Hi, I've just started using Visual Studio Code as my primary code editor and it was working fine for the past couple days, although today when I opened it and tried to edit a file I couldn't. Whenever I tried to write anything the file wouldn't get those words and the cursor would just jump between points every time I clicked a key. I was wondering what is causing this and how can I fix it?
And just an additional point, whenever I go and click on a word, rather than giving me a normal typing cursor I'm getting a cursor which you primarily see in terminal windows where it's a rectangular box
Your screenshot shows 45k+ problems. You have quite possibly deleted something important. Check if the following command works in the terminal.
flutter clean
I have a really wired issue.
Everything worked fine yesterday, but today when I opened the Eclipse and trying to open a layout it looks like this:
As you can see there is nothing shown(Not the name of the layout, not design and graphical tabs).
I already tried the following:
To upgrade everything in the SDK manager.
To restart everything including my computer(which in most of the time fix any problem in eclipse).
Shift+Alt+F7 doesn't work.
UPDATE:
Add to done list:
Re-Open Perspective
Window>> Reset Perspective
This is my Error Log:
right click on the layout you want to open and choose
Open with >> Android Common XML Editor,
try this as well
Window>> Reset Perspective
sometime graphical layout show. but nothing showing. only blank. this is happen because the manifest minimum sdk is not support to view the layout.to resolve that change the api level which display in the right corner of layout display area.
There are 2 solutions that found:
Convert the project to Android Studio.(I don't take it because I've a complex project)
I Re-install the Eclipse.
Hope that it will help someone to save some time.
When using Android Studio, I want to be able to just put the mouse cursor on top of a code word with a compiler error and get a drop down list with fix suggestions. Right now in order to open that list, I must press ALT + ENTER. How can I make Android Studio to open the list automatically when the coursor is above the error line?
In your Android Studio go to:
Settings > Editor > Code Completion and check in 'Autopopup code completion'
You might check as well the other options in the tab - e.g. delay in ms.
It seems that there was an update to the Android Studio and this feature was added. You need to play with the error line a bit (sometimes there's a need to press it a few times) and then you'll get the option to view code fixes.
I have a question transitioning from Eclipse whenever I start to type something for a string or even for a Log.d i would get "" to automatically appear, which I've found out how to do this in Android Studio no problem, but in eclipse I use to be able to hit [TAB] and it would instantly jump outside of the " on the end so I can continue to type quickly anyone know if this is possible in Android Studio?
Unfortunately, this is currently not supported in Android Studio. The closest command to the desired behaviour would be Complete Current Statement (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) which only really works if you have only one parameter.
It's been a few years since I have last developed android apps. Since then, a graphical editor was added to Eclipse that allows you to generate the XML for an layout in a WYSIWYG fashion (part of the android sdk). I like it. Speeds things up.
However, with this editor I am having a heck of a time editing the xml in the "xml view" as opposed to the "graphical layout" view.
When in the XML view, I can no longer use a lot of shortcut keys. Like ctl-c or ctl-v (cut and paste) and most frustratingly I can't use the "delete" key. When I perform a cut and paste, nothing happens. And checking the clipboard, I can see that nothing gets copied in the first place. When hitting the delete key, strange side effects happen. Somtimes nothing...othertimes enter widgets are removed. I can't figure it out.
While in the XML view, I can use the mouse to cut and paste and everything is fine. I can use the "backspace" key to remove text instead of the delete key. So I can get everything in there with no issues. But...this is a major pain in the backside. I have been programming certain ways for 20 years and it is hard to get myself to use the mouse to cut and paste and whatnot.
Has anyone else eperienced this?? I haven't found anything on the internet pertaining to this problem.
Note: I know I can change the editor preferences in Eclipse to just use the normal eclipse xml editor but I lose the WYSIWYG display...which is nice to have for visualization.
If you have seen this problem or know of a way to get around it...please, please, please let me know.
I don't think it makes a difference, but here are my specs.
Eclipse:
Version: 4.1.0
Build id: M20110912-1510
Android Development Tools 12.0.0.v201106281929-138431
This is fixed in ADT 20 Preview 3, released today.

Although this is not exactly a solution (and hopefully doesn't earn me some downvotes) I've found a nice compromise is to open the layout twice, once in the android layout editor and once in the normal XML editor.
You can do this by right clicking the file (or alt clicking on mac I assume) and selecting "Open With", you should see all the different android editors, a text editor and an XML editor.
The nice thing about opening it twice is you can have it side-by-side (drag it to another pane), the only issue now is that you have to give focus to the android layout editor in order for it to update, but at least you have your shortcuts and delete keys.
I found workaround(fix). Redefine shortcuts for copy and paste in preferences->Keys to some other key combinations, then standard cmd-c cmd-v will start work. I did not had issues with delete, but it may work for other key issues. I am on mac so not tested on windows.
I can also confirm this behavior, though I didn't recall having this problem on earlier version of Eclipse so I strongly suspect it's the 4.x version of eclipse that's interfering with the xml editor, I use even newer 4.2+
edit: you may want to track this issue http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=27155
I have the same issues, delete, ctrl-v not working in the latest Eclipse as of July 2012 with the latest Android plugin on Linux Mint 64 bit.
It's definiteley (in my case at least) the android XML editor that is at fault. As Damon says, opening the xml using eclipse with "open with" and not choosing the android editor fixes the issue. The android editor can be open in parallel.
You can manually define commands and shortcut keys through
Windows > Preferences > General > Keys
I actually copied "Ctrl + C", "Ctrl + V", "Ctrl + Y", "Ctrl + Z" commands and define the "When"s as "Editing XML source".
It works!
The issue I face, which is demo-ed here (not posted by me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUnOesjL1IE,
is fixed by disabling "Automatically format the XML edited by the visual layout editor".
The formatting for layout XML is gone for sure, but at least I can edit the file properly.
In word, Tools - options - Edit tab, be sure the typing replaces selection is checked. Spacebar key will then work to delete text.
