When I build a project and there are errors, the Messages window that shows all the errors does not always show. I have to build the project (i.e. Ctrl + F9 ) twice or more in order to see the window.
When the window is not shown, View > Tool > Messages Alt + 0 is grayed out as shown by the following screenshot. How can I show the window when there are build errors?
I am running the latest Android Studio on Windows 8.
[Edit] 2018-04-02
Android Studio 3.1 seems to have this window removed, many people may come here because of missing the Messages Window due to a different reason, and yuval's answer may be the right one in this case.
I got here after upgrading to Android Studio 3.1, in which they removed the Messages window, replacing it with the Build window. After some poking around, I found this button on the left side of the Build window:
Clicking this button toggles the view between the new "Build" view and the old "Messages" view.
UPDATE: per suggestions in the comments, since this doesn't really answer the asked question, I opened it up as its own question: Where is the Messages Window in Android Studio 3.1
UPDATE 2: In Android Studio 3.3 the button now looks like this:
UPDATE 3: In Android Studio 3.6 the button is gone. Instead, the build window is permanently split between text output and visual output. If you can't find the text output, it might be fully collapsed, so look on the top right of the build window for something like this:
And try to drag it left to reveal the build window, like this:
It was a bit different in my case. I just closed the Message Tool Window with this red cross on the left and then this window completely disappeared and would not show again even after several rebuilds, View > Tool > Messages Alt+0 was also grayed out. The only thing that helped to bring the Window back is to break the build, so it would be some compiler errors. After that the window has reappeared showing those errors. Now the window is still there, does not vanish. Hope this helps somebody.
Just to have the whole picture. Go to the Build and then on the left side of the window you will find your Messages icon.
Build -> Make Project
(Ctrl+F9 or ⇧⌘F9)
Can't find the button #yuval provided, but here it is to toggle to show it

After I update Android Studio to chipmunk, every time I build the project it gives me this warning. Sometimes it even gives me two times in Run and Build tabs overlapping each other and consuming one click of the mouse to dismiss it, what end up being really annoying.
Is there a way to disable those bubble notifications? Disabling this specific one would be the ideal, but disabling only build notifications should work for me as well.
Thanks in advance.
In Android Studio Go to Help | Edit custom propertie
paste the following line
editor.soft.wrap.force.limit=100000
I've just begun (today) learning how to code for Android. I have my first basic app up and running, but when I rotate the emulator, it goes into this really weird view. I don't know how to explain it, so I'll just attach a screenshot:
As you can see, half of the screen is rotated one direction, and half of the screen is rotated another direction. Only one side of the screen can be interacted with -- the other side is "dead" and doesn't respond to anything.
Looks like it's a bug with Android Studio 4.1 + Big Sur:
https://developer.android.com/studio/known-issues
The suggested fixes both work (copying here for posterity):
Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences > General. In the
Prefer tabs when opening documents option, select "never". Then
restart Android Studio.
Upgrade to Android Studio 4.2, currently available in the Beta channel.
I use：
print('Pls. show this line only');
to debug my flutter apps developed by Android Studio. However, the output in the [Run Tab] is usually something like:
Tens/Hundreds of system debug messages
I/flutter ( 9154): Pls. show this line only
Tens/Hundreds of system debug messages
OK, sometimes it takes me minutes to find my own debug message [Pls. show this line only].
My question is simple, how can we disable [Tens/Hundreds of system debug messages] in the Run Tab of Flutter Project in Android Studio?
Meanwhile, I am using:
print('***************************************************** Pls. show this line only');
as a work around.
In Android Studio....
Before
Settings
File > Settings > Editor > General > Console
Look for section:
Fold console lines that contain
Click the + button on right hand side of scrollable list
Add your substring of what you'd like hidden from the Console output.
For example in Flutter, I'd remove D/ (i.e. letter D + forward slash) which are emulator debug messages.
After
I Finally found a Workaround For VS code this is NOT permanent so you have to do it once per session but it helps a lot ...
there is a hidden feature in vs code for debug log filtering and all you need to do is to filter the log to have only the flutter related logs as follows :
1) focus on debug console (by clicking on it )
2) click ctrl + f (nothing will appear but you are now in filtering mode)
3) Type "I/Flutter"
4) hover on the word and click the icon next to it to make it stick .
that's it !
Before :
After:
In Android Studio:
select text you want to ignore in the console
Right-click it
Fold lines like this
Android Studio Flutter Console folding
Select the option as shown in case IntelliJ IDEs or Android Studio
Now you can filter as follows
The android-studio 4.0 has a setting to make this messages go away.
Go to File -> Settings -> Languages and Frameworks -> Flutter
Uncheck the box stating Enable verbose logging
Settings View
Add
I/flutter
in filter of VsCode Debug Console Filter.
Rather than filtering the logs, use the release version of the drivers :
flutter run --release
This will avoid printing all the system logs like :
V/MediaPlayerNative(22395): playback complete
And your debug prints will continue to display.
Drawback is you won't use anymore the hot reload. Reserved to investigate when the debug prints are flooded in system logs.
Of course applicable to VSCode.
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 want to see warnings of my code in Android Studio, But i am unable to find the option to display warnings view. In case of eclipse we can see the warnings in the "Problems" view.
Can anyone suggest me, how to view warnings in android studio?
If, on the toolbar, you click Analyze -> Inspect Code; then in the window that pops up select how much of your project you want to inspect (I usually do Whole Project, but you might want to select a specific module), then click okay.
Android Studio will work for a bit, then the inspection window will pop up from the bottom with a list of results, subdivided by inspection.
Build -> Make Project (Ctrl + F9) gives what we can get equivalent of Eclipse's “Problems” view on Android Studio
you can use F2 to next problems, see more here: Navigating to Next/Previous Error
GO to View-->Tool Windows-->Messages to view the warnings
Even i searched all the settings in Android Studio, but couldn't find a separate window for it.
The warnings are actually visible to the right end of a particular line as a small yellow marker and clicking on that show the warnings in the status bar below. The colors of them can be editted in the inspection options.
Hope this helps you.
The closest thing Android Studio/IntelliJ has to the Problems view in Eclipse is to use the Problems section of the Project tool window. With that open, navigate down to any classes that appear there and open them in the editor. Once in the editor, you can use F2 to jump between errors in the open file.
Unfortunately, IntelliJ's Problems tool window shows classes with errors nested by folder/package, so you have to expand several levels and it takes up a lot of screen real estate to see even one error. It also doesn't list the errors individually, forcing you to first open the problematic file and then use F2 to navigate to each one. I also had the problem that errors in files that weren't open, didn't show up there.
