Okay, so I am trying to get to know the android studio and been playing with few projects. My question is how can I run or debug an app and then open the hierarchy view on it. If I try to open the Android Device Monitor, while the app is running, I get the message: "Following debug sessions will be closed:xx". I see a small Android DDMS window, which opens while debugging or running, where I see the options for Method tracing and allocation tracking, but what about Hierarchy view?
I'm not sure about the gui, but there are instructions for launching it from the cli, here.
- From a terminal, launch hierarchyviewer from the
<sdk>/tools/directory.
You can determine your <sdk> directory in Android Studio via:
File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location
