I'm using Android Studio 1.0.2 and Gimp as external editor for the images.
When I want to modify an image, I select it, click on "Jump to external editor", apply changes, save it, go back to Android Studio and... close/open project to refresh the changes.
Is there a shortcut for this ? I cannot find any "refresh preview".
Even if I recompile, start the app, close/reopen the preview, I cannot see the changes on the preview (only on the execute app).
Well, it's really easy, indeed... didn't notice the button.
In the preview panel, upper right corner (on the right of the + and - buttons), there's a refresh button.

I brought an app source code from (CodeCanyon) and i want to change the side navigation drawer icon from the given one to the default hamburger icon or something.
They have given me the docs of Flutter page to change it using Flutter Inspector but i don't know how to do it.
Here is the link they send me...
https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/devtools/inspector
Help me out...
From Android Studio, run the application in an Emulator or real device.
In the debug tab of Android Studio the 'Open DevTools' button (its icon is the Dart logo) next to the Hot Reload and Hot Restart buttons. This will launch a Dart DevTools tab.
After the new browser tab opens, click the "Try DevTools beta" button in the top right of the screen. This will take you to a new beta version of DevTools.
From there you will see what the linked page is talking about, but you must be on the latest version of Flutter.
On 25th june flutter has declared the stable dev tool, in that if you want to change in ui then,you just have to open dev tool with your connected device and in Flutter inspector enable the select widget mode. and in layout explorer you can changes the ui design properties. But remember one thing you can only changes in the row, column and container properties.
I believe that I have accidentally closed the layout editor in Android Studio. How do I get it back without having to restart Android Studio?
Note, I have refreshed the Android Studio and that did not work.
If you closed your design tab (or so it seem from your question) you can go back to it by click on the left bottom corner design tab
If you want to re-open the preview you just need to press the preview tab (see image) :
And if you don't see the preview tab at all you can pop it up like this :
View -> Tool Windows -> Preview
Design tab is not visible in Android Studio. How to enable it ?
View - Window tools - viewer is not visible.
Thanks
I recently ran into this problem. Try File > Sync Project with Gradle Files. This can also help with configuration problems
The view that you are looking for is called the "preview" window in android studio.
You have to open a layout view in your project. Navigate to src/main/res/layout/ in your project and select the xml layout file you want to work with.
If the preview window doesn't automatically open up, you can open the view by selecting from the tool bar View>Tool Windows>Preview
There will be a "Design" and "Text" tab at the bottom of the xml layout.
I recently installed Android Studio 3.1.3 on my laptop in order to start learning android/mobile development (I am still new to all of this). The LogCat option seems to be missing though (refer to images below)
What I tried to do in order to fix the problem:
-uninstalling and reinstalling android studio (along with updating it...)
-researching the problem (no useful results as all the solutions were to press alt-6 or go to View->Tool Windows)
It would be a huge help/relief if someone knows how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
I know it is an old question, but I encountered this problem at least twice so it might help someone.
The problem seems to be the path of the project you're looking at.
It should be pointing to the folder containing the 'app' and 'gradle' folders inside your project.
Go to File > Open
Select the folder with the 'app' folder inside your project
Press 'Open'
If you see something like this you can now probably open the Logcat window with alt-6 or View->Tool Windows.
Note that for some reason, it didn't work for me at first until I opened the app folder, run a build and then opened the folder containing the app folder.
You need to sync your project and then Logcat will show up
Just in case anyone stumbles upon this as I did: If you are developing a react-native app, be sure that you import only the android folder of the project.
If you import the whole project, then among other things, logcat is nowhere to be found!
Try pressing Alt+6 on Windows or CMD+6 on Mac.
I closed "Logcat" by accident via right click -> "Remove From Sidebar".
I was able to restore it with these steps:
Launch your current App on an emulator.
This should create a "Run" Tab on the Sidebar.
Click on the "Run" Tab and find the "Modify Run Configuration..."
(Wrench) icon and launch it.
Change the tab to "Miscellaneous".
Check the box next to "Show logcat automatically"
This is not a solution if Logcat doesn't even show up in View->Tool Windows!
But if it does: click it and it may show up at a different location than it used to be. Without recognizing I had shoved it to the top left where the project tab is shown. You can now click on the gear wheel on the tab and select move to bottom left (that is the default location).
This was the solution for my "logcat not showing".
Press Alt+6 inside Android Studio to open Logcat monitor.
Then, Do the following steps:-
Open Android Studio.
Open Android Monitor Window(at the bottom of android studio).
Here you will see the drop down in right corner.
Select Show only selected Application.
Yesterday I configured my Android Studio according to the tutorial I saw. The next day, I opened Android studio and the logcat, and many of the other things on toolbar were not showing up and grayed out.
Please see the screenshot below:
Just click the dropdown button on left side of RUN button and then Edit Configurations...
then click on Android Application on the left and click the + button. Choose "Android App" from the pop-up menu. Then pick the module and select "app". Then click apply and ok.
If you have more errors after that, try to reopen project, it could be caused due to directory error, make sure you correctly target project when browsing and opening the target directory which contains the files.
...\AndroidStudioProjects\YourAppName\{project files}
First you need to create an run configuration. To do so, click the dropdown box to the left of the Run button. If you already have a run configuration, just select it. If not, click on Edit Confirgurations.... Then click on the + button at the top left and select Android App. Enter a descriptive name and select the app module. Finally, click OK. The Run button should now become enabled.
