I can't see "Android" line inside my menu like screenshot(this screenshot from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu4U8XKmJGA).
My Android Studio version 0.8.2, OS Linux
This feature is being implemented but isn't released yet. It's something that Google was showing in the demo as a preview of a future feature. I don't have a bug you can look at to track the progress of it, and the feature isn't yet even checked into source control.

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"
I recently updated Android Studio and the update included some new features for Layout Inspector. There is now a live updates checkbox that seems to be turned ON by default when running the debugger. Unfortunately, my app slows down to a crawl while this is active so I need to check off the feature every time after the app starts, which is a lot. I would like to know if there is a setting to keep live updates off by default instead of on. Thank you!
You can disable Live Layout Inspector by unchecking the Enable Live Layout Inspector box under the Layout Inspector header in the Experimental section. Screenshot of Android Studio Preferences
Note: I'm currently on Android Studio 4.1-RC version and have no elected to update to the latest stable version so the exact details may change depending on what A.S. version you're on.
This week I updated Android Studio till 4.0 version.
Its new LayoutInspector certainly has many useful features, it's great!
but in previous versions of Android Studio i had the opportunity to open a few tabs of different screens using layout inspector.
Does anybody know how to do it in Android Studio 4.0?
Because now in version 4.0 LayoutIspector has another view in separate window and no any tabs.
Thank you very much!
Finally i've figured out my problem.
In fact Live Layout Inspector of version 4.0 provides complete information about app's UI structure and hierarchy for emulator/device with API level 29 or higher.
But if you need the previous version's view of Layout Inspector, then you just have to disable Live Layout Inspector:
File -> Settings -> Experimental, and check the box next to Disable Live Layout Inspector.
At developer.android.com I found a tutorial called "Build a simple user interface". Unfortunately, it is based on an older version of Android Studio. It tells the user to open activity_main.xml. If one does this, the user cannot find the right icons in the toolbar. I searched and someone said open content_main.xml instead. This indeed posts the right icons in the toolbar, but as one continues in the tutorial, more and more errors appear. My question is: Is there a newer Android Studio User Interface tutorial that is appropriate for the latest Android Studio, version 3.6.1?
I really want to learn how to build interfaces via Android Studio and not clumsily play directly with XML code. Thanks for any ideas!

I just installed Android Studio 2.3.3 and I followed the steps given on Tutorials Point website for this installation. The install process was successful. I then created a new project as shown in the screen below. In the install instructions, it was shown that I will see the mockup as shown in screenshot below. However, it does not show the mobile mockup in design view. What am I missing? Or how do I get the mockup in design view?
AFAIK, viewing the XML design preview of your app with a mobile device frame around it is deprecated for the latest stable versions of Android Studio.
Please Follow below steps:
View -> Tool Windows -> Preview.
Select Preview.
