How can a developer remove the default fragment panel text. I have not coded Android since version 2.1. Using Android Studio 3.5. My menu/title page is "Tools to help you grow"; beneath that the panel has "This is tools Fragment" which is dynamically loaded into the AVD Manager device when I test the opening app.
The problem:
How to remove panel text: "This is tools Fragment". I never entered this text anywhere inside the project. My title "Tools to help your grow" is correct and should be on this page.
Since you haven't made in changes in the App's code.
The most simple way to find and remove text is using Ctrl + Shift + F (Find in project path) feature of the android studio.
Search Tools to help you grow this and remove it. Do the same for any other text you want to remove.
TextView.visibility=invisible
I missed this TextView on my initial test. It had TextView.text set to blank, that's why text: "This is tools Fragment" was never visible in the code / xml.
This text is simply specified for Fragments.
You can find this text at
Project > Java > com.yourpackage > ui > home/gallery/slideshow > ViewModels

I am importing an Android application in Eclipse as a Gradle build. The application is build and runs fine. When I try to see the layouts defined in XML I can, but when I switch over to the Graphical Layout I get
The project target is not set. Right click project, choose Properties | Android.
What I did:
Right click Project->Properties to find the Android tab but is not there.(*see picture 3)
On the Graphical Layout there is a switch that is supposed to be pointing to the latest API available. Instead it says: Null(*see first picture)
When I try to change it I get Resource ...... does not exist prompts (*see second picture).
How can I open the XML layouts in the Graphical Layout?
please check whether set SDK location.as follows:
Eclipse -> Preferences -> Android
LEFT click (not Right) and select Android worked for me.
I installed the Android Studio version 0.8.0
and my TAB key in my keyboard does not insert an actual tab in the editor window of Android studio.
But my TAB key in general works fine.
Someone kindly help as i am not able to figure this out.
Thanks.
File > Settings > Project Settings > Code Style - Java
Use tab character
If this check box is selected, tab characters are
used: On pressing the Tab key For indentation For code reformatting
When the check box is cleared, IntelliJ IDEA uses spaces instead of
tabs.
Smart tabs
If this check box is selected, IntelliJ IDEA inserts
tabs for indentation and reformatting, but fine alignment to a
necessary column is done only via spaces without replacing them with
tabs. This is done in order to preserve visual representation of the
source code, when the tab size is changed.
If this check box is cleared, only tabs are used. This means that a group of spaces that
fits the specified tab size is automatically replaced with a tab,
which may result in breaking fine alignment. The Smart Tabs check box
is available if the Use Tab Character check box is selected.
Tab size
In this text box, specify the number of spaces included in a
tab.
You may also need to go to File > Settings > Project Settings > Code Style. XML if the Android xml is giving you the same issue.
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/code-style-java.html
File > Settings > Project Settings > Code Style
And make sure that
Use tab is checked under Code Style
Use tab under Code Style - Java is checked also
Preferably you check "detect and use file indentations for edit" to avoid noise.
I'm using IntelliJ Android-Studio 0.8.2 and i'd like to know if it's possible to open the code by default when editing XML files?
Opening multiple files always shows Design tab, while opening single files, though, it sometimes opens them in Text tab but sometimes not.
Is there any way to set the default tab to Text ? It's pretty annoying as I rarely use the Design tab. Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:
Newer (I guess 2.x+) versions of Android Studio have this option in the main settings:
Open the settings with one of the following actions:
Press Ctrl+Alt+S.
On the main menu, choose File | Settings for Windows and Linux or IntelliJ IDEA | Preferences for OS X
Press Ctrl+Shift+A, type settings and press Enter.
Then navigate to the following sub-menu:
Editor -> Layout Editor -> "Prefer XML editor"
This has been added in the newest release of Android Studio (0.8.12).
Other features of the new release can be found here.
Here is the screen shot of the latest version
Look at the top right corner of the image
UPDATE 2021
Using Android Studio Artic Fox 2020.3.1 it's Design Tools in Settings Menu (CtrlAltS) instead of Layout Editor:
In case of Android Studio 4.0 use Split OR Code button to view it.
Since in the new update, the feature of viewing the code of XML has changed, there are some series of steps that are needed to be followed.
Step 1: Press Ctrl + Alt + S (Basically opening settings)
Step 2:Click on the layout editor and choose the default Editor mode as you wish. In my case I want it to be in split mode (You will be able to see both code and its output at the same screen or window).
Step 3: Click on Apply and OK.
Step 4: Close all the opened XML or the design files . Now after this step , if you open any other file present at your project, you would be realizing that the mode in which the file is opened is at the mode you chose at the Step 2 .
