Android Studio: how to show author of just selected line - android

I noticed a pretty feature in Visual Studio Code (don't know if it's due to the GitLens extension): when I'm editing a line I can see the GIT annotation of that line including author, time of last edit and commit message.
This is quite cool, since it does not take a big amount of space as the "annotations" pane that you can enable in Android Studio. It's fast, easy, straightforward.
My question is: is there any Android Studio extension, as far as you know, allowing a similar visualization?
Thank you
Marco

I managed to get the same in Android studio by using a plugin called GitToolBox

You can right click besides line number (Left side strip where we put breakpoints) in Android studio code and check annotate option.
OR
You can right click in code file, then select Git option and then select annotate option.

SOLUTION
You can try this by right clicking on a place where to add debug break point

How to show error/warning marks in Android Studio scroll bar (like Eclipse)?

I apologize in advance if it is a duplicate topic, but I did not find a direct answer in any other.
Android Studio does not display marks (on the scroll bar) by referencing error/warning/occurences in the code. Is there any way to make it show?
I have not used Android Studio for a long time and I get lost because in Eclipse this is a basic functionality. So in files with many lines of code it becomes complicated to see the locations of the code where there are errors or occurrences.
In Android Studio it looks like this:
In Eclipse like this:
Is it possible to make Android Studio behave similarly to Eclipse? If not, is there any friendlier way to see the error/warnings/occurrences marks?
Thanks for any help.

Items Don't Display in Android Studio Blueprint or Design

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"

Strange Lint-errors in Android project

since I updated my Android SDK today I get some strange Lint errors in my project. The activity contains amongst others a textview. Everything works fine, but if I want to change the text size of the view within the code with .setTextSize(float size), I get in other lines (and also other independent methods) errors that a call requires a certain API level. But that are calls like string.isEmpty(), which is available since API level 1.
What am I missing? And I know, I can set the text size also in the xml-file, but I want to change it during runtime.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Best regards

I think I got into something similar some time ago (nonsense Lint errors)...
Are you working with Eclipse?
If so, you can try the following:
Restart Eclipse
Clean your project (Project->clean...)
Click the button "Runs Android Lint..." (it's in the toolbar, between the "Virtual device manager" and the "new project wizard")
I don't remember exactly what did I do to solve the problem, I hope it works though
Good luck!
With the latest release, I've had a few times where the lint errors were just incorrect. (missing semicolon on a line with a semicolon, etc).
In such cases, you can right-click on lint error warning, or on the numberings on the left side, and select "Clear All Lint Markers".
This will allow you to compile the file once, and if that works, Lint seems to start acting normally again.

Android: Graphical Layout not working - doesn't show anything

My situation is: I once made an android project(2.2 version) but soon needed to format my computer. After formatting, I downloaded eclipse again but when I imported my project, I wasn't able to use the 'graphical layout' menu for xml. It doesn't show me anything like the picture below.

I cleaned the project and updated the Android SDK, however, none of these seemed to work well. What could be causing this?
Try restarting Eclipse. Usually that solves the problem for me when that happens.
Right click on your layout xml file and select Open With -> Android Layout Editor. It will force eclipse to open file in android's layout editor mode
None of above worked for me. what worked for me is:
1- Select a Google APIs Project Build Target rather than one of the Android X.X ones. This setting is in right click on project -> Properties->Android.
2- Make a change in XML and save it. Now switch back to "Graphical Layout" and it will show the layout.
For some, only 2nd step works.
This Question was asked 3 year ago, I am sure that you have get your solution, however i was also facing the same problem but got the solution in eclipse, here it is:-
1)Goto help->AboutEclipse->Installation details.
2)check the version of Android DDMS, Android development tool, Android hierarchy viewer, Android native development tool, Android trace view and tracer for openGl ES in installed software tab.
3)If they have different version than you have to update all of them.
4)Goto help->check for update in eclipse and follow the instruction.
5)Then restart eclipse.
This solve my problem.
The topic seems a little bit cold, but I wanted to add it nonetheless.
I had a similar problem with my layouts recently. When i create a project it automatically creates the layouts in the latest version of Android (eclipse shows it as version 22 of android as of today). But i can't see anything. So i just change the version to, say 18, and it shows ok. Furthermore if i want to change it back to version 22 it throws and exception, saying that a class can't be instantiated. (I am probably missing a class or a library on my system.)
Therefore if you cant see the layout it might be a good idea to switch back to earlier versions for development. cheers.

Eclipse: How to limit displayed errors/warnings to currently open files?

I'm just getting started with eclipse and android development. One thing which is driving me crazy in eclipse is the problems panel with error/warning messages. It displays errors and warning from every project that I have added to eclipse. I only want to see feedback from the project (or ideally individual file) that I am currently working on).
For example, I have two android projects added to my eclipse workspace: HelloAndroid (a sample app) and SMSTest (an SMS2Toast example). Even with no files open, I see warning messages from both projects! Why is this!?! I shouldn't see any output unless I actually have a file open...or is this just the way eclipse works? Should I be using a different workspace for each project?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
This will get mostly what you want:
Open the "Problems" view (Shift-Alt-X-Q)
In the right hand corner there is a drop down arrow
Select "Configure contents"
Then pay attention to the "Scope" options
I also highly recommend in that same menu "Group by" -> Java problem type.
Right-click the unwanted projects and click "Close Project" you shouldn't get notifications from them at that point.
Other than that I'd recommend fixing most errors before moving away from them. If you're not prepared to complete various functions at any given time just put a stub in them that satisfies conditions with a quick //TODO: statement telling you to fix it later.
If you're talking about working on a page in general and the errors are combersome and annoying then try double-clicking on the tab for the file you're coding (above the code window) and it should become "fullscreen" hiding the other portions of eclipse.
As far as I know, this is the way eclipse works. It makes sense in that if you make a change in one file, and it causes a compilation error in another file that you don't have open you would still want to know about it.
You CAN configure which situations are considered WARN, and which are IGNORE in Preferences > Java > Compiler > Errors/Warnings.
Also, if you only want warnings from one project you can CLOSE the other project, which would keep you from having to reconfigure a new workspace for each.
