I'm new to Android Studio, and I am going through the tutorials on the website.
It shows buttons in the toolbar like, 'hide constraints' 'default margins', and 'autoconnect'. But I can't find these buttons in my Android Studio.
Can anyone help me find them and make them visible in the Toolbar.
Those are visible when you use a ConstrainedLayout in your Layout's xml file.

The Design view in Android Studio is just blank for me. I've already followed the advice in this link but it doesn't work. If I right click ConstraintLayout and then Convert view it opens a window where I can click RelativeLayout but this doesn't work. Does anyone have any advice?
I had this problem earlier this week. Everything I selected for my ConstraintLayout was invisible for a new project. I ended up selecting a different theme and it woke up after that and started showing the picked views.
Screenshot Attached:
On the right on the API number ["28" in my case]. Click on the theme [NoActionBar in my case]. I think if you try a few different themes they will eventually become visible again.
I have an Android activity with a Toolbar inside an AppBarLayout and I would like to add widgets to it. When I try to drag and drop a widget onto the Toolbar in the Designer, it doesn't work and the cursor shows a symbol indicating that it can't be added.
There are many questions on StackOverflow all asking the same thing but the answers all seem to be about the distinction between activity_*.xml and content_*.xml. This is not the issue for me, I'm using the activity_*.xml file which definitely includes the Toolbar. I can also add widgets manually in the XML file and they appear in the designer; it's only the drag and drop that isn't working.
Any ideas why this doesn't work or how to make it work?
I'm sorry I still don't have enough reps to comment because this is a new account. But have you tried writing on the xml instead? Right below the palette toolbox, you can switch from design to text and vice versa. And the xml code can easily be googled.
I have not been on studio in a bit and when I made a new layout theres some small mail icon in the bottom right. I cant seem to find the code for it and am curious as to what it does/how to get rid of it-
Heres a screenshot of what im talking about-
the small mail icon in the bottom right is what im talking about
The code for this will be in activity_main.xml. It is just part of the new templates that came with Android Studio 1.4.
To remove this icon, go into activity_main.xml and remove the android:src attribute of the FloatingActionButton, or change it to the drawable you'd rather use.
I am new to android and trying to get a custom view above keyboard in android just like toolbar in iOS. I have searched a lot but unable to find any solution.
Please anyone can help me out with this. Thank you!
add the custom layout at bottom of your layout and Use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
in your manifest, so that the bottom of the Window changes when the keyboard pops up
I have been searching the reference to the navigation up icon for android within android studio but cant find it. I am trying to add it to a toolbar. The toolbar is not the action bar. I have a toolbar in a sliding up panel. The picture below is the icon I am looking to reference without adding:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
If it can't be referenced as a drawable I am assuming I will need to import images which I am trying not to do. If that is the case then please provide a page that has the exact icon as a .png.
If you are going to down vote the question provide an explanation on why.
actionbar.setNavigationIcon(R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_mtrl_am_alpha);
Hope this helps
I ended up getting the Material Icons from Google's GitHub
