I recently updated Android Studio and the update included some new features for Layout Inspector. There is now a live updates checkbox that seems to be turned ON by default when running the debugger. Unfortunately, my app slows down to a crawl while this is active so I need to check off the feature every time after the app starts, which is a lot. I would like to know if there is a setting to keep live updates off by default instead of on. Thank you!
You can disable Live Layout Inspector by unchecking the Enable Live Layout Inspector box under the Layout Inspector header in the Experimental section. Screenshot of Android Studio Preferences
Note: I'm currently on Android Studio 4.1-RC version and have no elected to update to the latest stable version so the exact details may change depending on what A.S. version you're on.

Currently, you can't use the emulator's extended controls when it's running in a tool window. If your development workflow depends heavily on the extended controls, continue to use the Android Emulator as a standalone application. In addition, certain virtual devices—such as Android TV and foldable devices—can't be run in Android Studio because they have specialized UI requirements or important functions in the extended controls.
It seems like Android Studio doesn't allow more to use the legacy Layout Inspector (without live updates), but that one was extremely useful.
I get it, the new one has live updates, but the connection time to the process is slow, sometimes it even restarts the activity if you don't have the non restart activity flag enabled. And personally I rarely need the live updates, I only need to inspect whatever screen I'm seeing at the moment.
Does anybody know if is possible to use the legacy layout inspector without going to a prior version of Android Studio to current stable (Arctic Fox)?
This button should disable live updates
I also have issues with the new Layout Inspect for my React Native app, whether live updates are off or on. However, the new Android Studio (my Android Studio's version is Chipmunk|2021.2.1) cannot turn off "Enable Live Layout Inspector" in the settings, Google has removed this setting. But I found that in the Keymap settings, you can set shortcut keys to Legacy Layout Inspector, and then use Legacy Layout Inspector through shortcut keys. Thank Google for not removing this feature outright.
i have android studio 4.1.3 and i'm wondering if it has a setting that i can change so i can see debug in real time. I'm currently using visual studio which tells me in console where i'm wrong as i'm typing. I'm typing the code in vs and then pasting into android studio but it's getting tiresome especially if i have a lot of screens. Is there an easy way that i'm missing? And yes i have tried to google the question already so please don't tell me to google.
Unfortunately, android Studio does not currently have a live debug feature.
You do have a debug option on the top right corner of the screen if you need it.
The closest thing to what i was looking for is the "Dart Analysis". It's located at the very bottom next to the "terminal" button. I've tested and i see if i change something, it immediately notifies me in the "Dart Analysis window"
This week I updated Android Studio till 4.0 version.
Its new LayoutInspector certainly has many useful features, it's great!
but in previous versions of Android Studio i had the opportunity to open a few tabs of different screens using layout inspector.
Does anybody know how to do it in Android Studio 4.0?
Because now in version 4.0 LayoutIspector has another view in separate window and no any tabs.
Thank you very much!
Finally i've figured out my problem.
In fact Live Layout Inspector of version 4.0 provides complete information about app's UI structure and hierarchy for emulator/device with API level 29 or higher.
But if you need the previous version's view of Layout Inspector, then you just have to disable Live Layout Inspector:
File -> Settings -> Experimental, and check the box next to Disable Live Layout Inspector.
I can't see "Android" line inside my menu like screenshot(this screenshot from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu4U8XKmJGA).

This feature is being implemented but isn't released yet. It's something that Google was showing in the demo as a preview of a future feature. I don't have a bug you can look at to track the progress of it, and the feature isn't yet even checked into source control.
