I'm new to android studio. I've imported source codes of some apps to android studio to learn. and then I started to practice by creating a new project. when new project created It doesn't show the default main activity and xml instead It showed many existing activities and xml of the existing project. I've tried to create new project a few times but it's still the same. thought that I might make some mistakes somewhere. I don't know. Please kindly help. thank beforehand !
To create a simple app on Android Studio what you have to do is to choose the Empty Activity.
Then you add the name to your app, choose the location, choose the language to program (Java/Kotlin), the minimum SDK (use the recommended one to start) and hit Finish. It should create one simple activity with one layout which shows a TextView with Hello World! as a text.
Could you provide some screenshots? It would make it easier to help you :)
For the moment, I would suggest that you make sure that you're selecting "blank activity" when you create it. Also check that you've stored your downloaded source code properly.
Android Studio remembers last opened project. The next time you start Android Studio, it will open last opened project.
You can choose menu File -> Close Project. Then it goes back to open/new screen which allows you to create your own project.
ah it was a silly mistake guys. I confused to click on basic activity instead of empty activity. thank you guys so much !

I want to bring over classes from the stock launcher into the one I'm developing right now. How can I do that?
Also, thanks for all the help today.
You can select the class in Android Studio and copy it from there, and then paste it into the appropriate package in your new project. This will adjust the package name automatically instead of you having to do it yourself.
I'm fairly new to java and android studio in general,and I'm trying to follow a tutorial on YouTube on how to make a simple android calculator by Andy York. I made it to part 2 of 2 until he started coding in MainActivity.java, when I noticed that ours were different and that I have stuff like "FloatingActionButton"and "SetSupportActionBar" which he doesn't have and which is confusing because if erase those then everything will mess up. I think it may have been because of an Android Studio update since his video? I'm trying to make everything neat like his but I don't know how. I hope this makes sense and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
When creating new project in Android Studio use "Empty Activity" template instead of "Basic Activity". The "basic" one does add a lot of things, like a floating action button, which often isn't helpful.
Those are coming because you select a that theme. So, Select the Empty Activity. Then nothing will make problem .
I think this is probably a basic question, but I just could not find the button. I was trying to create a new Android project from the starting page. But when I click on New Project it gives me a page with the options of Java, Maven, Gradle, Groovy Griffin... instead of the familiar starting page with Blank App, Google Map, etc.
When I opened a previous project, it opens Tags like C:, Users, Android, etc. The image is below:
Any idea how do I find that page back?
You may need to update the SDK first, by SDK Manager.
Don't know what happened, but I closed Android Studio for one day. When I opened it the second day, it got back normal. (I also closed all project when closing the Studio.)
I recently started using Android Studio instead of Eclipse. Previously I made a widget in Eclipse and when switching to Android Studio, I could easily open it there.
However, I can't quite figure out how to create a blank widget in Android Studio. When creating a new project in Android Studio I can choose between a Blank Activity, a Fullscreen Activity or a Master/Detail Flow. Since I'm making just a widget and not an activity the first two aren't the right ones and the third one doesn't seem to be what I want either.
Hi I can see this might be an old question but. Hope this helps newbies...
I am using Android Studio 1.0.2 and has some awesome features to generate most of the stuff that if you follow many tutorials out there. Is just a click away. On android studio i'm using just right click, select new and Widget App > then every file needed is generated for you based on the size of widget you want.
Happy coding .... !
When you create a new project, just uncheck the "Create activity box"
