When I start the emulator in Android Studio, it opens as a tab. I want to open it in a seperate window.
Additionally, my Visual Studio Code doesn't see this emulator.
Also, Android Studio, (and VSCode as well) doesn't see the emulator too. It isn't listed in select device.
I didn't use to have these kind of errors. I needed to delete Android Studio. I reinstalled it and things changed.
To resolve the issue, go to: File > settings > tools > emulator.
After that, untick "launch in a tool window" option.
Note:
Restart the program if you couldn't launch the emulator if instead you get a message that it's already launched.
With the new update it's possible to open the emulator as a new window clicking on settings icon -> view mode, there you can choose what's the best for you, maybe it can help.
I am using android studio 3.1 for some development.
But Its does not showing android option under Tools menu. Whereas Android studio 3.0 doesn't have this problem.
Here is the screenshot of android studio 3.1 Tools menu:
See missing the android option.
I think this is some configuration related problem as it doesn't exist in android studio 3.0. Basically I need Enable ADB Integration option. Is there any way to show the option in Tools menu?
If you're looking for a way to fix the buggy connection to a physically connected USB device without restarting Android Studio, this might help:
Preferences > Build, Execution & Deployment > Debugger
Then check or uncheck the box Use libusb backend
Google has officially removed the Memory Monitor tool in the Android studio 3+ and brings new Tool that is Memory Profile.
From the documentation for the tool:
To open Memory Profiler, follow these step:
Click View > Tool Windows > Android Profiler (you can also click Android Profiler in the toolbar).
Select the device and app process you want to profile from the Android Profiler toolbar. If you've connected a device over USB but don't see it listed, ensure that you have enabled USB debugging.
Click anywhere in the MEMORY timeline to open the Memory Profiler.
See the Google's Official Statement.
Can u find the android in the Help>action?
like shown below.
click on Find Action or Ctrl+Shift+A
After that try searching"Android" in the search bar.
From the android studio 3.1, android option menu is deleted and you can read it from the documentation : https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/monitor.html
if you want to open it, open from the android-sdk/tools/ directory then run monitor.bat
hope this help you guys
In my case, after update android studio separated that field from tools and located it at bottom-right corner.
I have faced the same issue after many tried I found the solution. In Android Studio 3.1.3,
Click File> Settings > Debugger > Uncheck Kill the debug process immediately and apply then again check it.
Probably because the Android options are already there, provided without an additional sub-menu.
Here is what there is under the Tools menu in Android Studio 3.0, all options are same, just grouped together:
EDIT: There are some missing items such as 'Enable ADB Integration', for these you can always use the Help > Find Action... where you type in the search, it will look like this:
adb seems to be deprecated in android studio 3.1. On Ubuntu I can run adb from the command line using Android/Sdk/platform-tools/adb and I can run the Device Monitor using Android/Sdk/tools/monitor. More information may be available at https:/developer.android.com/studio/profile/monitor.html
You can use Android Profiler if you want to measure app performance and inspect activity for CPU, RAM and Network instead of using ADB Integration.
For more Info. check this out Measure app performance with Android Profiler
Add navigation folder inside res and add a file like below file. In this file, we have two activities that are UI will show in this navigation file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<navigation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/nav_graph"
app:startDestination="#id/mainActivity">
<activity
android:id="#+id/mainActivity"
android:name="com.noman.navigation.MainActivity"
android:label="activity_main"
tools:layout="#layout/activity_main" />
<activity
android:id="#+id/oneActivity"
android:name="com.noman.navigation.OneActivity"
android:label="one_activity"
tools:layout="#layout/one_activity" />
</navigation>
you can also add this navigation via right click in res folder and section add a new resource.
By this, you will be able to see navigations on UI.
In my case, Android Studio 3.5.2, the location of the NDK bundle was not set in Preferences. To set NDK location, File -> Project Settings -> SDK Location then look for second field Android NDK Location. Once I provided the folder location for NDK bundle, Android Studio synced gradle again and built the app and showed all Android options under Tools.

You could perform the following below steps to check memory usage.
Click View > Tool Windows > Profiler (you can also click Profile in the toolbar).
Select the device and app process you want to profile from the Android Profiler toolbar. If you've connected a device over USB but don't see it listed, ensure that you have enabled USB debugging.
Click anywhere in the MEMORY timeline to open the Memory Profiler.
I got the same problem.
Check you don't have any errors on the bottom of android studio. I got one with sdk build. If you got the same click on the link in error log.
Next go to file -> settings -> Appearance&Behavior -> Menus and Toolbars
Roll up Main menu -> Tools.
Choose Android.
Click on 'Apply' button and 'OK'.
Wait for a while (gradle progress-bar on the bottom).
I hope that I solve your problem.
Hi guys I'm having troubles to find the file explorer in the new version and there is no perspective like in eclipse.
File Explorer in Android Studio is from a previous version of Android Studio
Thanks and regards.
this is the Android Device Monitor in Android Studio and the file explorer tab should be there but is not.
Perhaps you accidentally closed it. I just ran the Android Device Monitor, from Android Studio 1.1, and the File Explorer tab appears as normal. However, as with the other tabs, it has an "x" in the tab to close it, and if you do that, it will no longer show up.
To make it appear again, choose Window > Show View from the Android Device Monitor main menu, and choose Android > File Explorer in the tree of available views. Click OK, and the tab should reappear.
Guys at JetBrains must love to hide the most common tools. Why can't the Android Studio be at least as good as the old eclipse plugin.
Just where on Earth did the file explorer window go?
I've already read:
File Explorer in Android Studio
How to get to the file explorer in android studio
But this is all I can get:
Where is the file explorer tab supposed to be found? When I clicked the Android Device Monitor button it said it was already shown. But now it gives me a "Failed to create the Java VM" error that disconnects the device, and a few seconds later it reconnects again.
Using Android Studio v1.1.0
Solved thanks to #Lipi's answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25159856.
The .ini file was trying to give the monitor too much memory, and reducing it solved the issue. That file is in the Android SDK folder, it's not inside AS.
Android Studio does not currently show the file explorer as a tab in the IDE, it just uses the SDK's and opens it in a separate window.
In Eclipse you can change your simulated location using the Emulator Control view (Window > Show View > Other... > Android > Emulator Control).

Where can I find this view/tab in IntelliJ?
PS. I know that I can use DDMS, but I wonder if there is a tab in IntelliJ, like there is in Eclipse.
There is no such option in IDEA yet. We have a request to add dedicated DDMS tool window, feel free to vote.
Click the Tools----Android -----
There you will see the DDMS option that opens in a separate window. which is cool... i need not switch perspectives like in eclipse..
Actually DDMS is not feature of Eclipse or IntelliJ. It tool that can be run separately.
It can be found in android-sdk-windows\tools (where android-sdk-windows is dirrectory with all android stuff on your disk)
