In the uiautomatorviewer (the one that comes with android sdk) window , there is a textbox in the upper left corner (on top of the heirarchy view). What is it for?
Thanks
It's a search box. You can enter text to search for and then move to next or previous result with the little arrows.
Yep, ugly UI.

While learning how to build a simple user interface on The instructs. From the Palette window on the left, click Text in the left panel, and then drag Plain Text into the design editor and drop it near the top of the layout. Where exactly can I find "plain-text", or is it something I type then drag into the design editor?
The link's down below:
https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/building-ui.html#textbox
If you are using Android Studio 2.3.3, click on Text in the Palette, and Plain Text will be one of the options:
You can find it here.
Start typing after pressing the magnifying button it would show up as the top result.
I'm following the tutorial Writing your first Android app – everything you need to know, and the 'coding' part essentially starts when the author tells you to select the default "Hello World" TextView, at the top left of the design view, and change its position and text. I have done this before, and I know there is supposed to be green frame drawn around the TextView when you click it. In fact, when I select the XML in the text view for the TextView, a green frame is indeed drawn around it, but I can't move it or find the "Properties" pane for it.
Why can't I select it in the design view? The tutorial goes on to change its position and content, but I cannot proceed until I can select it.
Strangely enough, there is a FloatingActionButton at the bottom right of the design view that I can select just as expected.
NOTE: This has something to do with the theme. I changed the theme, and was able to select and move the TextView. However, I don't remember which theme, and when I closed and re-opened the project, this were back to normal, and I could only select the FloatingActionButton. Then, I tried a few other themes, and now I can't even select the button.
I want to show my AppIcon and some text on Top Left Corner at Home Screen. Please look at the picture you will get an idea
for R.Video enable you are already using ongoing notification.
for SpyVideo Enable text showing at bottom centre of screen. you can use chat head like Facebook! download this samplecode. instead of ImageView you have to use TextView.
You might use drawing over apps.
Here a link: How to draw a view on top of everything?
Maybe that helps.
I have a news app.It is supposed to launch by swiping on the screen(homescreen or while in any other activity like switchr app).I learned to code swiping patterns but in my case I have to do exactly in the following way(swiping bottom right to top left)..Kindly have a look over following pictorial representation
1.Firstly app should launch by swiping bottom right to top left on the screen
2.next,show the user with list of scrollable arc menu buttons embedded in it like second image
3.when a user clicks on particular button it has to show a brief description about the content like third image
my problems:
creating arc like scrollable menu on bottom right side of the screen(I googled sia ahmed's solution over here ,it helped me a bit)
creating that parachute like structure(image 3) when user clicks particular bubble like button in arc menu..
please guide me
For the menu check out arcmenu by daCapricorn on github. Also see this question.
The balloon bit is trickier. I know of a balloon hint code for android but i haven't seen it in action.
Hope this helps!
My eclipse's（ADT bundle Mac OSX） console view and logcat view are located at the right side of the screen. When activated, they will cover my code editor. （When I maximize them they will automatically move to the bottom, but when minimized they fly back to the right side again.）
status 1:normal ,them cover the editor,
status 2: when I max them, look like good, but
status 3:when minimize them, backto status 1
You can click the title of the tab and drag it to a new location (in this case the bottom of the page)
I know this is an old thread but it comes up in the top google results so I thought I'd reply with a solution. I was having the same issue as the OP, even when docking on the bottom of the editor Console was still minimizing to the left side.
I fixed this inadvertently while fixing another annoyance (non re-sizable toolbar sections).
Go to Window->Preferences->General->Appearences
Change theme to Windows 7
Restart Eclipse
Dock to bottom of screen and minimize.
This worked for me, hope it helps someone else out there.
First, make sure it the view is open. Then, click on the Logcat tab and drag it to the bottom of the page. Do this for the Console tab and any other tab that you want at the bottom of the page. Then, minimize them and open them again. They should remain at the bottom of the page.
It looks like right now you have it in the same pane as where the code normally resides.
Since Eclipse Neon (4.6, June 2016), you don't need to drag each tab individually. You can just drag the empty space after the tabs to move the whole stack of views.
You can do this both when the stack is minimized/maximized and when it's not.
In Eclipse version 2020-09 (4.17.0), one can reset the display by selecting "Window >> Perspective >> Reset Perspective"
First, minimize the whole output console. Then select the location by single click dragging it down to the bottom of the page & then open it & select it by dragging it from the top in the required area.
Window->Perspective->Reset Prespective will solve that
