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 having a problem with my Android Studio. This is the first time that I installed Android Studio. The problem is that when I install any device it comes up with a grey background around the device or the emulator, I don't know if it has any thing to do with the latest Android Studio version, cause I have updated it, and the toolbar is at the top of the emulator instead of being at the top right of the device.
The first picture is how I want it to be, and the second picture is what appears when I open Android Studio and run my app on the device (emulator).
In the second picture you have the emulator floated or windowed:
In order to get the emulator in a "separate" window go to Preferences -> Tools -> Emulator and uncheck Launch in a tool window:
Here is the documentation.
Here is how to open the Android Studion Emulator in a separate window.
Open Settings from File -> Settings...
Select Tools -> Emulator and uncheck Launch in a tool window
There is a better idea to open as it opens in an older version of Android Studio.
If you open any project then close it. Open Virtual Device Manager.
It will look like this image
If you run it before opening any project then you will get a separate window emulator as it looks earlier. It will behave like a separate application. If you close the Android studio also it will remain open. You can close it manually.
I was creating a flutter project, but I want to run my AVD in the android studio window itself, I already select the option in "Settings-> Tools-> Emulator" and check the option that says "Launch in a tool windows" but it still executes me regardless of the emulator.
I've already done several unsuccessful searches, does anyone have any ideas?
---Updated-----
Create a project in normal java and there if that window appears I think it is a problem in flutter or something similar.
Finally! This is the solution Android Studio 4.1+ emulator sidebar?
Go to File->Project Structure->Modules and add Android Framework and Apply.
Automatically displays Emulator Menu in Right Panel!
Try File-> Project Structure-> Modules and add Android and Apply.
In this doc.
Click File > Settings > Tools > Emulator (or Android Studio >
Preferences > Tools > Emulator on macOS), then select Launch in a
tool window and click OK.
In Your case:
If the Emulator window didn't automatically appear, open it by
clicking View > Tool Windows > Emulator.
Start your virtual device using the AVD Manager or by targeting it
when running your app.
EDIT:
AVD Manager > Actions Setting > Cool Boot Now
It directly forces start your emulator.
Go to File->Project Structure->Modules. Click on the + (Plus) icon on the top middle and add Android then OK.
Tested on Android Studio 2020.3.1 patch 4. Should work the same on other releases
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
You can view more information from here http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html
What happens is that when I Run my Android Application, Eclipse opens another AVD with the same name that I am using.
Couldn't it only install my app in the current AVD?
just check it.
Right click on project -> Run As -> Run Configration -> Target -> Always Prompt to pick device -> apply ->Run
Go to Windows->Show View->Others->Android->Devices and check whether your emulator is visible or not.
If it is visible then just click on it to get focus and if it is not visible then from your Devices option do Reset adb.
