I have a problem because I am using a tiling window manager, everytime I open an XML file, in Android studio, then these two small windows open op and block my view of the code. I don't know how I can permanently disable the windows/toolbars/view, (or what you call them)

I use Mod+Q to exit them every time I open the XML file, and it is quite tiring, so I am wondering if there is a way to get rid of these useless panels for goods :-)

I already searched alot in the settings of android studio, and I tried to click remove from sidebar and I even found out that you can click Shift+Escape to hide it, but my fingers gets tired from all this extra clicking everytime I enter XML split mode... :-)

Please Help Me - and thanks in advance! :-)

view of how the windows look when they pop up everytime i open an XML file

Thanks in advance.

  • Thank you Alireza. But I want to get rid of them and never see them again. My problem is that they return every time I enter the XML file. – mama Oct 27 '20 at 19:54
  • @mama even if you hide them by minimize icon, they will be back to screen every time you enter any xml file ?! – Alireza Oct 28 '20 at 06:05
  • No, they return everytime. Even if I have to windows open and I click between the windows, then the panels pop up. It is unbearable :'D – mama Oct 28 '20 at 14:52
  • from file -> invalidate cashes / restart -> invalidate And restart if your problem not solved, delete this folder : c:\user\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioX, it will clear android studio setting, then reset it android studio will not remove. – Alireza Oct 29 '20 at 07:59
  • No it is still the same. I don't use windows btw. – mama Nov 04 '20 at 17:56
