IDE - how to save project and load it? (Android Studio) [duplicate] - android

Is there way to disable auto save in Android Studio?
I have already unchecked "Save files automatically if application is idle for n sec"
under Setting->General.
Anything else to be done?

Disable Autosave
File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Autosave > then uncheck both Save files if the IDE is idle for |15| seconds and Save files when switching to a different application > Apply
After doing the above, you may like to do enable the following 2 options too-
Mark Changed But Unsaved File
File > Settings > Editor > General > Editor Tabs > then check Mark modified (*) > Apply
Save One File with Ctrl+S
File > Settings > Keymap > search with save document > right click Save Document > Add Keyboard Shortcut > press Ctrl+S> OK > Remove > Apply

In android Studio 2.1.1, 2016
File -> Settings -> Appearance and Behavior -> System Settings
And see synchronization paragraph and uncheck autosave and/or 'use safe write'

If you go to Settings, and type Save in the search you will find under the IDE Settings an area called "General". From there you can find a number of options to control saving. It sometimes does not work and saving will continue anyway. Unfortunately there is no universal "turn-off" switch. AS is a hand holding IDE, you just have to get use to it.
Settings section you are seeking looks like this:

For Android Studio v3.3
Open Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S or File->Settings)
On the top left corner of the settings menu, search for "save" in the search bar field
Click on System Settings and all the sub-settings related to save will be highlighted
Uncheck Save files automatically if application is idle for * sec
Click on apply and close the settings menu.
It is highly recommended to follow this method
Mark Changed But Unsaved File which will help you distinguish between your unsaved and saved files.

How to make word wrap in android studio by default

When I write something on the android studio, the line goes on over the right screen. How do I turn on word soft wrap in android studio?
If you are on mac and want to soft wrap just the current active Editor, here is how to do it: -
On the menu bar
View -> Active Editor -> Soft-Wrap
Please goto "File->Settings->Editor->General" tab and check "Use soft wraps in editor". it will solve your problem.
Updates: As #ThePartyTurtle mentioned on the comment some versions of Android Studio specifically from v3.5.3 This option is available via
Android Studio->Preferences...->Editor->General
You go to Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > General > Soft Wraps
then you have to indicate what type of documents you want the soft wrap to be applied on. Be sure to separate each type with a semicolon.
example: *.md; *.txt; *.rst; *.adoc; *.dart; *.plist;
Image that complements the explanation of the menus
If u want to use soft wrap by default go through the following steps
step-1 : Click on view ( in Navigation bar )
step-2 : Choose Active Editor
step-3 : Click on Soft wrap
that's it ...
File>Settings>Editor>General
Android Studio Arctic Fox Solution
From the menu:
File > Settings > General
Tick the Soft-wrap these files checkbox.
File > Settings > General
Tick the "Soft-wrap these files:" checkbox, and write *.*
Apply > OK
Here's my 2 cents:
A quick way to toggle word-wraps:
Ctrl + Shit + A : (opens a search window with "Actions" tab enabled.)
Type Soft wrap
Press enter on the first search-result: View | Active Editor Soft-wrap
Cheers 🍻
If you are on mac: Android Studio -> Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Soft-wrap these files
If you are on Windows : Settings > Editor > General > Soft-wrap these files
To enable Soft-wrap, write the following code in the box in front of the checkbox
*.* to wrap all the files in the editor
*.<extension_of_file> to wrap files with specific extension an separated by semicolon

Ctrl + Space Not Working Properly Android Studio

i am facing problem in android studio. In eclipse when i want to use class like Intent, then i write intent starting with lower case it give me suggestion box indicating class name Intent, but in android studio if i type intent starting with lower case it does not Provide Suggestion class name Intent.Thanks in advance.
In my case Ctrl + Space was overloaded by mac shortcuts. And even in the case, I disabled them, they conflict with Android Studio.
So, I gave them another keys and it solved the problem.
Go to the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Input Sources and use new keys for them.
The problem is that Android Studio has different key binding than Eclipse, but you can set the key binding to be the same as in eclipse in android studio settings. Also by default ctrl + space is case sensitive in Android studio, you need to turn that off too.
Move to File -> Settings -> Keymap and change keymaps settings to eclipse so that you can use the short cut keys like in eclipse.
You can set 'Case sensitive completion' to 'None' in IDE Settings > Editor > Code Completion.
That should do it :)
File --> Settings --> Editor --> General --> Code Completion --> Case sensitive completion --> None