Mac
Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > Layout Editor
change to the view as per your desire.
Also you can switch between views Using Cmd + Shift + Left/Right Arrow
In the new Android Studio 4.1 this option is somewhat changed to :
To access this visit
Android Studio -> Preference from the menu bar search for design and select layout editor and change the mode to your desired one.
Thanks
The Android Designer editor always opens files in the "Design" mode by default. Once you have it open you can switch to "Text" mode and it will retain that setting for that file. However, there's no option to have it default to opening XML files in "Text" mode.
How can I enable the text/design Tab on the a src/main/res/layout folder on the activity_main.xml file that was created automatically during create new project? If i do right click and create xml file on the said folder, the design/text tab exist. Any suggestion? Thanks.
No Text/Design Tab on the Bottom Part of the Android Studio
Creating a new XML in the Res/Layout Folder, the design/text tab is now present.
Any help? this is super weird guys...
In Android Studio 3.6 use these three buttons (Code | Split | Design), on top right, to switch between views.
I had the same problem, restarting the IDE did make that tab appear again.
On Android Studio 3.6.1
Top Right corner under the main toolbar you have three different icons (Code, Split, Design).
View -> Tool windows -> Preview .
Output view:
use the three buttons (Code|Split|Design)on top right hand side to switch between views.
I also had this problem after upgrading to 1.5. None of the above suggestions worked for me. I noticed that the default relative layout xml has changed with a third xmlns line and an app behavior line. I opened an older project and copied the old relative layout header to replace the new. Instantly the preview function was restored.
You can also Move between Design / Text tabs in layout’s view with simple shortcut:
(Mac) : control + shift + ← / →
(Windows / Linux): alt + shift + ← / →
On the top right corner of the activity_main.xml file view, there are 3 icons representing "Code", "Split" and "Design". Click on the leftmost icon of the three ("Code") for the text tab.
In the android Studio window, at the left side there are two options available(Project and Resource Manager). Go to resource and there you will see an ADD Module option, click on that. After this you will see your text and design option will get enabled, you can go to your work area by Project Name->app ->src ->main->res ->layout.
Yes, Even I had the same problem. For the first time... I think It wont show, restarting the IDE did make that tab appear again.
I had this problem too, I deleted all the preference files, such as the AndroidStudioPreview folder & com.google.android.studio.plist, then restarted android studio, it worked.
You do not need to restart an IDE. All you need is to close an xml file that does not get a tab and reopen it within an editor. It is a little bug.
Navigate to activity_main.xml tab then Design and Text tab appears.
It doesn't appear in MainActivity.java tab.
You do not need to restart IDE.
If text/design tab is missing in new android studio, this can solve by two methods.
You have re-install android studio. And don't forget to delete android studio related all files from temp and local.
Or you can re-install SDK (software development kit) according to your device.
I dont know what happend, but i lost the Graphical Layout Window of the XML Layout that we are using in Eclipce to design the Android Application.
I want that Design window back.
I can see the xml code and every thing. . . But i want the Design Editor that is available as by default in the Eclipse after integration of the Android in it.
So how to get it back ???
No one has answered my question, but by searching on Eclipse I got the answer:
I have to right click on the XML code layout and then select Open With Layout Editor. It will show me the Graphical Layout Editor for my Application and now I am able to see the graphical view on the XML layout files.
Do you not see the "Graphical Layout" tab on the bottom of the open xml file?
Just follow this pattern : Package Explorer ---> res --> Layout ---> activity_main.XML Open activity_main.XML
if you are using the dark juno color theme the tabs at the bottom don't show up.
change back to one of the original color themes and poof they're back.
In Eclipse,just click check for updates and after that it will restart the eclipse and now u can see the graphical layout,the problem was in ADT plugin only.
If you want to open all the xml files in layout editor, go to Preferences->general->editor->FIle associations
Change the default editor in the selections
For me, after reading endless non-viable solutions (including remove and re-import the project, click the 'open with...' menu and the like) the solution was stupidly simple. I was opening the project with the standard Eclipse studio. The solution was to open Eclipse via the ADT bundle directory, that is the version of the Eclipse studio packaged and installed with the Android ADT. Using THAT shortcut to Eclipse, an Android project opens and runs (and edits) as a native Android project using appropriate Android tools.
The answer is to right-click and select open DEFAULT Editor...Then on bottom of editor two tabs will change on the lower right. Click on Graphical Editor.
Resolved installation ADT http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/installing-adt.html
This contain all preview layout and XML editor
You can also, in the project explorer on the left, go to res, layout and double click on activity_main.xml
