Android studio breadcrumb method signature

Question

I am looking for Breadcrumb functionality like Eclipse in Android Studio.

In Eclipse Breadcrumb shows "method signature" when pointer(cursor) come inside whereas in Android Studio Breadcrumb is good for nothing.

Please find attached for better insight.

Answer 1

Seems this feature gone away. You should use:

Ctrl+F12 OR CMD+F12

Answer 2

Pressing Alt+Q displays the name of the current context, which is actually the method name (Context Info) quickly and easily.

Answer 3

You can enable it via View -> Navigation Bar and check it.

But it will show breadcrumb/navigation upto class only and not upto the method signature.

As suggessted by AVEbrahimi also, ctrl+F12 will show method signature.

Answer 4

Here are two ways to see the method signature through a tool tip that hovers next to the method you have selected or put the caret on.

Press ctrl + P with the method selected.

or

Go to View > Show Parameter Info with the method selected.

I found the above solution on the second link I looked at after this one. The link was for a different IDE but the hotkey works in Android Studio.

Show Parameter Info

Also, you can go to Settings > Editor Under "Other" check "Show quick doc on mouse move". This will show a popup tool tip with information about the method including parameter info.

Found that here:

Answer 5

The accepted answer is not correct.

The feature is still here in 2018.

It's under View -> Active Editor -> Show Breadcrums.

The breadcrums are situated south of the current editing window, not north as in Eclipse.
