Close white cursor in Android Studio - android-studio

In Android Studio, my cursor is white rectangle. I'm cannot write anything. And changed my keyboard button actions.
h-->left arrow j-->down arrow k--> up arrow l-->right arrow
How can I fix problem or can I reset Android Studio settings?

Just got the same problem as yours. And this is the solution:
Go to File > Settings > Editor > General > Appearance, then uncheck the Use block caret

Try fn + ins. That worked for me.

Go to settings and plugins and just disable the IdeaVim plugin it works in 2020.itx also occurs due to this extension.

In windows, win+insert worked for me.

Presse Fn+0. It will work instantly.

go to plugins and disable IdeaVim then restart android studio it will be ok ...

Press Fn + Del on your keyboard together.
Explanation: Its because Delete key on keyboard has Insert function. So pressing Del along with Fn key will enable Insert mode within your editor from Overwrite mode as in your case.

It's ins in the latest version of Android Studio.

In windows if you press INSERT key cursor mode will get change,use WINDOWS + INSERT to get back into normal mode

For mac users just right click and deselect "Column selection mode" or press Shift + Command + 8

Just restart Android Studio and voilĂ  !
None of the other solutions worked for me (Windows 7, maybe with an inactive Lock Num key).

How to turn off Android Studio's mutli-line editing?

Sometimes I unknowingly switch on something that could be called multi-line editing in Android Studio.
Is that a feature or a bug?
How so I switch it off? I always restart Android Studio to get out of that mode.
Finally found the key stroke as I accidentally hit it:
On Mac: Cmd + Shift + 8

Is there any keyboard shortcut for Gradle Sync Now in Android Studio?

Anyone know if there is any short key for App Level Gradle Syncing in Android Studio?
You can configure the shortcut from Preferences -> Keymap as shown in below screenshot:
Also you can press Alt + Enter, then pop up will appear with option to sync.
Just hit enter again and it will sync.
I know is not like real shortcut, because you need to hit enter twice.
But still faster than using mouse.
What you can see after press Alt + Enter

Shortcut alt+enter is not working in Android Studio

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.

Shortcut to close a opened tab in android studio

What is the shortcut to close the opened tab in android studio?
I'm new to the android studio. I tried with CTRL+W. It's not working. I searched for a while. But I haven't get it. Any one please provide me the shortcut to close the opened tab.
You can try pressing CTRL+F4 in order to close opened tabs in Android Studio
As mentioned above, type CTRL + ALT + S to get into settings and in the keymap dialog search for Close, but the thing you want to reassign is
Close Active Editor
For Mac it is not set by default. Here is how I did it.
Android Studio 4.1 > Preferences > Keymap search for Close Active Editor right click > Add Keyboard Shortcut. Then assign anything you want. Alt+W is a good one.
If you right click on a tab header, the context menu shows you the current key binding next to the word Close (by default Ctrl+F4).
Follow the steps mentioned in other comments (type CTRL + ALT + S to get into settings and in the keymap dialog search for Close) and what you actually need to change is [editor tabs] / [close]
(android studio 3.6.1)
On a Mac, it's command + F4.
If you're like me, you may have to do command + fn + F4

Strange key mapping in Android Studio

I am new to Android studio, it seems to be great IDE. But I have found that it has really strange key and shortcut mapping. I am using Czech keyboard.
When I try to type ">" by pressing Right ALT + . the symbol is not appearing, and I got message box that says "Go to custom Region. There are no custom foldings regions in the current file."
It is really strange behaviour, I have problem with writing many more characters like brackets,..... I tried to set keymap profiles to Visual Studio and more. But nothing seems to work. I didn't have any of these problems in any other IDE (Netbeans, Eclipse, Visual Studio, Xamarin)
Add this line:
actionSystem.force.alt.gr=true
to this file:
...\Android\android-studio\bin\idea.properties
As written here:
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-91975
Yes, well... its problem with "old" keyboards. Newer keyboards don't have Alt Gr keys and IDE doesn't count on this in default.
Solutions:
Buy a new keyboard with no Alt Gr on it (using right Alt instead of Alt Gr is working for me)
Go to File -> Settings -> Keymap and search for implementation - delete Ctrl + Alt + B, hit "Apply" and you can now use this shortcut for "{"
As already mentioned below... add following line to ..\<Android Studio folder>\bin\idea.properties:
actionSystem.force.alt.gr=true
(update) Since newer version of AS (not sure which one, should be 2.3.3+), you don't need to manually access the properties file. Go to Help -> Edit Custom Properties and add actionSystem.force.alt.gr=true there.
Go to Preferences -> Keymap and choose Mac OS X as Keymaps.
I have been a long time Visual Studio user, so wanted to leverage all the keyboard shortcuts that I had picked up using Visual Studio.
On Android Studio, I first changed the Keymap to be Visual Studio. You can do this by using Alt+F7 on Windows and then search for Keymap.
By using the Visual Studio Keymap in Android studio, I got only debug related mapping, which was still a minority of what I use in Visual Studio.
So went ahead and added/modified some more mappings.
Here is the github link
https://github.com/vinayakg/VisualStudioKeymapforAndroidStudio/blob/master/settings.jar.
PR's welcome.
As for '>' sign (AltGr + .) and Android Studio 1.0.1, go to File>Settings, choose Keymap in IDE Settings section, search for "GotoCustomRegion" item (it is located in MainMenu-Navigate) and remove its mapping (via context menu).
If you're using macOS newest versions and have had weird behavior with the shortcuts, try this:
Go to Android Studio -> Preferences -> Keymap
Now change from "Mac OS X" to "Mac OS X 10.5+" and hit apply.
