After updating Android studio to version 3.1.2 an issue popped up where the preview image is, pixelated/blurry. Can anyone help me fix this issue?
This is how the image is rendered
I have encountered the same problem in Android Studio 3.3 but fortunately I've managed to find a solution. You have to go to "Help" and click on "Edit Custom Properties". It might ask you to generate a file if it doesn't already exist. Once this properties file is made, you will need to write "hidpi=false" (no quotations). Save it and restart Android Studio. When you open it again , you still need to do one thing: go to File then Settings, type font in search box, select font from editor then change the size of font to 15. (or what ever size you prefer). That's all.
I'm not sure weather it will work for your scenario. I had a issue with icon pixels and I followed this.
I hope it will help you.
Create a drawable-xxhdpi directory and add all your images in that and try.
NOTE : I'm not sure that this process helps you or not.
link help you to create drawable-xxhdpi directory
I'm having the same problem and it is somehow annoying i opened a bug ticket and i will wait for there response here is the ticket link : https://issuetracker.google.com/110463869
I solve this problem pretty easy after learning documentation.
You need to change your scale display parameter. Because Android Studio supports only certain scale. Use 100% or 200% and your design tab in Android will be sharp again

I have recently updated Android Studio 3.4 to 3.5 which fixes things. Now, what happened is in 3.4 version I could able to make my image background transparent which selecting shape none. Now I could not able to do that in 3.5 version.
Please help me to fix this problem.
Thank you
My step to solve this situation.
Access : https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/index.html
Go to Launcher Icon Generator
Select image and switch shape to None
You'll got transparent image asset
Download and copy to your Android Studio Res Folder
enter image description here1
You can select the same thing in android studio 3.5, just make sure to choose the proper Icon type as shown below:
so I'm trying out Android Studio for the first time, and I've already run into something. I'm following the official "first application" tutorial on developer.android.com, but it's not matching up. So, I tested this with two apps, and it wasn't like a bug in the first one exclusively, it happened in both. Here's a pic of an app where nothing has been changed and I followed the tutorial exactly:
As you can see in the hierarchy, it is supposed to have the Hello World text that displays when you make a new app. However, with me not changing anything, it's not showing up.
Any ideas?
Also to clarify, the items do show up when I run it on my device, it just doesn't show up on the computer.
Check the upper right corner of the Preview screen, you should see a red warning mark. Click on that and it will tell what is preventing Android Studio from rendering your layout.
Some times android studio stuck or something.Try doing
File->Invalidate Caches/Restart
The best solution is
Clean Project
Rebuild Project
In your style.xml file change the string parent with the below line:
parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"
Not sure where to post this issue I have with Android Studio IDE, I hope it can be answered here.
When I open the Asset Studio in Android Studio by right clicking on my Android Module and selecting new -> Image Asset I cannot get past the first screen. Even when I leave this default, when I try and press next the Asset Window start shaking shortly after a second or two.
I encountered this problem with a prior version of Android Stuido but an update to the latest version did not help.
I tried updating the android SDK and build tools since they are obviously related but without success.
I tried restarting Android Studio but the "bug" still remains.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong, I created a video of my workflow and the issue I am encountering.
I had the same problem.
In the Legacy tab, I set the Google Play Store Icon to No and I could pass the first screen.
I had exactly the same problem while I was trying to create adaptive icon from vector graphics.
What helped me was that I need to set Size to 108 dp x 108 dp when I imported Vector Asset (res -> right click -> New -> Vector Asset).
I have faced the same issue with vectors that had a dashed line. Android Studio doesn't support dashed-strokes by default. You can check what is not supported in this link Dashes stroke-dasharray in Android Vector. So in such cases Android Studio just doesn't show any error upfront.
In your case I see its happening even for normal vectors.
To check why its failing notice every time it fails the exclamation mark at the extreme bottom right of Android Studio turns red and flashes. Just close pop up window of Android Studio and click on the red exclamation mark. It will give you the reason why its failing. Although there was nothing much I could do about it maybe you can figure out whats wrong.
I know it's been answered but here's another thing that might fix someone else's problem when adding an asset and getting the weird shaky window error: check the asset dimensions you're importing.
