Android Studio Setup and UI issues

  1. I recently started watching a getting started video on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZddHwDYqyIw

and I followed him to where he opens Main_Activity.xml, I am not able to find the design/text tabs, I looked everywhere (I use the same build he does), I am not sure if Tool Windows>Designer will bring me to that, but even if i did, it is disabled, I am not able to click it!

  1. Another issue is I get and IDE error ONLY when I create a new fresh project,

IDE Internal Error occured

IllegalStateException: Cant target data of key 'IdeaAndroidProject'. Given Class loaders: [PluginClassLoader[org.jetbrains.android, 10.0]]: Cant deserialize target data of Key 'IdeaAndroidProject'

//event log

3:14:34 AM IllegalStateException: Can't deserialize target data of key 'IdeaAndroidProject'. Given class loaders: [PluginClassLoader[org.jetbrains.android, 10.0]]: Can't deserialize target data of key 'IdeaAndroidProject'. Given class loaders: [PluginClassLoader[org.jetbrains.android, 10.0]]
  1. Project 'structure'/layout

In the video, the presentor has a exploror type layout to browsw through his projects, all I see in mine (when I select the project tab on top left)is

Project (Down arrow)
  build.gradle
  gradlew
  gradlew.bat
  local.properties
  settings.gradle
  External Libraries

nothing else, on top of that it has a type of address bar, but that is not what I want,

Any help would be appreciated!

Solution

  • Close, reopen, check

    View>Windows>"Project Manager/Browser"

    of sorts.

    If not, redownload, and you should have your default setup!
