This question been bugging me since the release of the built-in emulator tab.
How to make it appear? Like, enforce it.
Because it just seems to appear whenever. I work mainly with Flutter projects and some projects just open and there it is. Other projects don't have the emulator tab so I have to run it in a separate window like it used to be. There are no options anywhere - it either "is" or not. I want consistency and I like it being a tab. How to enable it once and for all? Is it possible?
Solution is quite simple, if I don't see emulator in my Flutter project, I check in File->Project Structure, see picture.
There has to be an "Android" module, if there is none, just add it from a '+' menu, that's all, the Emulator tab will appear.

I'm creating an Android app in Visual Studio. When I create the aligned APK to side load on my device (from the Tools -> Android -> Publish Android App), it installs and runs, but doesn't seem to have the very latest changes. The series of events I've experienced is as follows:
Installed a version of the app on my device
Updated a color on the login page and set the application theme (among other things)
Re-installed the app
Saw the new theme but not the new color on the login page
Made a random text change on the login page as a test
Re-installed the app
Saw the color change but not the random text change?!
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
I have experienced similar issues, my go to for fixing this issue has been the following
Clean all projects.
Build all projects (especially the project containing the xcml files).
Delete (remove application) from the device.
If for some reason this doesn't solve the problem, typically a full restart of Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio does.
I have a similar weird problem where old code from only a single project doesn't get updated. All other projects do get updated/deployed. It only happens on a single emulator, only in Debug mode, and only for that one project.
Cleaning+rebuilding the entire solution did not work. However, telling VS to rebuild the individual project does.
Why doesn't rebuilding the solution rebuild the project? I have no freakin' clue, but I can consistently reproduce this issue and workaround.
In my case, I had a similar problem with connected device, and no one proposed solution like Clean\Rebuild\Restart\Reinstall\etc could help me.
At the same time on the AVD everything worked perfectly, latest code deployed ok.
I found that asked issue depended on selected settings in the [USB Developer] section on the connected device (mine was Xiaomi smartphone). Because some vendors provide us with too many security settings...
What I found, you have to turn on both USB Debugging & USB debugging (Security settings), and turn off MIUI Optimization (it's true for Xiaomi vendor, but you can check your device for similar options). Hope this helps.
I am new to Android Studio IDE. I was very accustomed to the Eclipse IDE and now everything seems hard to accomplish with Android Studio. One of the things which bothering me is the documentation auto popup in the settings. The popups are always overlapping the parameters info. which are important.
Does anybody know how to solve this or if it's possible at all to have the 2 options.
I've already tried changing the delays in the settings but the it's the same result.
Example image:
Go to File > Settings or do Ctrl+Alt+S
Under Editor > General
Uncheck Show quick documentation on mouse move
I installed Mono for Android with the intention of using Visual Studio 2010 to design android apps. I am able to compile and deploy applications, but I am not able to view the layout designer. When I double click on an .axml file it opens in source view and there is no context menu option such as "View in designer." I am able to use MonoDevelop to create the layout, but I shouldn't have to do that.
Here are some screen caps:
Any tips?
It seems to simple but right clicking on the Main.axml in Visual Studio and select and choose Open with. Then select Android Designer should do the trick.
Despite that Android Designer can be set as Default it appears not to be working like that. I should say that's a BUG in VS and/or Monofor Android.
Are you shure to have the latest Mono for Android installed? (Version 4.2.4)
The Open With Dialog should have an entry "Android Designer".
Select this now and click "Set as Default".
Did a full uninstall, reinstall and reboot.
At first it didn't seem to have fixed it - my existing hello world project still wouldn't open the designer.
I tried creating a new project and ta-da all good now! Very odd.
I've very pleased to have gui designer. It really helps level the learning curve when learning a new platform - nice work Xamarin.
I did 3 installs until it finally took. I uninstalled then reinstalled and it still didn't work. I then just did a repair and it finally worked. Just keep reinstalling and you'll get it.
My situation is: I once made an android project(2.2 version) but soon needed to format my computer. After formatting, I downloaded eclipse again but when I imported my project, I wasn't able to use the 'graphical layout' menu for xml. It doesn't show me anything like the picture below.

I cleaned the project and updated the Android SDK, however, none of these seemed to work well. What could be causing this?
Try restarting Eclipse. Usually that solves the problem for me when that happens.
Right click on your layout xml file and select Open With -> Android Layout Editor. It will force eclipse to open file in android's layout editor mode
None of above worked for me. what worked for me is:
1- Select a Google APIs Project Build Target rather than one of the Android X.X ones. This setting is in right click on project -> Properties->Android.
2- Make a change in XML and save it. Now switch back to "Graphical Layout" and it will show the layout.
For some, only 2nd step works.
This Question was asked 3 year ago, I am sure that you have get your solution, however i was also facing the same problem but got the solution in eclipse, here it is:-
1)Goto help->AboutEclipse->Installation details.
2)check the version of Android DDMS, Android development tool, Android hierarchy viewer, Android native development tool, Android trace view and tracer for openGl ES in installed software tab.
3)If they have different version than you have to update all of them.
4)Goto help->check for update in eclipse and follow the instruction.
5)Then restart eclipse.
This solve my problem.
The topic seems a little bit cold, but I wanted to add it nonetheless.
I had a similar problem with my layouts recently. When i create a project it automatically creates the layouts in the latest version of Android (eclipse shows it as version 22 of android as of today). But i can't see anything. So i just change the version to, say 18, and it shows ok. Furthermore if i want to change it back to version 22 it throws and exception, saying that a class can't be instantiated. (I am probably missing a class or a library on my system.)
Therefore if you cant see the layout it might be a good idea to switch back to earlier versions for development. cheers.
I'm working with Eclipse Helios on Android app and found that when constructing UI I'm not able to use common Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. Using RMB+Paste works fine. However I'm also not able to paste using Eclipse menu -> Edit, where "Paste" is just disabled.
Please advice..
I'm also developing in Eclipse Helios, i just use RMB+Coby and RMB+Paste ?
But when you should paste something in again, you need to RMB the view where the copied items should go..
Does that work for you ?