I was trying to add a Vector Asset with dimensions about 23dp x 1077dp (really big height and small width), and for some reason Android Studio didn't accept it. After changing it to a dimension bigger than 170dp x 8137.3dp (it scales automatically) it worked. Then I went on the .xml file and changed it to a dimension I wanted, preserving the proportion of mostly 200dp in width or height as prompted by Lint in a warning.
I don't really know why it worked but I managed to add the asset. If anyone knows it, feel free to explain.
Steps:
1) Have you tried setting it manually through file explorer/directories etc.?
2) Maybe try a drawable importer? Like this.
3) Have a look at this answer, it might help.
4) Try completely uninstalling Android Studio, re-download and install again, if all else fails.
As per your project structure, I believe this is not a native application.
That's right, Flutter projects are not Android projects. Many Android tools are enabled only for projects that have an Android facet. Adding that to Flutter projects causes many problems, so we don't do that and this functionality available for only in native android application.
Furthermore,If you want to use may be it'll help you.
Open android studio File->Open folder->navigate to your flutter project and select the Android folder. Wait for it to sync, then navigate inside the Android studio folder and find the res folder right click on it and choose New you will see the Image asset studio.
This happened to me and the problem was that the dimensions of my source image were too small, which I think is the takeaway from all the other answers as well.
In my case the issue was caused by some unusual project structure, including some source directories added manually within the module.
The only solution was to create a new sample project in Android Studio, use the Asset Editor, generate all the assets to finally copy those to my "unusual" project.
One could also read the IDE (Android Studio) logs to see exception that are being thrown when the editor windows shakes as it's described by the Author of this thread.
I can't switch to design editing in android studios when i want to edit the xml file of the layout file. There are no button for changing to text or design on the bottom of the codes. Screenshot of android studios
Can someone help me fix the problem?
I had the same issue. Where the 'design/text' tabs were missing.
I had switched to the dark theme and thought maybe that was the issue, so went back to Preferences / Appearance (under IDE Settings) switched back to Default Theme, and that reset everything correctly for me.
I could also then switch again to Dracula theme and the tabs were still there, so seems like switching themes is a way to reset the IDE windows/tabs.
Try to restart the IDE .It may be helpful to show the design /Text tab..
Follow these steps:
View -> Tool Windows -> Preview
Same question was answered here: Where is Android Studio layout preview?
If it didn't help, try methods mentioned here: Android Studio "design tab" missing
From your screenshot, change the code tree from Package to Android as bellow link may help.
See screenshot here...
Hope this will solve your problem :)
As of today in July 2022, here are the actions I have taken:
Look for the device manager icon
Choose your option to add a device (virtual or physical)
In case of a virtual device select the screen size and download it. In the case of a physical device, you have to pair it whether by wifi or QR code scan.
Can anyone please explain why the draw9patch isn't on my computer despite ADT and all? A search after the jar-file doesn't give any result.
I believed it should be installed by default. AFAIK, nobody else has had this problem.
Can anyone help? I've tried making 9 patches on my own using Paint.NET by adding one black pixel to the left and top of the image, but as I am new to Android, I can't make it work. I even tried a utility called better9patch to no avail. I am getting quite frustrated right now as I think the graphics of a program should be the least of your concern when programming.
Infact, the popular draw9patch application is now available as a feature in the android studio application itself. If you try to open any files with a .9.png extension in your project, it will be opened in a 9 patch drawer perspective. Here is a screenshot.
You should download "draw9patch" folowing this link: https://androidstudio.io/downloads/tools/download-the-latest-version-of-draw9patch.jar.html.
Afterwards you extract the file and it will work.
open up your terminal navigate to sdk/tools. and type
chmod +x draw9patch
./draw9patch
hope it can fixed.
You can use Android Asset Studio
Simple nine-patch generator. This is web application.
A collection of tools to easily generate assets such as launcher icons
for your Android app.
Project page: https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/
The program should be under android-sdk/tools/draw9patch. If you want to create the image manually, you need 1px-wide transparent border all around the image with black dots on those empty spaces to denote patches
