I just downloaded Android Studio and the simulator for some reason is zoomed in very far or has enormous text. I've tried everything on the right-hand bar to handle this and there are no menu bar options. How can I resolve this?
I was experiencing the same exact problem at first. After I had opened my project in Android Studio, the IDE installed a bunch of other libraries and tools; in turn priming the environment. To note, this was all after a fresh install of Android Studio. After the supplemental install, I then started the emulator from the AVD Manager from within the IDE. Afterwards, whenever I ran the emulator again I had experienced zero issues like this. I understand some of this sounds anecdotal but it seems that the Android Studio IDE helped sort this out for me at least.
I would also like to note that, if you experienced any warnings or errors when executing the simulator, it may also be an issue originating from the emulator's environment itself. Possibly tweaking some of the settings on the emulator could also help (i.e., memory/storage capacity).

I have some trouble about android studio. if anybody know this program, please read description of my problem.
I created empty activity project android 5.0(lolipop) and just click run by emulator. I already tried different kind of devices, but the error is the same. My friends have no problem like that.
please tell me what to do.screenshot of emulator error message and photo of log error

Do you have Bandicam installed like it's suggesting? It's complaining about your Vulkan drivers ( you could update those) and Bandicam messing with them (you could uninstall that).
Alternatively you can open your AVD Manager, edit the AVD you're using, and set Emulated Performance: Graphics to Software (can't do it on every image for some reason - my API 29 Pixel 3 image won't let me change it, my API 30 Pixel 3XL image will). It'll run worse, but it'll run (well it should anyway)
If you use the flatpak of android studio on linux, run "flatpak update" and that should resolve your issues.
If you don't use the flatpak on linux, try restarting your machine and if that doesn't work, do a clean reinstall of your graphics driver.
Don't know why people keep trying to recommend software rendering, it's horrible and not at all practical, it's a barely working workaround not a solution.
Background
I'm trying to use Android Studio 3.3 Canary 8 (the latest Preview release). I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit, and if it's relevant, my desktop environment is KDE Plasma and my window manager is KWin.
Issue
It was working completely fine until a couple of days ago, when I began experiencing an unusual display bug which rendered the editor completely unusable for me.
Here are a couple of screenshots of what Studio looks like right now. The first one is the Tip of the Day window that pops up at startup, and the second one is the actual editor itself.
From what I can tell, it seems that all UI elements have been stretched vertically, or something along those lines.
Troubleshooting
I tried Googling around for my issue, but I'm not entirely sure what to even Google in the first place. I tried some variations of "Android Studio display bug" or "Android Studio UI vertically stretched", things along those lines, but most search results apply to Android applications and not the editor itself.
I suspect that there's an issue with Android Studio's DPI detection, but I have no way of fixing any issues there given the fact that I can't see any text anywhere.
Attempted Fixes
I tried redownloading Android Studio from their website and running that fresh install. No dice.
I tried completely removing any Android Studio configuration or cache folders and reinstalling. Nope.
I tried using the release candidate instead of the Canary build. That didn't work so I tried using the stable release (3.1.4), which didn't work either.
I tried rebooting my computer too, but the issue persists.
I can't think of anything on my computer that might have changed between the last time Android Studio worked fine and now. I do remember installing some system updates, but I'm not sure which ones specifically (if there's a way to find out what updates were installed for a given run of sudo apt upgrade, I can include that information in this post).
Bottom Line
I'm really at a loss, and this is a really frustrating issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if this is the wrong place to ask I apologize. If there's any more information you might need to troubleshoot this, please let me know and I'll update this question.
Android Studio not executes the IDE, it only shows the splash screen, after few seconds, it dissapears.
I tried the following solutions:
I uninstalled the program and installed again
I restarted my PC after installation
I added "JAVA_HOME" and "JDK_HOME" as environment variables
I checked if "studio.exe" process is executing, if IDE is executing in background.
I executed Android Studio as "Administrator"
I disabled Antivirus temporarily
I deleted ".android", ".AndroidStudio", ".gradle", ... folders
These solutions not worked.
Which is the problem with execution?
If you have done this:
do you have installed the JAVA SDK donwload the latest release from here!
be sure to have configured the JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME in your environmet variables.
then check the .log file generated by Android Studio to get more information about your issue:
C:\Users[MyUser].AndroidStudio1.2\system\log\idea.log
I recently experienced this issue as well.
It was related to me having dual monitors and oddly the secondary screen was not able to load android studio.
In my setup the issue resolved itself once the secondary screen was made the primary screen ( I have an ATI graphic card 8300) with Android Studio 2.3 and Canary build 3.x
This is typicaly a low memory problem. I currently have the same and I was able to make few correlations. If you start your task manager, you will notice that "Disk" goes to ceiling when starting Android Studio. Actually, you will surely notice that it goes more often to 100% that you'd expect and Android Studio is just the perfect vector to observe this, since it consumes a lot of resources.
The annoying part of the answer is that this "Disk 100%" bug on windows 8.1 is really widespread and solutions doesn't seem that straightforward. For the record, if I find my cause (or if I'm all wrong in my hypothesis), I'll keep you posted.

I recently got introduced to Android via a school course. Did some very simple examples earlier, and decided to installed all the required peripherals at my home computer too. I was on my way to develope all kind of cool stuff, until i noticed that something is wrong with my Android SDK or the emulator itself - it won't run any of the programs i try to.
I've got Eclipse & All the required add-ons / plugins installed. I get no error messages at any stage ( in eclipse or in the emulator itself ). Whenever i press run at Eclipse, the emulator takes it's time and starts up, but doesn't start the program, and doesn't actually show even the slightest hint of it. Looks just like if i had tried to start only the emulator. I've tried to create several different AVD's, and tried to use different versions of Android on them. No luck.
Im using windows 7 x64, and after a couple of rounds with Google, i found a few other guys who are having the same problem with the same OS.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as im running out of options here.
You need 32 bit eclipse and 32 bit JVM. There should be an error in the "console" window in eclipse if you hit run.
Click on the Menu button of the emulator to unlock it. You may then need to rerun the app.
The following situation will surely be familiar to any Android developer using Eclipse and ADT.
I'm tired of this endless cycle of switching Build Automatically on and off, running Clean, building and running. I'm constantly doing all of these operations when I'm fine tuning UI (i.e., editing XML files and needing to see the results live), and any time I save, an Eclipse window telling me I have these pending operations shows up. When that happens, I turn off Build Automatically. I do my alterations and then run. Sometimes Eclipse decides the changes in the XML file weren't enough, and it won't reinstall the app in the emulator or device, so I force a build and install.
All of this is just wasted time. I've already done an AppleScript to build & run my app into all the emulators and devices I have connected at once, described in this SO question, but my workflow could be much improved if I found a way to save and build silently and fast.
Does anyone have any tips or alternatives?
IntelliJIdea Community Edition now supports Android
Have you tried the bundle for Textmate? It's pretty cool. It's basic but its got all the features you need. Building, Deployment and integration with AVD and Logcat.
I use this for all my Android Dev now as I found Eclipse painfully slow.