android studio ctrl + space opens documentation window

I have updated my Android Studio to the newest version, but now when I call the auto-completion/suggestions with CTRL+SPACE the suggestion box opens but the documentation window opens as well.
Has anyone experienced this and know how to disable the opening of the documentation window?
I'm using Android Studio 0.8.1 on OSX and have been experiencing the same irritating behavior.
The answer by #daniel-gabriel was not was I was looking for.
A better solution seems to be to go to Preferences > IDE Settings section > Editor > Code Completion (in AS 1.2.2 located in Preferences->Editor->General) and unticking the option Autopopup documentation in (ms):
Ctrl-Q toggles between doc window states (when using the default keymap).
Possible states are:
-Hidden
-Shown to the side of the auto-complete list
-Docked as one of the tabs
If you have a different keymap, you can search for this action in Settings -> Keymap. The action is called "Quick Doc".
For ubuntu 14.04 :
File > Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion
And unticking Autopopup Documentation will hide it.
For Windwos && Linux (ubuntu) :
File > Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion
For Mac :
Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > General > Code Completion
1. unChecked : AutoPopup documentation (in CodeCompletion)
2. unChecked : AutoPopup (in Parameter Info)
On Mac OSX, to restore the Documentation window to an auto-hide popup, toggle the popup window toolbar to checked state, from the popup windows gear icon, and then click "Restore Popup" icon in the documentation window toolbar.
I prefer the quicker solutions...
Press Ctrl + Space and let the "Documentation" window pop-up.
1) Click on the Settings icon and uncheck all the options except "Docked Mode".
2) Now push documentation window to the right, so as to make it invisible.
With this even though with press of "Ctrl + Space", internally command will pass
to open the Documentation Window but it will not be visible and interfere with the
workspace.
I hope that helps. Happy Coding...

How to add code snippets in Android Studio IDE?

does anyone know how to add code snippets in Android Studio IDE?
I didn't found a menu entry or something like this.
I also want to know is it possible to change the existing snippets?
To add/edit templates:
On the menu choose File -> Settings, then under IDE Settings (or Editor) go to Live Templates.
To insert a template:
On the menu choose Code -> Insert Live Template (or use it's assigned shortcut key).
Screenshot Android Studio 3.4
Code snippets are known as Live Templates in Android Studio
Browse the current Live Templates
Go to File > Settings > Editor > Live Templates. Then click on the different options to see what they do.
Here are some interesting ones:
foreach
for ($i$ : $data$) {
$cursor$
}
Toast
android.widget.Toast.makeText($className$.this, "$text$", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
todo
// TODO: $date$ $todo$
logi
android.util.Log.i(TAG, "$METHOD_NAME$: $content$");
The words surrounded by $ signs are places where things will be filled in automatically from the context or where the user can tab through to fill them in.
Use a Live Template
Just type in the abbreviation and tab through anything that you need to fill in.
Example:
logi
and I'm given this
Log.i(TAG, "myMethodName: |");
with the cursor located at the position I marked with the vertical line |.
Make you own Live Template
Just write the code, highlight it, and go to Tools > Save as Live Template.
Further Study
Creating and Editing Live Templates (IntelliJ docs)
Level-up with Android Studio Shortcuts and Live Templates
Android Studio Live Templates
Go to Settings (File > Settings, or CTRLALT + S) then search for "Live Templates".
A template screen will be opened. You can see here all live templates and you can also create your own custom live templates.
It is important that you choose the correct template group to define your new template (e.g. "Android").
As an example, I will define a Toast method as a live template.
You can also click "use static import as possible" not to be handle importing stuff.
Cntr + j : to insert an existant live template.
File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code style -> live Templates >> add a template with button +
edit your template and OK :)
go to Settings
(Files > Settings (ctrl + alt + s) > then click Editor > Live Templates )
like this:
then type your abbreviation name and use your template any where
