On Android Studio 4.0 I was able to to navigate to in the place of (Ctrl+B) go to Declaration,
How can I assign Center Will for the ShortCut( Ctrl +B ) so I can use the center wheel instead of keyboard, I appreciate your help
In Android studio, Go to File -> Settings -> Keymap
You can search for declaration. You will find shortcut available mapped to Ctrl+B. If mouse shortcut is not added, right click and add a mouse shortcut. Hope it works.
The top action bar in android studio (android studio itself, where i select file, build.. etc) is hidden, how can i show it again ?
I tried to edit everything in settings but nothing worked.
I'm using Android Studio 4.1. Following steps fixed it for me :
Press CTRL + ALT + S. This will open settings window.
Go to Appearance and Behavior > Menus and Toolbars
Click on restore button (looks like a undo button)
Choose Restore Main menu
Then click apply button.
I am running Linux Mint and are creating flutter apps. Once in a while when I change my workspace (CTRL + ALT + Left/Right) away from my android emulator then this weird tracer starts appearing and I can't get rid of it without closing everything on the emulator. The tracer follows my cursor and reacts to right click etc.
Has anyone any idea what this is?
Update
I just noticed that they are representing two fingers. How to get rid of it though?
It's a bug I think. It should only appear when you press CTRL button and disappears as soon as you release the CTRL button. To get rid of this press the zoom button once.
How can you select or copy the error tooltips that appear when hovering over code in Android Studio?
For example:
Is there a key command? I'm on Mac if that's relevant.
Thanks!
On Windows: try,
Hover over the yellow popup text
Alt+LeftMouseClick
The 'yellow text' should now be on your clipboard, ready to paste.
That is it!
The older solutions don't seem to be working for me. Not sure if the behavior changed, but here is what is working for me on a Mac with Android Studio 3.4:
press control + option simultaneously
hover over the text that has an error
click on the tooltip when it pops up.
On Mac, a slightly different dance than Windows.
hold shift
click and hold towards the end of the text(probably missing last character)
keep holding mouse click and release shift
while holding mouse click, press Command + C to copy
paste wherever
Ubuntu:
When you make the popup shows up, hold Alt+Shift and carefully select any amount of the text and press Ctrl+C.
You don't need to select all of the text, because it will always copy the whole message ignoring the selection.
Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and Android Studio 3.5.2.
Once popup shows up, move your mouse pointer over it and simply select (mark) bubble's text, then do Copy with keyboard shortcut (CTRL+C on Windows or Command+C on Mac) while still having mouse pointer over the bubble.
Not sure how on Mac, but on Windows it works that way for me, with the exception that you need to keep mouse pointer over the bubble all the time otherwise it is gone (which sometimes forces me to copy all but last character from that message).
On Ubuntu, try
Hover on the error or warning popup text
Maintain CTRL to keep it displayed
Use the cursor to select the text
I need to add an image to the res/drawable folder...
When I choose new > Image Asset, it comes out a dialog to choose Asset Type...
How can I add an image to res/drawable folder?
For Android Studio 1.5:
Right click on res -> new -> Image Asset
On Asset type choose Action Bar and Tab Icons
Choose the image path
Give your image a name in Resource name
Next->Finish
Update for Android Studio 2.2:
Right click on res -> new -> Image Asset
On Icon Type choose Action Bar and Tab Icons
On Asset type choose Image
On Path choose your image path
Next->Finish
The image will be saved in the /res/drawable folder.
Warning!
If you choose to use images other than icons in SVG or PNG be aware that it could turn grey if the image is not transparent. You can find an answer in comments for this problem but none of these are verified by me because I never encountered this problem. I suggest you to use icons from here: Material icons
For Android Studio 3.4+:
You can use the new Resource Manager tab
Click on the + sign and select Import Drawables.
From here, you can select multiple folders/files and it will handle everything for you.
The result will look something like this:
Click the import button and the images will be automatically imported to the correct folder.
Copy *.png image and paste to drawable folder.
After adding the image, you can use the added image asset in code:
You can either add image by using xml file
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/image_name" />
OR You can set image by using program:
ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(v);
iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.image_name);
Do it through the way Android Studio provided to you
Right click on the res folder and add your image as Image Assets in this way.
Android studio will automatically generate image assets with different resolutions.
You can directly create the folder and drag image inside but you won't have the different sized icons if you do that.
For Example, I've to add list.png in drawable folder..
And now I'll paste it in drawable folder. Alternatively you can do it Ctrl + C/V, as we programmers do it. :)
It's very simple. Just copy your image and paste it in the drawable folder.
One more thing. When you paste an image in the drawable folder, a popup window will appear asking for a folder name. Add xxhdpi,xhdpi,hdpi or mdpi according to your image, like in the image below:
If you are still having problems, check out this link:
Drawable folder in android studio
You can just copy and paste an image file(.jpg at least) into your res/drawable. It worked for me!
Open your project in Android Studio
Click on res
Right click on drawable
Click on Show in Explorer
Double click on drawable folder.
Copy your image file in it and rename as your wish.
Now write your image file name after #drawable/ .
It will show the image you've selected.
Install and use the Android Drawable Importer plugin:
https://github.com/winterDroid/android-drawable-importer-intellij-plugin
Instructions on how to install the plugin are on that page. It's called "Android Drawable Importer" in the plugin search results.
Once installed:
right click on "res" folder and select New -> Batch Drawable Import
hit the + and select your source image
choose what resolution you want it considered and which other sizes to auto-generate for
Seems kind of ridiculous that Android Studio doesn't support this directly.
EDIT: But Xcode doesn't either so.... :-(
You need to use a third party plugin like AndroidIcons Drawable Import
to install this.
Goto
Android Studio > Prefrences > Plugins > and browse for AndroidIcons Drawable
You can do things like
AndroidIcons Drawable Import
Material Icons Drawable Import
Scaled Drawable
Multisource-Drawable
Restart android studio. If you do not have the drawables folder created, create it by importing any image as -"Action Bar and Tab Icons" & "Notification Icons",. Then right clink on the file explorer and you can see 4 options in the new tab. Use any one according to your need.
Android Studio 3.0:
1) Right click directory 'drawable'.
2) Click on: Show in Explorer
Now you have an explorer opent with a few directories in it, one of then is 'drawable'.
3) Go in the directory 'drawable'.
4) Place the image you want in there.
5) Close the explorer again.
Now the image is in Android Studio under 'res/drawable'.
Simplest way is to just drag and drop the image into the drawable folder. The important thing to keep in mind if you are using Android Studio 2.2.x version make sure you are in PROJECT VIEW else it will not allow to drag and drop the image.

