the window is too big to see the button,that cannot resize the window also,I need some help!
Apart from Movsar's answer, if you wish to just accept , press enter after you are done with the dialog. Otherwise click on the cross to cancel the dialog.
If you're using Windows, hit the Alt+Space+M combination, then you’ll be able to drag the window using arrows on your keyboard. Press Enter after adjusting.

I'm working on an android app , we need a custom dialog box to input some settings once in a while . This custom dialog box need to be hard to find so only some users can find it , like a onLongClick somewhere .
Any Ideas ?
Just think out of the box, what android users are not familiar of something that is not user friendly, the LongClick action every android users do long clicks so do something like a swipe up or down on a button or image be creative :)
I hate when I try to open the declaration of a layout and Eclipse redirects me to the R file, which is the same as nothing. Is there a keyboard shortcut for it to take me to the layout file. I know if you click on it with CTRL it gives you this option on a pop-up, but I hate using the mouse. I can't find this on the keybinding section. There's just plain "open declaration" which I have already changed because it was a horrible F3 by default, but this usually takes you to the R file
Well there is a mouse shortcut - Just hold down CTRL and hover over the id you want to see. You'll get two options, one for R.java and other to open the declaration. Choose the second one
EDIT:
Sorry, completely missed the part where you dont like the mouse use. Well I dont think there is any other way, and I see a bug/feature request here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=53536 reported specifically asking for this, so I wouldnt think another way exists other than either using the mouse or using the keyboard to highlight the particular item of interest and using Ctrl+Shift+R to get the menu and pressing Enter but like you mention this wouldnt work for something like R.id.foo . Wish someone from Google/Eclipse could comment on the bug/feature request.
If you CTRL + Shift + r : you can open any resource.
Using this with any text selected will pre-populate the open resource dialog with the text you selected. After that you should be able to find the file you want very quickly and double click it to open (or use down arrow and enter for openting without using a mouse).
Hope this helps.
I am creating the layout of my keyboard and i want to replace this keyboard with the default android android keyboard.
In all seriousness, take a look at the SoftKeyboard demo in the SDK. That's where you should start. You won't be able to force a user to use your new keyboard, though. They must choose to replace their current input method with yours. That demo shows you how that fits into the settings too.
Eclipse Display Window doesn't work I can't run anything there.
For example I am trying to do this in the Display view window:
System.out.println("test")
But nothing happens, and when I looked in Eclipse documentationa and in the internet I found that the j icon on the upper right corner of the Display window should be active after I highlight the line of code or I can right click after I highlight the code and see the option to execute the code. but nothing is working.
Please help.
Try highlighting the text that you typed into the display window. You might be able to execute it once you do that.
This is because Display is used only when the code is being debugged. Put a Breakpoint in the code and while the process stops there, use Display to execute your code. It must work.
I am assuming that Consol Window is not opened in your eclipse. Just follow this steps,
Go to Window Menu
Select Show View
Select Consol ( or shortcut key is Alt+Shift+ Q C )
Just select the command like:
System.out.println("test")
and press Ctrl+U or right click on highlighted text and select execute. It will work.
I want to add some buttons on top of the soft keyboard (Enter and Cancel). Is there a nice way to do this or do I have to detect the keyboard being shown and add the buttons into my view?
I can't see the logic your trying to apply here.
if you add buttons above your keyboard then you lose some areas in your keyboard (for example you cant press on q w s a).
I think you should look into creating your own custom keyboard.
maybe this will help
android app specific soft keyboard

You won't be able to do this, and with good reason. If apps could modify an existing input method like this, they could trivially log all keystrokes on your device without you knowing. If you've ever installed a custom input method, you'll see a big warning that using it means trusting it not to log your keystrokes, and the functionality you're after would totally circumvent that protection.
