I've recently updated to Android Studio 4. There are some things I noticed that changed from the previous version. Does everyone have these changes or is there a way to go back to the old UI?
For example the "Select Icon" menu now looks like that:
Select Icon UI
It used to be way more organized.
Another example would be the "New Java Class" UI
New Java Class
I used to be able to extend classes directly while creating a new class.
Did you also get these changes?
Android Studio 4.0.1
Build #AI-193.6911.18.40.6626763, built on June 25, 2020

In Android Studio 4.0.1 everyone has these changes in the UI
If you want to back to the old UI you can download a version older than 4.0.1 for example 3.6 from Android Studio Download Archive
https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
and you can install it without redownloading SDK
but in my opinion, you should use the latest version because you may need to use MotionLayout any other feature in the future version

my current android application only works as required on my device.
when any of my colleagues build the same github branch the app builds and installs ok however the compose navigation does not work
if i build an apk and distribute it to my team this works fine
we have compared gradle.properties and local.properties for all team members and these are identical to mine.
we are all using the same Android Studio version of

what could be causing this issue?
what config are we missing?
the part of the app that does not work for my colleagues is that the compose navigation does not work, the app employs a backdrop with menu items that allow the user to navigate to other sections of the application. clicking on these menu items only works for me
we resolved this issue by deleting the .idea folder of all my teams Android Studio installations
Followed the instructions as given here - https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/install-preview#change_your_update_channel
There is no dropdown to select the channel. Is there any other way?

You can install the Beta and other version using the Toolbox App. In the Toolbox click three-dots menu -> Other Versions.
The option seems to be missing from Dolphin as well.
For installing Android Studio itself you can use the Toolbox App as suggested by #viachaslau-tysianchuk.
For installing SDK components from canary / dev / beta channels you can use the command line sdkmanager by specifying the --channel flag, like so:
./cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --channel=1 "extras;google;auto"
Note that the cmdline-tools are not installed by default, you should first install them via the old SDK tools or just download from here: https://developer.android.com/studio#cmdline-tools
You can no longer switch channels from within Android Studio as of Chipmunk or Dolphin, instead you need to install the correct preview installer(beta/canary) from https://developer.android.com/studio/preview

Finally after several trials , i simply removed everything and even resets my laptop .. then everything is working fine now after reinstalling java se and android studio
I have recently upgraded Android Studio to this version
Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Patch 3
Build #AI-203.7717.56.2031.7784292, built on October 1, 2021
Runtime version: 11.0.10+0-b96-7281165 x86_64

Since this upgrade, Android Studio constantly stops working correctly...
In as much as it stops code highlighting, code suggestions, compile errors, pretty much everything that makes it a useful IDE stops working.
The only actions I can take to repair this useless state is to either Close and reopen Android Studio or Invalidate Cache and restart Android Studio.
Is there any configuration settings I ned to change/set?
Is there anything I can do to resolve these issues?
This unexpected/unwanted behaviour is having an adverse effect on my teams productivity
Try to increase heap size.
Go to Preferences (Mac Os)/File (Windows) -> Appearence & Behaviour -> Memory Setting.
Check if multiDex is enabled in Gradle
android {
.....
defaultConfig {
............
multiDexEnabled true
}
}
This helped me when I got stuck with the same problem using Android Arctic Fox: I installed Android Bumblebee preview beta and problem disappeared.
I am facing an annoying bug in the newest Android Studio IDE (v4.0)
After the IDE restart(simple restart or after the PC restart, I can find any 100% case to reproduce this bug) sometimes AS starts and opens the project with such bugs:
Project structure becomes collapsed or hidden
Project files are NOT clickable in any case, so I can't close or open any files
Studio shortcuts do not work at all
The top toolbar is missing. (But still, it is shown as enabled in the "View" dropdown menu)
Some AS windows do not open. (For example, I am not able to open "Check For Updates" window)
I tried invalidating caches/restart option, but it makes no sense. The only solution is to delete AS studio(Without or with deleting of the settings), then install the older version of AS and make an update to the latest version of the AS.
If I try to simply delete AS and then install the latest 4.0 version, it will have the same bugs as were before the reinstall. If I want to install 4.0 studio without and older version-update routine, than I need to delete all the AS user settings.
What a hell is going on? Someone else facing this issue? Is there is a workaround for this annoying bug?
