How can I enable the text/design Tab on the a src/main/res/layout folder on the activity_main.xml file that was created automatically during create new project? If i do right click and create xml file on the said folder, the design/text tab exist. Any suggestion? Thanks.
No Text/Design Tab on the Bottom Part of the Android Studio
Creating a new XML in the Res/Layout Folder, the design/text tab is now present.
Any help? this is super weird guys...
In Android Studio 3.6 use these three buttons (Code | Split | Design), on top right, to switch between views.
I had the same problem, restarting the IDE did make that tab appear again.
On Android Studio 3.6.1
Top Right corner under the main toolbar you have three different icons (Code, Split, Design).
View -> Tool windows -> Preview .
Output view:
use the three buttons (Code|Split|Design)on top right hand side to switch between views.
I also had this problem after upgrading to 1.5. None of the above suggestions worked for me. I noticed that the default relative layout xml has changed with a third xmlns line and an app behavior line. I opened an older project and copied the old relative layout header to replace the new. Instantly the preview function was restored.
You can also Move between Design / Text tabs in layout’s view with simple shortcut:
(Mac) : control + shift + ← / →
(Windows / Linux): alt + shift + ← / →
On the top right corner of the activity_main.xml file view, there are 3 icons representing "Code", "Split" and "Design". Click on the leftmost icon of the three ("Code") for the text tab.
In the android Studio window, at the left side there are two options available(Project and Resource Manager). Go to resource and there you will see an ADD Module option, click on that. After this you will see your text and design option will get enabled, you can go to your work area by Project Name->app ->src ->main->res ->layout.
Yes, Even I had the same problem. For the first time... I think It wont show, restarting the IDE did make that tab appear again.
I had this problem too, I deleted all the preference files, such as the AndroidStudioPreview folder & com.google.android.studio.plist, then restarted android studio, it worked.
You do not need to restart an IDE. All you need is to close an xml file that does not get a tab and reopen it within an editor. It is a little bug.
Navigate to activity_main.xml tab then Design and Text tab appears.
It doesn't appear in MainActivity.java tab.
You do not need to restart IDE.
If text/design tab is missing in new android studio, this can solve by two methods.
You have re-install android studio. And don't forget to delete android studio related all files from temp and local.
Or you can re-install SDK (software development kit) according to your device.
alt + enterfor importing was work normally maybe until I updated Android Studio,
my version now is2.3.3
as this screenshot, I can't press alt + enter at all, knowing that I have tested them on other programs and they are working normally
Use LEFT Alt Key + Enter. It works well in Android Studio 3.0.1.
I encountered the same problem today, this is how I solved it.
Go to File > Settings > Editor > General > Auto Import
Uncheck and Check Show Import Popup
Do Invalidate caches and Restart of Android Studio. (If this option doesn't work, restart your computer
Edit
Another solution I've found to work is to uninstall Android Studio and reinstall it.
Try "the Windows Key + Alt + Enter" if you are using windows.
It feels weird as I am pretty sure my keyboard works fine and android studio settings are alright, but I just see the pop-up suggestion for class import and nothing happens when I press Alt+Enter.
I work on Windows 10 and my Android SDK is on a different hard drive(E:) from the Android Studio installation(C:), not sure if these contribute to the problem.
After some trial and error I accidentally solved the problem by pressing "the Windows Key + Alt + Enter" to conjure the import class menu and could then press Enter again to properly import the suggested class.
In the Android studio Settings/Keymap "shortcut Ctrl+Alt+S"
search for usage of "Alt + Ent" as below image if its not assigned for any action plz go for No. 2
In the Android studio Settings/Editor/Intentions.
Check whatever you want to show Intention in are checked or not as below photo
Double check no.1 is working fine and you found usage of "Alt + Ent" shortcut
[You can find the solution on official Jet brains website]
Intellij IDEA keyboard shortcuts
Intention actions
I faced the same problem and was sure that the problem is in Android Studio. But when I reinstalled it I realized that it did not helped. So I decided to test my keyboard. I found that my left Alt is not working with Enter and right Alt somewhy is turning on Ctrl key. That is why Alt+Enter was not working in any combinations. Problem was solved by reinstalling keyboard driver. Hope it will helps somebody.
