Android Studio: Javadoc is empty on hover

androidandroid-studiointellij-ideajavadoc

I have moved from Eclipse to Android Studio recently, and am liking it. However, I miss the Javadoc on hover feature from Eclipse.

I followed the instructions here to add the functionality, however, my hovers contain no Javadoc. If I use my documentation shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Space it will show the documentation correctly, however, I really want it to come up in the Tooltip.

Below is a screenshot of what I see. Clearly, there should be a Javadoc on this method.

enter image description here

I see this on all methods/variables. Any help is appreciated.

Turns out the docs hover page was simply resized to be very short. Carefully moving the mouse down to the bottom of the hover page allowed me to resize it.

Even after resizing it though, I still see it return to it's tiny size quite often... I'm glad I have my docs back, even if it does mean dealing with this annoyance.

Android – How to close/hide the Android soft keyboard programmatically

You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your focused view.

// Check if no view has focus:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases, you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down the menu).

Note: If you want to do this in Kotlin, use: context?.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager

Kotlin Syntax

// Only runs if there is a view that is currently focused
this.currentFocus?.let { view ->
    val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as? InputMethodManager
    imm?.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0)
}

Android – unique Android device ID

Settings.Secure#ANDROID_ID returns the Android ID as an unique for each user 64-bit hex string.

import android.provider.Settings.Secure;

private String android_id = Secure.getString(getContext().getContentResolver(),
                                                        Secure.ANDROID_ID);
