My android studio is not showing the main menu bar where File,Code,Build... options remain.For this I can not open a new project or build an apk.I have to close android studio and then again open it and then I click on Create New Project.Please help me bringing back the menu bar.
If you accidentally hide your main menu bar, double tap on Shift key on keyboard, then select 'Actions' and type 'Main menu'. Click on 'Main menu' that appears in list, you will then see the Main menu in a popup window. Choose View > Appearance > Main menu.
By mistake I removed the toolbar in Android Studio IDE. How can I get it back.
Note: I am not talking about toolbar in android app
If your Main Menu toolbar is hidden you can get it back by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N (or double tap Shift on Android Studio 4.x) and search for the View | Appearance: Main Menu Action. Toggle to ON to enable the menu again:
Select View->
Click on Toolbars
The simple way:
If you have accidentally hidden your Main menubar:
Double tap on Shift on your keyboard.
On the popped up window click on Actions and type mainmenu.
A toggle button labelled " view appearence : Main Menu - OFF" will appear.
Click on toogle OFF to make it ON.
Now, the Main Menu is shown. very simple!
For the version of 3.6.1,
It is actually in View > Appearance > Tool Window Bars.
Make sure it is ticked.
It is frustrating when you accidentally hide toolbars & even when the main menubar is also hidden, it is difficult to get back because the View tab is also hidden after the main menubar.
So what to do?
Press Alt+CTRL+S - this will open all settings.
In settings, that go to keymaps.
Find Main Menu-> View-> Toggle the main menu.
Select it and assign any shortcut you like after clicking the little pencil icon on top.
Close settings and press your shortcuts, - main menu opens.
You can similarity assign to Main Menu-> View-> Toolbar and show toolbar again on Android studio IDE. Alternatively, after the main menu opened, click VIEW-> Toolbar tab.
This's the way easy and simple:
Click on Search Everywhere icon.
Type "Main Menu" (or anything you want to find: status bar, navigation bar, tool bar ...).
Click on Status Button to enable ON mode for it.
Done!!!

If you're on Linux and the Main menu disappeared after updating AS, and you can't find it in the View | Appearance as suggested in the other answers, then it's probably because of an experimental Linux native menu flag got enabled.
Double tap Shift (or do Ctrl + Shift + A), to get the window to type in what action are you looking for, and type Experimental features. Then find linux.native.menu and uncheck it. Then restart AS.

Depending on your version of Android Studio, the option was moved:
Older versions:
View > Toolbars
Newer versions:
View > Appearence > Toolbars
I have the version 3.6.1 and for me it is in the second case now.
It is actually in View > Appearance > Tool Window Bars.
Make sure it is ticked.
If you have hidden your Main menu bar:
Follow the below steps:
Click on Main Menu -> View
on View -> Click on Tool Windows
In Tool Windows select the project or if you required any other menu you can add
Now, the Main Menu is shown. very simple!
You can similarity assign to Main Menu-> View-> Toolbar and show toolbar again on Android studio IDE. Alternatively, after the main menu opened, click VIEW-> Toolbar tab. Save this answer.
I am trying to add an icon to the Right Click, Drop Down Menu , on an Action, in a View. The icon shows up in the Action Bar (with no text, but that is how it's supposed to work) at the top (see image) but in the drop down menu, it does not appear, only the text does. Is there something I am missing? Is this not suppported?
In my opinion this feature is only supported for actions in the action bar:
This question has a couple bits to it. Basically I want to make the context menu behave like a sidebar that pops out a box with html.
Get the height and location of a users context menu?
Open an interactable html view next to the menu without closing the menu?
Close both the menu and popout on off-click.
So a user can right click on the page,
and then click the contextMenu item to open a page that can hold html
In QtDesigner, if i have a pushbutton and want to add a handler for it all i need to do is to right-click this button and select "go to slot" - QtCreator will automatically add a code and connect signal to slot. But top menu items don't have a "go to slot" in right click menu O_O. Is it possible to add handler to top menu item in QtDesigner? Of course i can write a "conect" method manually at constructor, but it's much more easily to do a few clicks in QtDesigner itself -_-.
On every menu item added corresponding 'command' will be displayed at 'commands' QtDesigner window. Right-click command and select 'go to slot'.
