android studio ctrl + space opens documentation window

AndroidAndroid Studio

Android Problem Overview


I have updated my Android Studio to the newest version, but now when I call the auto-completion/suggestions with CTRL+SPACE the suggestion box opens but the documentation window opens as well.

Has anyone experienced this and know how to disable the opening of the documentation window?

Solution 1 - Android

I'm using Android Studio 0.8.1 on OSX and have been experiencing the same irritating behavior.

The answer by @daniel-gabriel was not was I was looking for.

A better solution seems to be to go to Preferences > IDE Settings section > Editor > Code Completion (in AS 1.2.2 located in Preferences->Editor->General) and unticking the option Autopopup documentation in (ms):

Solution 2 - Android

Ctrl-Q toggles between doc window states (when using the default keymap).

Possible states are:

-Hidden
-Shown to the side of the auto-complete list
-Docked as one of the tabs

If you have a different keymap, you can search for this action in Settings -> Keymap. The action is called "Quick Doc".

Solution 3 - Android

For ubuntu 14.04 : File > Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion

And unticking Autopopup Documentation will hide it.

Solution 4 - Android

For Windwos && Linux (ubuntu) :

File > Settings > Editor > General > Code Completion

For Mac :

Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > General > Code Completion

1. unChecked : AutoPopup documentation (in CodeCompletion)

2. unChecked : AutoPopup (in Parameter Info)

Solution 5 - Android

On Mac OSX, to restore the Documentation window to an auto-hide popup, toggle the popup window toolbar to checked state, from the popup windows gear icon, and then click "Restore Popup" icon in the documentation window toolbar.

Solution 6 - Android

I prefer the quicker solutions...

Press Ctrl + Space and let the "Documentation" window pop-up.

  1. Click on the Settings icon and uncheck all the options except "Docked Mode".
  2. Now push documentation window to the right, so as to make it invisible.

With this even though with press of "Ctrl + Space", internally command will pass to open the Documentation Window but it will not be visible and interfere with the workspace.

I hope that helps. Happy Coding...
