I'm developing apps in Android Studio. But everytime I hit Run button, the Run tab pops up automatically from bottom with messages like Installing com.packagename etc..., Success, Launching

I've already disabled automatic displayin of Android DDMS tab (because I use DDMS from toolbar which opens new window) by editing configurations. But I can't disable this stupid automatic Run tab showing.

Is there any way to do this ?

In case anyone still struggling with this annoying thing, there is a way to disable this annoying popup.

Note: this will remove the run tab altogether.

Disable run tab

So basically go to your Run/Debug configuration and Uncheck Activate tool window at the bottom. This gets rid of the Run tab.

    This works. In case anyone can't find it (me), the window scrolls down (duh). – user1010160 Jan 23 '23 at 07:14

    To open the run/debug configuration, go to `Run` > `Edit configurations`. You can also click the "app" dropdown in the toolbar (next to the run button) and select "Edit configurations". – Lifes Feb 17 '23 at 19:47
  • expand the window if not visible at first. – SilverTech Aug 02 '23 at 08:25

There is no standard way of achieving this but I found an interesting workaround mentioned below and using the same.

When your run tab is opened, Instead of hiding it using right-top corner button, Drag it till it hides.

Like in picture shown below

enter image description here

Now Run your project run window wont appear, When you want it back click on run button in horizontal bar.

Working perfectly for me .

To disable this annoying thing forever (within the current project), open Run/Debug Configurations and click Edit configuration templates.... enter image description here

Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck Activate tool window.

Although to be honest, I've found no point in the Run tab at all, so I switched it off completely. It doesn't seem to be more useful than Logcat.

  • Thank you, it helped me, but I encountered another problem, which is in the editing layout screen, when selecting something(like textView), it takes about 4 seconds to display the attributes. Is there a solution? Unfortunately, this is the worst version of Android Studio :( – mody Mar 06 '23 at 16:18
  • @mody What is your version of Android Studio? Mine is **Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 Patch 2**, and when I click on a widget in **Design** mode, it takes approximately a half of a second for the attributes of the widget to appear. Furthermore, it depends on how powerful your PC is. If the current version of Android Studio doesn't satisfy you, you can download any of the previous ones [here](https://developer.android.com/studio/archive). – bighugedev Mar 08 '23 at 21:16
  • Yes, I have the latest version of Android Studio, and the specifications of my computer are good (16 GB RAM and Core i7 gen 10). After updating the latter, it takes about 4 seconds to show the attributes, and here I mean when choosing when clicking on the design screen, not the component tree – mody Mar 09 '23 at 11:27

I have a workaround that show Logcat tab instead of Run tab.

From Run menu do Edit Configurations… > Miscellaneous > Show logcat automatically

show Logcat tab instead of Run tab

For Android Studio Giraffe 2022.3.1 and above:

In case you cannot find setting icon like this you can get to that setting by Run/Edit Configurations... scroll down and untick Activate tool window like this.
