My xml layout in android studio is greyed. I can't add any view into it. Even if I try to add then I can't change any constraint.
Here is my layout code: https://github.com/Aditya425/parse-project/tree/main
Don't Worry about that!
Just Connect your Device with Internet, Close your Project & Re-open it, it will automatically fix.
If not done, try to Sync Project with Gradle Files after reopening.
Within one of my methods, I want to switch layouts into a secondary one. But for some reason, the setContentView can't see the layout in the folder. The following images show this:
My layout folder
I then ran the code
setContentView(R.layout.saveg_w_name) //I know this name is correctly spelled and everything since I clicked the createLayout
And yet it still gives the cannot resolve symbol error. Is this a bug with android studio or am I doing something wrong
Just restart your android studio and again check.
If it still doesn't solve your issue, try invalidating caches.
click File(Menu)->Invalidate Caches/Restart
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.
I've a layout with a 16 buttons, every button has an image and a textview under the image.
I've this buttons in a particular order,but once is loaded in the activity the order is not the last i've edited but remain the previous!
Why in the editor of eclipse is correct and on runtime is different?!?
Thanks!
Sometimes a clean and rebuild is enough to solve your problem. Also you will get a warning on your XML preview that you need to build your project if you changed any code in a custom view for it to draw it properly.
Uninstall previous app from your android device (if compiling from android device).
Then Go to Project->Clean . Then run your project .
First of all Uninstall the application from your device .
go to Project > Clean. then you can run your project again
it will be remove your error strong text
I am trying to extract style in android studio 0.8.9 using the refactor option. But it seems to be disabled for some reason. I have tried cleaning and rebuilding the project just in case and even restarting Android Studio, but nothing seems to enable the extract style option.
Do let me know if anybody else is facing the same problem or is there a way to solve this ?
Screenshot image:
I had the same problem. Extracting styles is different in Android Studio:
You don't need to select text and choose Refactor->Extract->Style, just choose the menu option With no text selected.
So, just click anywhere inside the ImageView element (Do not select any text). The refactor option should become available.
Works fine for me without selecting any code. To extract layout you need to select the whole layout not just a part of it.