Go to File and Unchecked Power Save mode.
For Windows/Linux, you can go to File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Auto Import -> Java and make the following changes:
change Insert imports on paste value to All if ask or none to All
markAdd unambigious imports on the fly option as checked
On a Mac, do the same thing in Android Studio -> Preferences
If someone encounters this issue nowadays, for me it was the language change on the keyboard. I must have made some weird keyboard combination that changed the language, therefore ALT + ENTER was not really doing I was thinking it should do. Switching it back to ENG made it work correctly. Cheers.
in Android Studio 3.2.1, the Alt + Enter combination key is only used on the left side of the keyboard.
If you want to use the Alt to the right, it should be manually selected from the section
Settings> Keymap> other
Right-click on the row
show intention action
select add keyboard shortcut
Press Alt (Right) + Enter
I hope this helps
it was the problem with the latest version to...instead of pressing alt+enter. use ctr+o it will open a dialog box then select the method u want to implement and then click on ok button ..its works with all version of android studio.. { Happy coding ;) }
I thought I had the same issue and none of the above fixed the problem. I thought I was using Alt+Enter for Parameter info. Now I use Ctrl+p I get the parameter info for the widget. Not sure if this was changed from Alt+Enter to Ctrl+p but if looking in the File/Setting/Keymap it shows Ctrl+P.
I just ran into this and what worked is Alt+Insert combination
The first thing you have to check is did you put the code inside the onCreate function?
If not put it there and try again. the Alt+ Enter would work after that.
I encountered the same issue after I upgraded Ubuntu. Left Alt+Enter was working but more comfortable Right Alt+Enter did't. Resolved using this solution in AskUbuntu.
In case if you cannot open the link:
Open "Tweaks" (aka "Gnome Tweaks") go to "Keyboard & Mouse" -> "Additional Layout Options" -> "Key to choose the 3rd level" and put a check mark on "Right Alt never chooses 3rd level".
I faced the same problem. Then I found that I was typing the
public void functionName (View view) outside the class. Hence alt + enter did not work.
After I moved the function inside the class, alt + enter worked.
This is a silly mistake though.
In my case (v4.0.0) there was a plugin (CSV Plugin) blocking the shortcut alt + enter.
Generally speaking, my suggestion is to try deactivating all the plugins and see if then it works.
I just pressed alt + f4 to exit and pressed cancel just to check if alt key was working. Fortunately after that everything was working fine.
Go to 1)setting > 2)intensions > 3)checkmark (Dart) and it will work normally without any problem.
The filters are on the devices tab. But isn't this supposed to be in logcat?
How do you reset them back?
There is a way to make it appear.
Just click the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS.
But it may will miss again in some case... I guess whether it's a bug of AS.
This bug is still existing in Android Studio 3.5 the lastest stable version, I got it just now(08/26/2019 3:13PM).
Had this problem on Android Studio 3.2 Beta 4 (Windows 64-bit). Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off again made the filters reappear. Bit faster than exiting Android Studio if you're lucky enough.
Had the same problem.
Exit and restart Android Studio and it should be fixed.
Interestingly, the first time I tried to re-open Android Studio I got a crash. But the second time it worked fine. Perhaps there's a bug somewhere.
See This Image Here, Bottom of android studio left side corner click the rectangle icon.
Restart Android Studio didn't help me, nor toggling floating mode, but clicking the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS did the trick!
I fixed this by setting viewmode for logcat to a separate window and the switching view mode back to "Dock Pinned". Right click on the top bar of and you will see view mode option. It will essentially reset logcat.
I fixed by changing its location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Left Top : The logcat reappeared. After that, change it to the previous location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Bottom Left
I had the same problem.
