When I start the emulator in Android Studio, it opens as a tab. I want to open it in a seperate window.
Additionally, my Visual Studio Code doesn't see this emulator.
Also, Android Studio, (and VSCode as well) doesn't see the emulator too. It isn't listed in select device.
I didn't use to have these kind of errors. I needed to delete Android Studio. I reinstalled it and things changed.
To resolve the issue, go to: File > settings > tools > emulator.
After that, untick "launch in a tool window" option.
Note:
Restart the program if you couldn't launch the emulator if instead you get a message that it's already launched.
With the new update it's possible to open the emulator as a new window clicking on settings icon -> view mode, there you can choose what's the best for you, maybe it can help.
I'm very new to Android development and have never used Android Studio before. I set it up, got my app working on my phone and left it alone for a few weeks. Upon returning, I could not find the Android Studio executable on my computer, so I reinstalled it and restarted on the same project.
Not sure if this has to do with the AVD Manager button being grayed out. Things I have tried:
Making sure my SDK path is correct
Running Android Studio as administrator
Launching the AVD Manager executable from windows. I can create a virtual device but doesn't affect disabled AVD Manager button when restarting Android Studio.
Installing Intel X86 Atom System Image and Google APIs in SDK Manager, under API 24.Everything under API 25 is installed.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
This generally happens when Android Studio is not able identify the android sdk installation in the machine. This could happen if Android Studio is launched in non-Administrator mode.
Just close and relaunch Android Studio in administrator mode. You will see a saying "android framework is identified" Click on the configure link on that notification. The AndroidStudio will start configuring the android sdk. After some time the buttons would be visible and enabled.
If you tried running the Android Studio in administrator mode and it still do not work for you try the following way.
Delete the .idea folder in the project
Re open the project from going to File->Open Recent->
Then you will be asked to convert the project
Click convert
For anyone seeing this problem following the React Native tutorial make sure to click the "Configure" button in the Event Log next to the log text that reads "Frameworks detected: Android framework is detected in the project"
This action seems to be what configures the project to be an Android project.
I'v solved this issue by updating gradle.
It is simple
The only thing that worked for me was that I clicked in Androidstudio in the top right on SDK Managar.
And there under android sdk it was so that there was no path entered. and it was also so that NO Check box was checked below.
So I had to first click in the top right on Edit thereby was written to me the path pure.
After that I had to select a chack box below it no matter whiche and sometimes it must then just install something. When it has finished installing click OK. It may be that you then have to close and open android studio again.
I was having this issue on a new machine running MacOS High Sierra.
After installing Android Studio and the most recent SDK/
SDK Tools, I was unable to create any AVD from Android Studio (button greyed out, no option under Tools) or run the AVD Manager any other way.
I tried the same things the OP had done, then noticed I was getting the following error: Gradle sync failed: Failed to find Build Tools revision 26.0.2
From the Event Log I followed a link to download the Build tools and now it works!
If you are working on Flutter, Follow the steps:
Open Settings in Android Studio (CTRLALTS)
Search Flutter
Check may path of Flutter SDK is not available.
Set the path and press OK.
Done! Thank you
I tried the answers here, but the only solution for me was to restart my machine and it fixed itself. It happened after upgrading AS (from 4.0.2 to 4.2.2)
in android studio or intellij program:
goto tools > android > SDK manager
click on Edit (android SDK location)
click next and next
close dialog
its ok.
Background to problem and how it all started:
I suddenly and without warning had errors related to plugins. Specifically, firebase services and firebase testing plugins not enabled. Result, could not open my project.
After lengthy research and struggle I was finally able to enable these plugins (along with others)through a miracle and opened my project BUT a new problem has now emerged.
Now the run app button for the emulator is greyed out. If i try to go to the top and click on: RUN APP ==> the "run green" button is also greyed out here (along with "debug" and "Run with coverage".
When I open a recent project in Android Studio in a new window the emulator run button is visible and I can open the Emulator without any problems. It's only suddenly this one project. It's been working just fine until now.
I updated Android Studio just prior to this as it requested it. I am using Android Studio 2.2.1.
Any suggestions highly appreciated, thanks in advance
For anyone else that has this problem the solution is found on Youtube at below link. Thanks to the uploader of this video. Saved my day!

Its weird but it worked.
Just deselect and select again those two plugins .
Click Ok.
It will prompt for restart. Click Restart.
It works!
I have a problem with my Android studio 2. That's whenever I want to clean or rebuild my android project, I always get this message
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.
Unable to delete directory: C:\Users\MyPC\Desktop\SharePlace\app\build\intermediates
and can not fix it. what I only can do is go to File explorer and delete it.
then come back android studio and rebuild again. Sometime, that way also does not work.
I need some help to fix that Android studio. Please.
Thank inadvance!
Solution 1 :
you are using Android Studio 2.0 Beta, this issue might appear (more likely if you are working on NTFS filesystem) and it seems like the "Instant Run" is the culprit. Search for "Instant Run" in settings and uncheck the box.
I have filed an issue on the bug tracker.
Solution 2 :
You need to go to the source file directly. Close the studio and go to the path the issue is located at and delete the folder there.
I got a lot of faults like this.
Try to refresh all gradle projects: in Android Studio click on the "Gradle" tab on the right side of the window. When the gradle menu is shown, click on two blue mixed arrows icon. Then wait a moment until gradle completes refreshing and try cleaning or rebuilding again.
