What does the green dot that sometimes appear inside the Run
button mean, exactly?
This green dot is a tool that allows you to know when an application is accessing the device's camera or microphone in real time by displaying a green dot at the top of the notification panel.
Run lint using the standalone tool If you're not using Android Studio or Gradle, you can use the standalone lint tool after you install the Android SDK Command-Line Tools from the SDK Manager. You can then locate the lint tool at android_sdk /cmdline-tools/ version /bin/lint .
Android Studio is based on Intellij IDEA.
Quote from Intellij IDEA:
Now every run configuration has a small green indicator that tells you if it’s running.
This green circle indicates that the selected run configuration is now running. Try stopping it, and see the green circle disappear.
