Clicking the message adds the missing attributes to the layout.</p> - - - <h2> Bitmap rendering in the debugger</h2> - <p>While debugging, you can now right-click on bitmap variables in your app and invoke - <em>View Bitmap</em>. This fetches the associated data from the debugged process and renders - the bitmap in the debugger. </p> - <p><img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/studio-bitmap-rendering.png" style="width:350px"/></p> - <p class="img-caption"><strong>Figure 13.</strong> Bitmap Rendering/p> - - - <h2>Output window message filtering</h2> - <p>When checking build results, you can filter messages by <em>message type</em> to quickly - locate messages of interest.</p> - <img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/studio-outputwindowmsgfiltering.png" style="width:200px"style="width:200px" /> - <p class="img-caption"><strong>Figure 14.</strong> Filter Build Messages</p> - - - - <h2>Hierarchical parent setting</h2> - <p>The activity parent can now be set in the Activity Wizard when creating a new - activity. Setting a <em>hierarchal parent</em> sets the {@code Up} button to automatically - appear in the app's Action bar when viewing a child activity, so the {@code Up} - button no longer needs to be manually specified in the <em>menu.xml</em> file.</p> - - - <h2>Creating layouts</h2> - <p>Android Studio offers an advanced layout editor that allows you to drag-and-drop widgets - into your layout and preview your layout while editing the XML.</p> - - <p>While editing in the <strong>Text</strong> view, you can preview the layout on devices by - opening the <strong>Preview</strong> pane available on the right side of the window. Within the - Preview pane, you can modify the preview by changing various options at the top of the pane, - including the preview device, layout theme, platform version and more. To preview the layout on - multiple devices simultaneously, select <strong>Preview All Screen Sizes</strong> from the - device drop-down.</p> - <p><img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/studio-previewall.png" style="width:350px"/></p> - <p class="img-caption"><strong>Figure 15.</strong> Preview All Screens/p> - - <p>You can switch to the graphical editor by clicking <strong>Design</strong> at the - bottom of the window. While editing in the Design view, you can show and hide the - widgets available to drag-and-drop by clicking <strong>Palette</strong> on the left side of the - window. Clicking <strong>Designer</strong> on the right side of the window reveals a panel - with a layout hierarchy and a list of properties for each view in the layout.</p> - - - <h2 id="intellij">Working with IntelliJ</h3> - - <p>This section list just a few of the code editing - practices you should consider using when creating Android Studio apps. </p> - - <p>For complete user documentation for the IntelliJ IDEA interface (upon which Android Studio - is based), refer to the - <a href="http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/documentation/index.jsp">IntelliJ IDEA documentation</a>.</p> - - - - <h3><em>Alt + Enter</em> key binding</h3> - <p>For quick fixes to coding errors, the IntelliJ powered IDE implements the <em>Alt + Enter</em> - key binding to fix errors (missing imports, variable assignments, missing references, etc) when - possible, and if not, suggest the most probably solution. </p> - - - <h3><em>Ctrl + D</em> key binding</h3> - <p>The <em>Ctrl + D</em> key binding is great for quickly duplicating code lines or fragments. - Simply select the desired line or fragment and enter this key binding. </p> - - - <h3>Navigate menu</h3> - <p>In case you're not familiar with an API class, file or symbol, the <em>Navigate</em> menu lets - you jump directly to the class of a method or field name without having to search through - individual classes. </p> - - - <h3>Inspection scopes</h3> - <p>Scopes set the color of code segments for easy code identification and location. For example, - you can set a scope to identify all code related to a specific action bar. </p> - - - - <h3>External annotations</h3> - <p>Specify annotations within the code or from an external annotation file. The Android Studio - IDE keeps track of the restrictions and validates compliance, for example setting the data type - of a string as not null.</p> - - - - <h3>Injecting languages</h3> - <p>With language injection, the Android Studio IDE allows you to work with islands of different - languages embedded in the source code. This extends the syntax, error highlighting and coding - assistance to the embedded language. This can be especially useful for checking regular expression - values inline, and validating XML and SQL statments.</p> - - - <h3>Code folding</h3> - <p>This allows you to selectively hide and display sections of the code for readability. For - example, resource expressions or code for a nested class can be folded or hidden in to one line - to make the outer class structure easier to read. The inner clas can be later expanded for - updates. </p> - - - <h3>Image and color preview</h3> - <p>When referencing images and icons in your code, a preview of the image or icon appears - (in actual size at different densities) in the code margin to help you verify the image or icon - reference. Pressing {@code F1} with the preview image or icon selected displays resource asset - details, such as the <em>dp</em> settings. </p> - - - <h3>Quick F1 documentation</h3> - <p>You can now inspect theme attributes using <strong>View > Quick Documentation</strong> - (<strong>F1</strong>), - see the theme inheritance hierarchy, and resolve values for the various attributes.</p> - - <p>If you invoke <strong> View > Quick Documentation</strong> (usually bound to F1) on the theme - attribute <em>?android:textAppearanceLarge</em>, you will see the theme inheritance hierarchy and - resolved values for the various attributes that are pulled in.</p> - - - <h3>New Allocation Tracker integration in the Android/DDMS window</h3> - <p>You can now inspect theme attributes using <strong> View > Quick Documentation - </strong> <code>F1</code>, see the theme inheritance hierarchy, and resolved values for the - various attributes.</p> - <img src="{@docRoot}images/tools/studio-allocationtracker.png" style="width:300px" /> - <p class="img-caption"><strong>Figure 16</strong> Allocation Tracker</p> - - - - -<h3 id="key-commands">Keyboard Commands</h3> - -<p>The following tables list keyboard shortcuts for common operations.</p> - -<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> This section lists Android Studio keyboard shortcuts -for the default keymap.
