Till last time when I used Android Studio a few hours ago, I had a sidebar of controls like 'Clear' and 'Terminate Application' etc. Like this side bar in the Run perspective.
I was using the control to easily terminate applications. But now it's gone, and I don't know how to terminate my applications.
So what should I do to get it back? Is there another easy way to terminate apps?
Addendum: I have seen this question, but I don't know how to find that DDMS perspective. And where are my controls from the Logcat gone?
Came here looking for answer but figure out one myself,in case anyone needs it anyway:
Right click the Android tab (where it says Android above the Emulator/Device name), when the menu pops select 'Show toolbar' .
Android Studio layout has changed since 2015, so for today (Android Studio 4.2.2):
The context menu popup of the Logcat tab (accessible through the little gear icon on the top right of the tab) has the option "show toolbar".
This will bring back toolbar on the left side of Logcat. Hope that info will help someone someday :)

As you can see in the image below, every time I open a project in Android Studio, the layout decorations option is deselected. How can I have it selected for default?
look on the top left of constraintLayout that you currently open, click on the eye icon and then click Show Layout Decorations. then you will be able to see it. but i don't know how to access it.
I think is not possible. I never see about that the solution
OK this is really stupid. I have no idea what happened to the debug watch frame in Android Studio. I have 1.5.1 of Studio.
Is there some secret knowledge from intellij to show it.
Here's the icon that #jamesldurham referred to:
Thanks James! I think it would have taken me a long time to find that :/
Ok I with some help there is a button debug menu that looks like a desaturated American flag that when pressed brings it back.
The tool tip will show restore layout.
If you don't want to restore the entire debug layout, the below image is pointing to the "restore watches view" button. It is in the upper right corner of the debug console and looks like a pair of green shaded glasses over a window.
The button to its left restrores the "Threads" view, and to the right restores the "Variables" view.
Unlike previous IDEs the Watch panel is now totally integrated into the Variables panel
And there is no watch the variable option neither in the popup when right clicking on a variable.
The only option is to select the varaible that needs to be watched and drag and drop it onto the Variables panel.
Check that you have the Frames tab selected instead of Development, in the left bottom section.
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.
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.
Has the browser window been removed from the latest version of Xcode? I've seen this window in an iOS class I watched online and again in a book I have. I can't find anything in the View menu to turn it on.
I'm running Lion and the latest version of Xcode. I created a new project with Core Data turned on and then built it. I then clicked on .xcdatamodeld file and I get a graphic window with the default table in it.
Do you mean the project browser on the left? You enable that using the 'view' buttons on the right side of the toolbar.
The toolbar might be hidden though, so go to the view menu and select "Show toolbar" if needed.
Then select the fourth button from the right on the toolbar, it is the first button in the set of view buttons. This shows the Navigator View on the left of your screen, which has 7 selectors on the top. The leftmost will give you the project browser (project navigator), the one next to it is the symbol navigator.
I hate to be answering my own question again. I like to keep my answer rate at 100%. Since I didn't get a response here, I tried the Apple developer forums. It turn out the Xcode 4.* changed the interface and this series of windows no longer exist. The same functions can be found in other locations.
