This may seem trivial, but I really can`t find anything with Google, so I ask here: What is the "Android Studio Terminal pane" mentioned here (under "Add the configuration file to your project"), https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/client and where can I find it?

Here it is! Bottom of your Android Studio, select Terminal. enter image description here

You can also go to: Tools -> Open Terminal

Hint for Android Studio: Menu Help -> Find Action -> type what are you looking for. Android Studio will give you couple matches accordingly to your search criteria. Most of the times you can find what you are looking for with this "Find Action" option.

The Android Studio Terminal Pane is the command prompt for Android devices and can be accessed through the following steps:

  • Navigate to the top toolbar and click View
  • Cick on Tools Window and select Terminal

Access Terminal

Alternativiely you can just press ALT + F12

This is the shortcut for the Terminal.

The function of the Terminal is to help you run commands on you Virtual device directly from the Terminal.

Hope this helps :)

    "The Android Studio Terminal Pane is the command prompt for Android devices" - it provided access to the system's terminal window and can do here anything you can do from your system's prompt, it's not limited to Android devices management. – aga Aug 27 '15 at 09:13
  • Can you launch this terminal standalone(without Android studio)? – Dokuzov May 04 '16 at 07:28
  • You can use the adb tools to run the terminal without Android Studio. [Here](http://www.androidcentral.com/android-201-10-basic-terminal-commands-you-should-know) is a list of basic commands. – Michele La Ferla May 04 '16 at 08:23
  • Actually this shortcut can be used for all programs developed by JetBrains. – Michele La Ferla Aug 16 '19 at 06:46
  • This feature is a redundant/uselesss thing. The environment isn't even readily configured for Android SDK. – mr5 Jul 25 '20 at 12:33

Android Terminal - this is command line.

No difference actually between using Android Terminal or using command line.

This is just a handy tool inside IDE.

You can find it in View -> Tool Windows -> Terminal or tap double Shift and type Terminal

Tip : in any cases you can use double Shift for find everything in Intellij Idea

Android Studio Panel is like Normal terminal, but there is the difference between them. Normal Terminal point home directory of operating system and Android Studio terminal point the directory of Project.
