I am new to Android Studio IDE. I was very accustomed to the Eclipse IDE and now everything seems hard to accomplish with Android Studio. One of the things which bothering me is the documentation auto popup in the settings. The popups are always overlapping the parameters info. which are important.
Does anybody know how to solve this or if it's possible at all to have the 2 options.
I've already tried changing the delays in the settings but the it's the same result.
Example image:
Go to File > Settings or do Ctrl+Alt+S
Under Editor > General
Uncheck Show quick documentation on mouse move

After Android Studio upgraded itself to version Arctic Fox, I now get these strange sub-windows in my code editor that I can't get rid of. If I click in either of the 2 sub-windows (a one-line window at the top or a 5-line window underneath it (see pic below), it scrolls to the code in question and the sub-windows disappear. But as soon as I navigate away from that code, these sub-windows mysteriously reappear. I can't figure out how to get rid of this.
I restarted Studio and it seemed to go away. Then I refactored a piece of code (Extract to Method Ctrl+Alt+M) and then these windows appeared again. Sometimes these windows appear on a 2nd monitor instead of on top of the code area on the monitor with Android Studio. But eventually they end up back on top of my code editor window.
I have searched hi and low for what this is. Studio help, new features, blog, etc. I am sure that I am just using the wrong terminology to find the answer, so hoping someone else knows.
Just stumbled upon the same thing (strange windows upon attempting to refactor some code after updating to Arctic Fox). After a lot of searching around the options/menus/internet this fixed it for me:
Navigate to:
File > Settings... > Editor > Code Editing
under
Refactorings > Specify refactoring options:
select
In modal dialogs
Press OK.
Fingers crossed refactoring works.
🤞
Further step: Restart Android Studio
i have android studio 4.1.3 and i'm wondering if it has a setting that i can change so i can see debug in real time. I'm currently using visual studio which tells me in console where i'm wrong as i'm typing. I'm typing the code in vs and then pasting into android studio but it's getting tiresome especially if i have a lot of screens. Is there an easy way that i'm missing? And yes i have tried to google the question already so please don't tell me to google.
Unfortunately, android Studio does not currently have a live debug feature.
You do have a debug option on the top right corner of the screen if you need it.
The closest thing to what i was looking for is the "Dart Analysis". It's located at the very bottom next to the "terminal" button. I've tested and i see if i change something, it immediately notifies me in the "Dart Analysis window"
This question been bugging me since the release of the built-in emulator tab.
How to make it appear? Like, enforce it.
Because it just seems to appear whenever. I work mainly with Flutter projects and some projects just open and there it is. Other projects don't have the emulator tab so I have to run it in a separate window like it used to be. There are no options anywhere - it either "is" or not. I want consistency and I like it being a tab. How to enable it once and for all? Is it possible?
Solution is quite simple, if I don't see emulator in my Flutter project, I check in File->Project Structure, see picture.
There has to be an "Android" module, if there is none, just add it from a '+' menu, that's all, the Emulator tab will appear.
I've got a problem after updating Mac to Big Sur 11.0.1.
All interstitial dialog windows, Device Manager, Preferences, SDK options, and etc, are not opened as interstitials/dialogs in fullscreen mode, but as a tab in-app. Then, Android Studio freezes and is not responding.
i.e.: Commit Changes Window
Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!
System Preferences > General > set Prefer Tabs to never when opening documents.
Alternatively, run this on Terminal and restart Android Studio:
defaults write com.google.android.studio AppleWindowTabbingMode manual
This works while keeping the tabs active for other apps.
Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences > General. In the Prefer tabs when opening documents option, select "never". Then restart Android Studio.
I solved by clicking the  -> System Preferences -> General -> Prefer Tabs and select "never". I have no problem using the latest version of IDEA, it may be that the version of IDEA on which Android Studio is based low.
You can try : System Preferences > General > Prefer Tabs and set #never when opening documents.
I hope solved this problem.
I think the ideal place to fix this is in the native code in the app launcher. In AppBundler we recently made this change which sets the tab mode before loading the JVM. It's basically the in-app equivalent of running "defaults write" in the terminal but doesn't require executing a process.
I have disabled everything there is to disable in the gutter, yet its this big:
I don't want the gutter at all. It's ugly and not useful for me.
Halp!
Just in case for those who didn't know yet, you can set shortcut keys for "Main Menu > View > Active Editor > Show Gutter Icons" in 'keymap' in preference as you want. You can't disable it altogether, but at least can hide the area by each file. Currently I use Android Studio 3.5.3, but I believe you can do this in some earlier versions, too.
Apparently as of now there is no way to disable that portion of the IDE.
Debugging is an essential part of software development and there are not many people that would like to disable that in an IDE. Of for that matter even thought about that - it's not taking that much space anyway. You could probably put in a feature request for that.