For me it was fixed by running Android Studio as administrator.
Manually deleted folder( build\generated and build\intermediates) after closing android studio works for me.
Found the solution. For windows, goto Task Manager and find your Android Studio. Expand it and end task for OpenJDK Platform Binary as depicted below
screenshot.
Then re-run your app in Android Studio again. It should work, and you don't have to restart your Android Studio all the time. More productivity~
I have recently started to use Android Studio v0.1.1, And i can't seem to find LogCat... Is it gone? Or if not, how can I enable it?
If it is gone, is there any way to enable something similar to log my app behavior (and mainly crashes)?
I think I still can find logcat in my installation of 0.1.1
Try pressing Alt+6 on Windows or CMD+6 on Mac.
Check if you have hidden it... Use Alt+6 to bring up the window and click on the button shown below 'Restore logcat view'
In Android Studio 3.4, In the case in which Logcat does not appear in View->ToolWindows->Logcat (in that case Alt+6 or CMD+6 will also not work), the way to get the logact window is:
File->Profile or debug APK (choose an APK)
Select new window or use current window.
Logcat is now available through the menu
(View->ToolWindows->Logcat) or through Alt+6 or
CMD+6
This issue is an indication that something is not configured correctly with the Android Studio project.
The above solution can be useful:
As a temporary solution when there are configuration issues with the Android Studio project, that for some reason are causing Android Studio to hide the logcat window.
When trying to use the Android Studio logcat window for debugging an app without an Android Studio project.
You can show it pressing Alt+6
Or...
Tools-> Android -> Android Device Monitor
will open a separate window
In my case, Logcat is showing in Android Project but not in Flutter Project.
In Flutter project, click on “Event Log” tab
it will show
23/03/20
6:52 Frameworks Detected
Android framework is detected.
click “Configure”， and it will show logcat
Android Studio 4.0.1
in my case when I press Alt + 6 it shows logcat with no problem but when I click to dismiss it will disappear again and will not be pinned at the bottom so I pressed this little button on the bottom left of the screen then it worked. hope it will help somebody :)
View -> Tool Windows -> Logcat (command + 6)
Open a separate terminal and start adb with logcat.
On my (linux) system;
~/android-studio/sdk/platform-tools/adb logcat
While I would be a little late for the party, it has been a few years and new version of Studio.
Today when you encounter the bug, your logcat would not be shown, to resolve this you would need to follow these steps:
Menu -> Build -> Make Project
in your settings.gradle comment out everything and sync.
uncomment everything and sync again.
Menu -> Build -> Make Project
Once the project build is done.. your Studio would be ready.
I have encountered several different bugs related to this issue, this scenario covers most of these cases.
In my case the window was also missing and "View -> ToolWindows -> Logcat (Alt + 6)" did not even exist. Pressing ALT+6 also had absolutely no effect whatsoever.
I fixed it this way:
connect a device
start ADB via Terminal ("> adb usb")
stop it again (ctrl + c)
close the Terminal window in the bottom left window next to the Event Log (via the red X)
After closing the terminal the Logcat window appeared in the tab list and the menu entry appeared in the "View -> ToolWindows" category.
In Android Studio 2.3.2 you will have to click on "Android Monitor" panel at the bottom and "logcat" is a tab of this pannel. See attachment.
If you do not have this panel you will have to go to Your main menu and then View->ToolBar/ToolButtons/Statusbar/Navigationbar
Choose "floating mode" then "Docker mode". It's worked for me!
When you are opening the project in the android studio instead of opening android directory open app directory
In AndroidStudio menus click: View\Tool Windows\Android
way one :
you can use bin icon in logcat
way two:
you can clear logcat after per lunch
Edit Configuration > Miscellaneous
check Clear log before lunch
Apparantly, when logcat is opened and Android Studio is switched to fullscreen mode and back, the logcat window is nowwhere to be found.
Solution:
Restart Android Studio.
Search Android Monitor tab bottom of android studio screen. Click on it. It will display a window and there is a tab call logcat.
If you can't see Android monitor tab, click Alt+G.
for me the device selection bar (or whatever it's actually called) in logcat tab doesn't show, to resolve this I had to move logcat to some other position (left/right) and move it back
If all of the above methods does not work then try the below mechanism. Sometimes, the android studio does not show logcat options because of the project you select is not an android project. If you want to debug an APK, create an empty android project then it will start showing the logcat option.
IN android studio 3.5.1 View -> Tool Windows ->Logcat
From 2022 to forth:
On top menu:
View -> Tool Windows -> Logcat
To show the bottom bar:
View -> Appearance -> Tool Windows Bar
Try going to Tools->Android->Enable ADB Integration
In my case it got automagically disabled
In my case, I see the window, but no messages in it.
Only restart (studio version 1.5.1) brought the messages back.
File ——> Project Settings ——> Facets + Andorid then apply
OK！
I hope you have installed the required drivers for debugging android programs on your machine. If that is the case, when you run an application from android studio in an actual device, it will pop up a message asking to enable logcat. If you have disabled that option, then you can enable the logcat view from Window menu -> Show view -> Logcat. Next time when you run your application on actual device or in an emulator, you can see the logcat is active.
If you are not able to view it with the above solution, you can view the logcat from command line by typing
adb logcat
