Android Studio: Place logcat below debug window - android

Does anyone know if it's possible to place the logcat-window below the debug-window in android studio ?
Placing the logcat and debugging-window next to each other is no solution, there's too little space. My solution is to place the logcat-window above the code editor, but I don't like that arrangement.

Desired state:
Greetings!

I've tried to do it as well and I couldn't.
My "solution" when I need that configuration is to remove the logcat from AndroidStudio window using the "Floating Mode", and using a configuration with my Windows Manager "BetterSnapTool" this is the result. Not exactly what you and I wanted but it works for me. I hope this helps you.

How to remove floating code section from Android Studio?

For some reason a weird floating code section started to appear sometimes inside the Android Studio code window (selected in red):
Has anyone encountered this thing? Knows what it is? And how do I get rid of it?
This happens when you hover over a collapsed code lines, it shows what's inside. I think it disappears once you move the mouse pointer away from that area.
Restarting Android Studio worked for me. Not sure of a quicker fix.

How to refresh preview on Android Studio 2.2?

Now on Android Studio 2.2 on new Preview mode, there are no more refresh button:
Image 1: Preview on Android Studio 2.2 (without refresh button)
Image 2: Preview on Android Studio 2.1 (with refresh button)
Does anyone know how to display it again? Or with shortcut maybe?
Edit: If I change a drawable by example and that the change does not appear in the layout, the only method that works for me is closed and restart the project. If I close the layout and as I re-opens nothing happens. Same result using the "Synchronized" button.
Refresh feature is not removed, it is there; It's pretty simple to refresh:
Click on the preview screen to make sure preview window has the focus and press R. It should display the progress in the right-top corner while refreshing.
If it doesn't work for any reason, switch to design tab and press R, it refreshes the layout instantly.
I think it is a small bug. But I find a hack solution to resolve the problem, you can modify the a resource id to a wrong name, for example, you have a resource named 'ic_launcher', when you input 'ic_launcher1', you can find the interface like that:
next step, click refresh icon(sometimes it is 'clear cache' label). it is works for me.
I have try to change the orientation, but it not works when I replace a exist image file.
May your problem is same as : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39646639/android-studio-2-2-layout-editor-refresh-button
Display again?
I guess you cant. Apparently the refresh functionality has been removed because they think the processing will happen much faster and will auto-refresh the previews real time. The Layout Editor's document has no mention of refresh functionality.
Shortcut?
If you are faster in making changes to your layout than Android-studio refreshes, you could try toggling between the design and blueprint views using the shortcut B
Refer the Layout Editor Official Documentation for other shortcuts you might feel comfortable with or works for you.
So do the Simple Step. When you change your layout then save it and clean your project.
go to menu Build -> Clean Project.
I Hope this will help you.
There is no refresh button in stable version of android studio 2.2 for preview. But there is a work around to do so. By toggling the orientation button in an editor will refreshes the changes!
I too had the same Problem , sometimes changing the Android Version worked
and it'll sure work if you clean/Rebuild the project
Find the double diagonal lines below your preview layout and click them. It will refresh your layout.

Android Studio not showing any errors?

I don't know what happened
but when i copy paste a code or write something
No Errors were shown
See the picture below in which i copied a code but no imports yet
But Android studio doesn't show any error.
Even when i Ctr + Alt + O It doesn't imports anything
Is their any setting to get it back or anything else?
I already tried updating all available updates
Sounds like you may be in power save mode. Check it on the File menu, just above Exit. While in power save, code inspection is disabled.
To get code inspection running again, you can either: 1) exit power saver mode, or 2) run inspection manually with Inspect Code... on the Analyze menu.
On the right side, click on the smiling face and pull the progress bar at the right:
I fix this problem by reset setting: File > Manage IDE Settings > Restore Default Settings.
After reinstall plugins, I realized that butter knife plugin was the problem
Clean your Project and press ALT + ENTER for import into android studio
in logcat view
try to remove any filter or filter by your application
Click on bottom right corner icon in android studio and uncheck the Power Save Mode
On the right bottom side, click on the user face and uncheck the power Save Mode.
For me none of the ones above helped.
I found the solution by doing this.
Analyze --> Inspect Code... --> Check - "Whole Project"
Also if this doesnt work out. Check if one of your classes need to implement some methods and the compiler is not recognizing that.
Try also:
Code --> Implement Methods...
go to this path => C:\Users\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins
find => Groovy_Console_Plugin_8542.zip
check it is extracted if not then => extract hear
then you will get result
note: check your Highlighting level (inspection level) is on syntax
Just remove the ./gradle folder and then relaunch Android Studio to download/install the Gradle automatically.
Invalidate caches and restart helped me
What fixed mine in Android Studio V. 2022.1.1 Canary 3 was that I had "none" selected for the highlighting which showed up as "OFF" in the top-right corner of the code box:
Clicking on that popup box that was now there:
And I noticed it said "Highlight None". clicking on that blue link gave me 3 options:
Selecting the "All Problems" brought me to this stats popup box:
Once that was done doing its thing I was finally presented with errors in my code! (which really isn't good but its good in this step-by-step guide):
On your right side , theres are colored squares next to the page scroll. Typee on the red square to see the error.
Following worked for me:
While opening a new project, be sure you connect your system with power,
restart and then enable safe mode and when the settings pop up
set the check for compile if not checked.
Good Luck

Unable to drag UI elements to Android layout Eclipse

I am having trouble getting Eclipse 4.2 to work with the latest Android SDK. When I try to drag any of the UI elements from the palette onto the Graphical Layout of the XML, or onto the outline view, nothing happens. Same is true when I try to drag existing elements in a relative layout. I am able to use the XML for the layout but not the designer.
I am also not able to close tabs using the x icon, I have to right click then go to close.
I have tried using Eclipse 3.7, same problem.
Thanks in advance for the help.
The emulator might be running. Try closing the emulator and drag ....it should work !
Hello I am assume that into your XML file, You can not see the graphical layout.
I have also face the same problem when I import the project from the workspace, that time simply close the project and again open the project.It works for me.
And for more Information see this LINK
Finally solved by re-downloading eclipse
Check your XML for warnings displayed as little yellow exclamation marks like this one:
Although my code was running fine this prevents any drag and drop.
Try cleaning the project and run it again. this worked for me.

Android, drawable editor doesn't show anything, How to activate it?

I have problem with activation of graphical layout. I want to see what I have done in XML, but graphical layout doesn't show any thing.
Also in res/layout, I right clicked on each XML files then went to "Open with/Legacy android drawable editor". Still nothing!
How can I activate it?
Thanks
I have met the same problem sometimes,but close and reopen the file and it was ok,I just don't know why...
What views are you trying to display in the graphical layout? The graphical layout is meant, in general, for basic android widgets/views (Button, Radio, TextView, etc.), and will not display custom views.
None of the other solutions I have seen so far worked for me.
But, finally discovered this one.
Goto "Palette" dropdown menu and select "Show previews"
after this, I never has this issue again.
I am using ADT 20.0.3
