > Documentation menu option. This will cause the tool window tab to appear on the right gutter by default. Right-clicking on the Documentation tab will pop up a menu that will allow you to pin the window, or dock it permanently in the UI by disabling "Floating Mode" and optionally moving it to the other side or the bottom.
When I first started using AS I really liked the edit layout feature. I like the way it shows you a preview on the right of the screen when you are editing the XML.
This seems to have disappeared - how do I turn it back on? It's not a show stopper, but it was a nice feature.
The previewer is way better than the clunky Eclipse one.
There should be a tab called "Preview" on the right side of the screen.
If you can't see this then click the little square on the bottom left of the screen and it will appear.
I need to create a magnifier like feature in my app. Like the "loupe" effect on the iphone !
The problem is that I need to do that inside a popup window and I don't get how to make it work !
The popup window display a grid of colors that I generate and draw one by one using shapeDrawables. What I want is to display that color bigger, zoom on it when the user touch and move his finger around the popup window (color grid). The idea is to create a tracking-zooming effect on the colors so the user can see more clearly under wich color his finger is currently located.
Problems are :
I can't seem to create another popup window on top of this one, Android limitation I think ?
If I modify the current shapeDrawable, resize it, change the boundaries, It needs to re-display the popup window before it takes effect (which is not acceptable of course)
So, anyone knows of a way I could draw over that popup window ?
EDIT :
I've tried solving this issue using a Custom Toast object...But it doesn't quite do the trick. It works, but toast object appears slowly and so the touch motion is not in sync at all with the user movement over the color grid.
I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but you might be able to accomplish this by using a second Activity... this second Activity would use Android's translucent theme if you include the following attribute in your manifest:
<activity android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent">
This second activity will now only contain what you place in your layout. That is... the "real" activity you're running will still be visible behind it (anywhere you don't cover it up with views in the new layout).
You also might prefer Theme.Dialog if you really want to resemble a popup.
Something to keep in mind if you take this approach is you will probably want to override onWindowFocusChanged() in the new activity, and finish() in the event of you losing focus. Additionally, you'll need to figure out how to share your data between the two activities.