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart solved the problem.
Bug still occurs in Android Studio 3.5
Build #AI-191.8026.42.35.5791312. What worked for me is clicking the Event Log then it shows.
I faced the same problem in Android Studio 3.3 and by Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off, the filters appeared.Hope it will help in your case also.
Just right click on the title bar of it and switch to windowed mode then go back to your mode...
Still having the problem with AS 3.5 which is awful! Fixing it every time by switching logcat window view mode from dock pinned to float and changing it back to dock pinned again.
Opened an issue here for the team to fix it. Consider starring it to get more attention, or sharing your own experience to help find the culprit.
I resolved this issue by selecting 'split mode' from the setting option of the top right corner of LogCat section of Android Studio
Happy Android Coding!
Hope this will save anyone's time!
Simple
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidade and Restart
I had the same problem. It didn't ever happened before on my PC, but now I'm using Mac and many bad things happens.
I tried to fix it by the above solutions, but nothing worked for me. What eventually did work was double clicking the toolbar (to maximize tool window).
I tired closing and reopening Android Studio and even restarting my mac and nothing worked. Instead of closing Android Studio I did invalidate cache and restart under the tab file in Android Studio and everything seems to be fixed now
I fixed in Mac by double clicking toolbar window to maximize as comments above.
I tried restarting a couple of times but that did not bring the filter menu in Logcat tab. However, in my case, it was also showing a pop-up notification to update the IDE. I updated it and got the filter option back.
I synced the files and then restarted the computer.
In my case
On your android studio press ALT+6
Go to Setting Right Top, just Click Show Tool
In your android studio settings, go to Experimental and unvalidate the "Enable new logcat" and restart your android studio, it will work.
I installed android studio.. it was working fine. Now all the sudden, none of the auto complete features are working.. I can type anything anywhere no variable checking, no help with functions or checking anything. I can still compile the project and I get errors when that happens.
Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
#1 From Build menu (of your Android Studio), click Rebuild Project option.
#2 Then once rebuild completes, go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... and Click on Invalidate an Restart button.
This really works for me.

#1 Rebuild is required, because Android-Studio does simply rely solely on Gradle's build-result (without static-analysis support, at least at time of writing, 2022).
#2 Clearing cache is required, because the previous build-result (before above rebuild) may be indexed, which makes Android Studio ignore latest Gradle build-result
(this is a very good speed optimization, but a very bad Developer-experience as well).
There can sometimes be other reasons too, which is why there are many other answers posted here.
You can also check if Power Save Mode on File menu is disabled.
Close Android Studio
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.android and rename the folder:
build-cache to build-cache_old
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (for Android studio 4 and Higher) go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old
Open Android Studio and open your project again.
Originally use:
compileSdkVersion 32
targetSdkVersion 32
And an update to 33 appeared, I updated it and the suggestions in the XML no longer appeared, I went back to 32 and now the suggestions appeared.
Close Android Studio
Go to c_users_path_on_windows/.AndroidStudio3.5/system/
Delete the cache folder
Start Android Studio
This works for me.
Most of the times i have seen that the problem is that Power Save Mode is enabled, to disable go to Current inspection profile (lower right corner in Android Studio).
I have not run into this problem personally, but try checking the following settings (File -> Settings or Alt+F7):
Project Settings [name]
Inspections - ensure that Android and Android Lint is checked, or alternately just set it back to default using the dropdown box at the top.
IDE Settings
Editor -> Code Completion - ensure the Autopopup code completion is checked (and check the rest of the settings based on your preference.
Uncheck "Power Save Mode" in "File" tab
If nothing works (like happened with me ) go to your user profile in windows at %userprofile% . You will find folders there (hidden) named with the version of the android studio you are using and prefixed with a dot.
like .AndroidStudio3.1. Just delete that .
Solution: Try disabling "File -> Power Save Mode" in Android Studio (Beta) 0.8.14 - Mac OS X
On windows, the option can be at some other place.
