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?

There used to be a "Tasks" tool window in Android Studio where I keep and manage the tasks I'm working on. It used to be accessible on the right side, next to "Gradle" and "Device Manager", but it seems to be missing from Android Studio Electric Eel 2022.1.1, after an update.
Is there a way to bring this tool window back?
Update: I've just realized that this is not a built-in tool window, as I initially thought, but a plugin installed from here: https://github.com/NLSurfMan/tasks - this probably makes it a bug in the plugin's code that causes incompatibility with the Electric Eel version. I should report it on its Github.
I have been using Android Studio for years. Very shortly after upgrading to Android Studio 3.5, the menu options have stopped working. I mean, anything under File, Edit .. all the way to Help. By "stopped working", I mean, I can use the mouse to select, and then .. nothing happens. A colleague suggested to invalidate caches. But invalidate caches itself is under the File menu, so nothing happens when it is selected.
Any ideas? Quitting and starting android studio didn't work. Rebooting didn't work. Changing the java version used to run Android Studio didn't work (it is set to be the same one that gradle is using). Even downloading and installing a fresh copy of Android Studio 3.5 didn't work -> from this, I suspect the problem is a settings problem, but WHICH settings got somehow corrupted? and that survives even with a fresh installation of Android Studio?
To find-in-path, the menu option doesn't work, whereas I can directly use the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘F and it brings up the find window.
Am running on MacOS Mojave. Java home is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_221.jdk/Contents/Home
Finally, Android Studio 4.0 came along, and we installed the patch to upgrade to it, and the mysterious problem went away, presumably as a result of the upgrade.
Greetings.
I am learning java and android development for last two days. I am using android studio version 3.1.3
the welcome screen interface and open project screen that i used yesterday was different.
Today i am seeing a new screen and new way of opening android project.
below are the screen shots.
when i click on create new project the below screen appears
please guide me through this.
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.
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
Any ideas?
Here is the solution Android Studio does not show layout preview
I had the same issue with AS 3.0 canary 5
Older versions of Android Studio had a Refresh option in the layout preview in the IDE, but in v2.2 it has vanished. I am finding repeatedly that I update drawable bitmaps in the project with updated files, that new version is not reflected automatically, and I do not see the preview. Problems like this are so common with Android Studio, it's such an utterly infuriating IDE and so flaky, despite the speed it is advancing.
Where did the refresh option go? I can't believe I'm having to actually ask this, but maybe I missed it somewhere obvious!
