I am sort of lost on where to find the Tools Menu in Android Studio.
According to this link https://developer.android.com/studio/run/managing-avds.html, I do not have to run an Android Studio project in order to launch the AVD Manager.
Currently, I am on Android Studio Version 3.0 Beta 6.
I would like some guidance on where the Tools Menu is located in which the link above mentions. Pictures would really help and are much appreciated.
While you do not have to run a project to access the AVD manager, you cannot access it in the welcome screen. You must first create or open a project and then you should be able to find what the link is referring to.

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
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.
Recenty I installed Android Studio on my laptop running Ubuntu 16.04.
When I created a new project and used Android Studio, this annoying popup kept showing: (Because my low reputation, I cannot post images, please click the link below)

I tried to check the checkbox but it still display everytime I click on anywhere in Android Studio.
Help me, thanks in advance.
Try to use this for creating a desktop entry: desktop-file-install THE_DESKTOP_FILENAME_HERE.desktop
It might be the solution (if error it's because it localized the fileB, if ok it will copy to the correct localization /usr/share/applications) Restart then
After trying many times, I decided to reinstall Android Studio and the error disappeared! I don't know the reason clearly but maybe using Create Desktop Entry in Android Studio and creating a .desktop file manually (after installing Android Studio, I wanted to add Android Studio icon to launcher) caused conflicts.
goto settings in android studio
keymap-> main menu-> tools-> create desk entry
right-click on "create desktop entry"
you will get an option to turn off it.
I have recently updated Android Studio from 2.2.3 to 2.3. Now can't see the option "Launch Standalone SDK Manager", which is useful to check for updates, google play services, etc.
It is a deprecated feature: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=235625 There is an option in Android Studio to "Show Package Details".
For manual SDK and AVD management, please use Android Studio.
For command-line tools, use tools/bin/sdkmanager and tools/bin/avdmanager
See also: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/5x6adh/android_studio_23_is_now_available_in_the_stable/deg48lj/
Even I had this issue when I updated to Android Studio 2.3
Click on Configure on the bottom left side
Select the Check Box to Show Package Details on the bottom left side
Move between the different tabs as per your requirements.
Can't working on Android Studio 2.3.3
On Mac :
/Users/YourAccount/Library/Android/sdk/tools
click android, you'll see standalone SDK manager
On Windows :
C:\Productivity\android-sdks\tools
double click on android.bat, standalone SDK Manger will be launched (see image below).
As the standalone sdk manager has been deprecated in favor of studio builtin sdk manager, there's a workaround to get back the standalone sdk manager.
Step1.
Download command line sdk tools for your platform:
http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r24-windows.exe
http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24-windows.zip
the links refer to an old distribution intentionally (see note below).
Step2.
Copy the SDK Manager.exe, tools/android.bat and tools/lib/archquery.jar into your existing sdk to which android studio is currently being pointed.
Step3.
Run SDK Manager or tools/android.bat and you will get back your beloved standalone sdk manager while having latest android studio > 2.3
Note
if you download latest command line tools for sdk, you wont be able to find the archquery.jar which is required to run the standalone sdk utility.
In this latest version (2.3.1 and 2.3.1+), after some digging, I found a faster way to open AVD and SDK: In the welcome interface of Android Studio, after pressing CTRL+SHIFT+A, a search box will jump out, then you can input "AVD", the AVD manager will come out. To open SDK is the same way.
However, AVD does not work in the welcome interface but SDK works. If you want to use CTRL+SHIFT+A to quickly open AVD you must create a new project and open AVD in the project interface.
If you are a Xamarin user, you can install the Xamarin Android SDK Manager, available on the Visual Studio Marketplace which will give you an interface like this:
NOTE: The Xamarin SDK manager has to be accessed from visual studio, but it will (should) work on both windows and mac
You can open it from your SDK path which in my case is
C:\Users\Akshay\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Double click on SDK Manager.exe and it will open standalone SDK manager, refer attached Screenshot.
I am currently using some libraries (e.b. material design lib) to create apps.
I want to set the minimum SDK to 5.0, but it cannot be done because the version of that library is higher.
My question is how can I know the list of installed/non-installed dependencies(e.g. com.android.support:design) provided by Google in android studio(like SDK manager) or not?
Honestly, I was using the Eclipse IDE for developing android apps, and now I switch to Android Studio. It is difficult to me to use Android Studio. Is there any resources to learn more detailed about the usage of Android Studio?

At first make sure in the left panel Project is selected.
Then right-click on your appropriate project name and select Open Module Settings
There you will see the Dependencies tab that you were searching for. There you will explore the options to add or remove dependencies or shifting them up or down in the easiest way. Hope you will find Android Studio more interesting then Eclipse gradually.

The official android developer site of Google is well enough to learn Android Studio in details. Everything is there. Still you can also go for tutorialspoint tutorial about Android Studio.