Android Studio 3.2
Blazingly fast :P
Just Copy and Paste in this folder
My way of exporting/importing image assets. I use Sketch design.
Step 1. Sketch: export using Android preset
Step 2. Finder: Go to the export folder > Cmd+C
Step 3. Finder: Go to your project's /res folder > Cmd+V > Apply to all > Merge
OK, the images are in your project now.
Its quite simple
1) just copy your images and paste in drawable folder.
2) when you paste image(for eg"mdpi) in drawable folder a popup window will appear asking folder name add -mdpi .
3)Do it for all(hdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi).
I just added one link that you can check out if have any doubt.

In Android Studio, you can go through following steps to add an image to drawable folder:
Right click on drawable folder
Select Show on Explorer
Paste image you want to add
Just copy your images and select drawable then on the option of Paste or press shortcut ctrl v. images are added
go to
https://hotpot.ai/icon-resizer
and resize your stock png(!) image to a batch as zip.
Put e.g. _ before their names ( otherwise it seems wont be accepted by A S (who knows why) )
Then go to AS's Resource Manager on the left panel and then hit + on its top-left and import images you've gotten one-by-one.
Dont use unofficial plug-ins.
Example without any XML
Put your image image_name.jpg into res/drawable/image_name.jpg and use:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class Main extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image_name);
setContentView(imageView);
}
}
Tested on Android 22.
Copy the image then paste it to drawables in the resource folder of you project in android studio.Make sure the name of your image is not too long and does not have any spacial characters.Then click SRC(source) under properties and look for your image click on it then it will automatically get imported to you image view on you emulator.
Adding images to the drawable folder is pretty simple.
Just follow these steps:
Download the required image and save it on desktop.
Now, go to Android Studio and right click on drawable inside res.
On right clicking you will see 'Show in Explorer' or 'Reveal in Finder'.
Click on 'Show in Explorer' or 'Reveal in Finder' and then drag or simply copy your downloaded image into drawable folder.
Your image will be saved inside drawable and you can use it.

In Android Studio
Select Drawable folder, do Ctrl N Screenshot
Select Image asset
Select Action Bar & Tab icons in asset type
