i don't how how this happens.. but i don't know how to use this format..
i just wanna go back to the default layout option in which you can drag n drop buttons,text fields and in back-end coding is automatically created..
i just don't find any option and don't know how to Google the problem..
thank you
When You are in Coding part and you want to go to Graphical layout you can press ALT + PAGE UP.
This will go to Graphical layout where you can Drag and Drop.
Hope this is what you are Searching for.
EDITED :
Right Click on that file --> open with --> Android layout Editor.

For example I want to move the MainActivity code window/tab (highlighted in yellow in the screenshot below) to the left, but I when I drag and drop it goes back to being on the right. I can't move or arrange any number of open tabs.
Right click on MainActivity.kt, then select "configure editor tabs".
Make sure "sort tabs alphabetically" is unchecked.
Probably one of the checks there is in charge of your problem.
You can click on the top right "reset" there, it should solve your problem.
Move with holding ctrl (or alt)
I encountered the same problem, although in my case the Sort tabs alphabetically option wasn't checked.
Since I wasn't able to solve this issue otherwise, I resorted to restoring the default setting i.e.
File > Manage IDE Settings > Restore Default Settings...
which worked for me.
I have a project that I did not develop but am trying to fix bugs in. There's a button that I press and then a bug occurs. I want to find out where in the code this button is implemented but its hard to trace it since there are so many classes and layout files. Usually, if there's text associated with the button, then I find the string in my strings.xml file and work my way back. Unfortunately, this button doesn't have any text associated with it.
Hey just connect your actual android phone and run the app on it and also open logcat, when you will click that button logcat should hopefully display all the errors and you can go to the function.
Try this and comment me back if it works
This is a unconvential method, but I used it in the beginning aswell. In Android Studio press CTRL + H to open the Find in Path dialog. This will search the whole project.
For a Button you might want to search e.g. setOnClickListener, Button etc. and navigate it down by this approach. This method will also find dynamically created Views in case it's not in the layout.xml
can someone help me find the refresh layout button which was there before studio 2.2 to refresh the layout changes?
Have searched every where but cannot find it.The problem is sometimes drawables are not refreshed and reflected in the preview window.
It's pretty simple to refresh.
Click on the preview screen, make sure that the preview window has the focus, and press R. It should display the progress in the top-right corner while refreshing.
If it doesn't work for any reason, switch to the design tab and press R. It refreshes the layout instantly.
I think it is a small bug, but I find a hack solution to resolve the problem.
You can change a resource id to a wrong name. For example, you have a resource named ic_launcher. When you input ic_launcher1, you can find the interface like this:
Next, click the refresh link (sometimes, it says 'clear cache').
I tried changing the orientation, but it does not work when I replace an existing image file.
Toggle the Orientation button in Editor, it is refreshing the changes.
Can't seem to find the refresh layout button too, it's as if it is deliberately removed.
However, I found a temporary refresh layout solution: On the screen orientation button, click the dropdown and then change the Night Mode. See this page for reference on where to find the screen orientation button. Hope this helps.
Close edited layout file and reopen.
You can do this with following shortcuts:
Ctrl+F4 (close tab)
Ctrl+Shift+E (open Recently edited files)
Enter
(select recent file to open, your layout file should be already
highlighted if edited last)
I developed two menu like in Facebook app.
One of them contains expandableListView.
UseCase:
I open the menu, then I open a section. Now, My translation is closed by the redrawn, So it hides my menu.
To open my menu, I apply translation and then remove it and use offsetLeftAndRight to keep it open:
mainlayout.clearAnimation();
mainlayout.offsetLeftAndRight(pxTranslateMenu);
I tried to create my own view to solve this problem. But I have the same result when my items go from GONE to VISIBLE. When items go from INVSIBLE to VISIBLE all is OK, but i have a wrong render (free space where my items are placed).
Is there anyway of doing what i want : Keeping my menu open after clicking on section?
Thanks.
I tried to use some other component to avoid Accordion.
But i have the same problem when an EditText take focus or when i select an item in an AlertDialog.
I just found a way to overpass this problem.
I just create a new activity wich has a translucent part.
In this way, i can do what i want.
I hope that i'm gonna be able to resolve all demand by this way.
For Android GUI: I would like to create a window that I can pull up from the bottom of another window, kind of like the Notification bar or the tab in the bottom on Spotify for Android.
I want to be able to grab a small piece of the window and pull it up. Or just click it and it will "pop up". And afterwards be able to pull or click it so it returs to its original space.
Does anyone know a good way to do this?
Use SlidingDrawer
