Android Studio with two monitors

Tags:

I installed Android Studio 0.8.2 I am not able to get it working with two monitors. If I have the main application in the left monitor, I want to be able to have the other windows like Event Log,Messages, etc.. docked together in the right monitor.

I can get the windows over to the right, but only if I check floating on the window. And when I do get the window over there to the right, when I click anywhere back on the left monitor, the windows in the right monitor disappear. I am also not able to figure out how to dock multiple windows together in the right monitor.

I was able to do all of this very easily with Eclipse. Should I just go back to Eclipse?

Have a look at the official documentation for Tool Windows.

In particular, you may want to refer to the Viewing Modes's Fixed / floating mode section on how to disable transparency for floating windows. Tool windows should not disappear when they lose focus, but they can become semi-transparent.

Additionally, you can have a read through this article which provides a lot of useful information for Eclipse users when switching to IntelliJ IDEA / Android Studio.
