Missing console output

See original GitHub issue

What happened

Sometimes my run console doesn’t print any output. Someone else describe it here in details: https://stackoverflow.com/q/53874157/1973391

Steps to Reproduce

It’s really randomly bug but it happened me few times so I decided to create this issue.

MacOS: Go to: /Users/userName/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio3.4/options Find “runner.layout.xml” Change the name of this file for ex: runner01.layout.xml Restart Android studio

Hi there!

So I don’t know where the issue is, but you can minimize the console output in the run tab by clicking this small arrow on the console tab name:

But after you click it there is now way to restore it!

You will have to restore ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio3.4/options/runner.layout.xml (macOS but same should apply for other OS) this lines:

       <ViewImpl>
         <option name="ID" value="ConsoleContent" />
         <option name="minimizedInGrid" value="false" />
         <option name="placeInGrid" value="bottom" />
         <option name="tabIndex" value="-1" />
         <option name="window" value="0" />
       </ViewImpl>

Replace

<option name="minimizedInGrid" value="true" />

<option name="minimizedInGrid" value="false" />

And it’s back again!