I had the same problem then I recalled that while exploring the new android studio, I switched on the "File -> Power Save Mode" to see what it does?
I disabled the power save mode and all those intelligent features were back.
It turned out that in Power Save Mode, Android Studio switches off the modules responsible for features like Smart Code Completion and Code Analysis.
I had a similar problem where none of the other solutions worked.
Closing Android Studio and then deleting the .idea and build folders resolved the issue.
Disable Power Save Mode and Invalidate Cache and Restart.
For Artic Fox 2020|3.1 Version: Auto Complete Suggestion Problem.
Please Follow the Following Steps:
Close Android Studio
Locate caches folder in C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3
and Delete it.
Open Android Studio Again.
Check your Android studio version and Target that version folder at below location
C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google
Note : AppData folder is Hidden in Windows
This Solution also works if android studio mess up with xml files and java code. Don't! modify your code otherwise IDE won't able to change it to default. If you see such messy code just follow above steps and your code will be fine again.
It's Working
Disable Power Save Mode
Untick Power Save Mode Option ::
File -> Power Save Mode
There is a power saver mode in android studio if accidentally you click on that it will disable code analysis which will reduce the battery consumption and performance will also increase but it will not detect any errors and do auto complete operations.
To disable power saver mode
- Go to File Menu of Studio
- Uncheck The Power Saver Mode
In your IDE code analysis will be shown using an eye symbol at the right corner of your android studio.
If Green means it is enabled and there is no error in your code.
If Red Means It is enabled but there are few errors in your code.
If It is white or blur then code analysis is disabled
Just remove all the folders named AndroidStudioPreview
On Windows:
Go to your User Folder - on Windows 7/8 this would be:
[SYSDRIVE]:\Users[your username] (ex. C:\Users\JohnDoe)
In this folder there should be a folder called .AndroidStudioPreview
On Mac OS X
Remove these files:
~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview
There can be several things which cause this.
Make sure you've write the correct version in targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion.
Make sure targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion are same.
Other solutions can be:
Invalidate caches & restart Android Studio from File → Invalidate Caches / Restarts...
Clean your project from Build → Clean Project
Rebuild project from Build → Rebuild Project
Make project from Build → Make Project [this process may take some time]
Be sure to check for IDE errors by clicking the button at the bottom right of android studio.
In my case, there was a bad plugin, and the IDE Fatal Errors window prompted me to uninstall the plugin. (I wish I'd known about this feature before spending half a day invalidating caches, deleting folders, and reinstalling android studio with no luck.)
It worked for me.
From menu select:
File -> Power Save Mode
and make sure it's disabled
Go TO Left Side Top File Option
Then Click To Power Save Mode
Disable Power Save Mode That Fix This Issue
In my case, when I switch keyboard language to English, the auto complete works again.
if the autocomplete isn't working for you in Android Studio, just press File and uncheck the Power save mode, it should work fine after that.
if power save mode is already unchecked then first check then uncheck them.
If you have a library project included, make sure the library has the dependencies in build.gradle listed using the api configuration, not the implementation configuration.
Also make sure that the project that includes the library has all the dependencies listed (using the implementation configuration is fine here).
'The file size (2561270 bytes) exceeds configured limit (2560000 bytes). Code insight features are not available.'
Had this issue for days with none of these proposed solutions working before eventually getting this message in yellow under the tabs after adding a line of code. Removing the line of code eliminated the message but not the issue. There appears to be a code size window where you lose insight features but don't get this message, at least for me. Once you go over a certain point the message finally pops up. The suggested solution in a different thread for this issue was to edit 'Help/Edit Custom Properties' to increase the configured limit, but just opening this brought up a dialogue asking if I wanted to create an 'idea.properties' folder so I decided not to risk that approach over eventually cutting the file size.
If sometimes this problem can occur if you misspelled a file extension or make a file without adding an extension.
Check you have added the file extension correctly.
