I’m launching a series called Android Productivity Guide – APG, in which I’ll share a daily tip for 21 days that will improve your overall Android development experience.
When working on an Android project, there are numerous distractions in the IDE itself, such as tools windows, project windows, menus, and so on, which might divert your focus away from the code.
There are other times when you just want to focus on programming and nothing else.
To deal with this, go to View -> Appearance -> Enter Zen mode and activate it. When you go to Zen Mode, the main window expands, leaving only the editor with the source code for you to concentrate on programming.
The visual of Zen Mode is seen below, and it is noticeably better than regular mode. It’s a feature you should try out.
how do you return to the normal mode? what is the normal view mode called? It is too easy in AndroidStudio to get into an unwanted mode, and not know what you did or how to return. Totally frustrated with it’s UI.
