Android studio automatically open's documentation view

Android Studio

Android Studio Problem Overview

I don't know if it is bug or kind of setting, but it is very annoying while typing value i.e. android:layout_gravity="", it opens hints with dropdown, and after a while the documentation view gets opened and hides the dropdown with hints.

I checked that no button is suspended or anything like that. I use Ubuntu 14.04.

Preferences > Editor > General > CodeCompletion > uncheck Auto popup feature

Solution 4 - Android Studio

Note that this functionality has been moved recently. It's now in:

>Android Studio -> Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Other.

Uncheck "quick documentation on mouse move".

Solution 5 - Android Studio

I found out that I don't want to disable the documentation. Instead, I set the window to be 'Opened as Popup',

This displays the documentation aside to the cursor and autocloses it automatically.

Surely I've set it before as a 'Tool Window' to see the full content and then I forgot to set it back.