I think that answer may help you.
I'm using mac and suddenly the code completion (^space) not working. There are no errors. Turned out the android studio's shortcut was conflicted with system's shortcut. I don't know why it suddenly happen because it was fine before, maybe there was an update on my Mac.
See below setting for the conflicting shortcut
In my case, C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3\ just delete caches folder and restart android studio. after deleting this caches folder my problem was solved :)
I encounter with this problem while adding a kotlin library into my project on mac. Changing macbook language to english solved this problem. I also had some weird problems with auto-generated databinding codes, those are also solved.
Try Invalidate caches/Restart from File in Menu Bar from android studio.
Close Android Studio
Go to
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.android
and rename the following folder to:
build-cache to build-cache_old
then Go to (Android studio lower then version 4)
C:\Users\UserName.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (Android studio 4 and Higher) Go to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
or
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2021.2
depending on your version and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old (if exists)
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old (if exists)
Open Android Studio again and the autosuggsion will be fixed.
and You can also check if Power Save Mode is disabled or not from the File menu.
I recently updated my Eclipse to the latest release 3.5 and since then I have a very annoying problem with c&p using the shortcuts.
In an editor (xml, jsp, doesn't matter which one) I try to copy something and paste it somewhere else, nothing happens. When I cut out something and put it somewhere else I sometimes get something else (like a messed up part of my previous selection) or just some whitespaces. This gets even worse when I change lines in between.
First I thought that my keyboard is probably broken but it works just fine in other programs. Then I tried using the context menus' c&p and there it works. Yesterday I managed to get at least an error message when I tried to copy a file in the navigator from one project to another (the message was just "error using copy...bla". no details).
Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
I am running on Kubuntu 9.04, and have quite some plugins installed (but only from the Galileo Updates Site), like Birt, Mylin, WST, or Subversive.
For my problem, I had to go to Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing, and uncheck "Update imports"
This must be related to the key mapping, since those shortcuts are defined according to context.
(Column "When", in Preferences / General / Keys)
Check if those shortcuts do not work for any editor (do they work for Java editor?)
If they work for some editor, not for other, then some plugin settings must have re-affected them to another command.
This is caused by various X clipboard managers doing weird things with the clipboard. (bug report).
In XFCE the clipman applet was rolled in XFCE 4.8, and will be the source of these problems.
To fix this in XFCE - kill xfce4-settings-helper. You will need to use Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session to kill it, as otherwise it may restart automatically.
To prevent this starting next time, you will need to remove it from your startup/login programs in Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.
Problem was solved with newer Eclipse releases. I think >= 3.6. Depending on your distribution there may be a (back)port of this (not on my Xubuntu 11.04) within the repositories.
So a tarball installation of Eclipse 4.0 works perfectly for me. Cut&Paste works and I am lucky that my plugins are compatible to 4.0.
Unfortunately Sublime Text has the same problems.
I read somewhere that in KDE maybe Klipper / "Klipper on the panel" conflicts with eclipse copy action.
It's a tool for clipboard history. Try to remove that! It may solve your problem :-/
For me the xfce4-settings-helper killing worked.
Workaround:
You can cut&paste from the compare view. So simply compare the un-copyable file (e.g., local history) with a different version and Control-C what you need there.
In the *.java editor page, right click and select open in text editor. Past your snippet there. Your Snippet will show in the *.java page'
I use Eclipse Kepler for PHP development. It's dumb I know.
None of the solutions suggested here has solved this source of frustration.
I can confirm the copy function works whether shortcut keys are bound or not. As I can copy from eclipse and paste into any other application. Except eclipse.
My solution. Accidental discovery: Eclipse Kepler will allow you to paste outside the php open and close tags and allow you to click and drag the highlighted block of content into into position.
Acceptable solution for small bits of code. Horribly crippling for larger development environments.
For Xming, this resolved the problem for me. In XLaunch uncheck Clipboard (clipboard manager) in the "Specify parameter settings" GUI form.
