I have this weird problem with Android studio that's driving me crazy.
I have a new monitor, with a higher resolution (2560x1440), and on that monitor the toolbar menus looks small, they get reduced to 7 rows and I have no idea how to change this behaviour. So far it is the only software that does this, is there some settings where I can change the height of the menus?
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 if it makes any difference.
(sorry for the picture I couldn't take a screenshot with the menu open)
You can change the font size of Android Studio UI. This might help.
File -> Settings -> Appearance and Behavior -> (Tick) Use Custom Font -> Set your desired font size at Right of the Use Custom Font option.

While I still don't know if the problem is solvable via any internal setting in Android Studio, I managed to resolve this issue by swapping my HDMI cable with a DisplayPort. What really puzzled me was the fact that only Android studio seemed to be affected.

Hey guys I just updated Android Studio, I am glad that they finally fixed the bug where you could not open up the Device Manager. However they changed the look of it and it now comes inside AS or as a much much larger window (see my screenshot).
Is there a way to make it look like it was before? So just the Device with its frame and not that huge window around it? Also Crtl+M doesnt work and Crtl+Upkey/Downkey do not change the size of the emulator like it used to.
Go to Preferences of Android Studio
Search for emulator, or navigate to tools -> Emulator
Uncheck the Launch in a tool window
I am using the visual editor in Android Studio. In there, the text is really big, like how I want it to be. But when I build it on a physical device it is default size.
Thanks in advance!
simply create many layout that support pixels make all your layout handle your show way
read this to understand the idea
https://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen/screensizes
and do this in your code then check the devices

there's also something else you may have not noticed yet
in android studio Preview Layout you can choose your the preview device as your actual device or same as it.
this way the preview design will be same as your device. but for other devices you should have above answers in mind.
Im running android studio on a surface 4 pro, which has a higher resolution than my desktop monitor.
When i dock the surface, the text in Android studio is massive, and i cant find a way to make it a more acceptable size.
I would appreciate pointers from anyone who has already faced this.
Thanks
You can try to follow this post, if does not work, then do ctrl+alt+s and from Keymap assign a combination of keys to enlarge and diminish the text in a class
I am learning how to use android studio, and I'm enjoying it so far. However, I'm a little bit OCD, and the breakpoint column in my version of Android Studio is really wide and it's kind of annoying me. I can't figure out how to resize it! I first provided a screenshot of the instructor's Android Studio, followed by mine:

As far as I know, there is no direct way to change the size of the gutter.
From what I am able to see in the tiny portion of the screenshots, the difference between your gutter, and the instructor's, might be due to original screen resolution or Android Studio's version.
That said, there is one very simple way to indirectly change the size of the gutter by disabling the icons shown on it.
On Android Studio go to Preferences > Editor > General > Gutter Icons, and uncheck Show gutter icons. It will reduce the gutter size to something similar to what can be seen in the instructor's screenshot (although, he does have gutter icons).
is there any way I can change the resolution of Android Studio? I looked in Settings->Appearance but it seems like there is no official way to change it. I have a 1920x1080 Display and the whole window and text looks a little bit blurry. I am running a Windows machine on Windows 8.1.
Thanks!
You need to set a compatibility option "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" for the application.
Right-click the taskbar button, then right-click the app name, select Properties, Compatibility. Set the option, save changes, restart Studio.
Those instructions are for a Win7 machine, but Win8.1 should behave the same.
To explain what is happening: apparently, the Studio is not "high DPI aware", i.e. does not declare "I know how to handle myself on a high-DPI screen", and Windows tries to scale the window so that its elements do not get too tiny.
You can override this on an app-by-app basis, but be prepared for possible glitches / tiny UI elements.
Right click on your android studio icon. Go to : Properties -> Compatibility.
Check the "Override high DPI scaling behaviour" option also select "Application" for "Scaling performed by" from the drop down menu.
Press apply and restart your android studio.
I am using Windows 10 and I am facing the same problem.
I know, I know ... why not to switch to Linux? So this won't be a problem..., but the fact is that my company gave me this notebook with Windows :/ and I've been too lazy to format and reinstall OS.
In my case the problem occurs because sometimes I use an external monitor, and sometimes I don't.
When I use the external monitor, the sources are very blurry.
In my case, what worked was
Right click on Studio icon \ Right click on "Android studio" item menu \ Properties
Compatibility \ Change Settings for all users
And now, when using external monitor
Check "Run in Compatibility with... Windows 8", and click on Change high DPI settings
Check "Override High DPI with... system"
Hope it helps.
Modify the font size in the "File > Settings..." screen on Windows
Try changing your PC's theme to Windows 7 Basic. Control Panel>Change Theme. Set it to Windows 7 Basic (should be under the "Basic and High Contrast Themes" header) and see if that fixes it. You may need to restart Android Studio to have the changes take affect. I had this issue too and it bugged the crap out of me and somehow I figured it out. Hope this helps!
