I don't think the average developer understands the distinction between method references and method definitions in this context (inside a DEX file). I know I don't.

@jvg, can you elaborate?

people who are looking at the bytecode in the dex to optimize their app through shrinking hopefully will learn the difference as string tables for method references between various dex files can account for quite a bit of disk space. but more importantly a definition is something you can analyze its code for where a reference you can't so the UI can be confusing without seeing the difference

How about something like this?

I think having defined members be directly under the class node while references are nested in a group makes more sense.

Also note that the method refs have a slightly different icon. There is no existing equivalent for field refs that I could find.

sounds reasonable to me, thanks

@6 Seems you've still not understood the bug. The bug is with real devices! Not emulators. I've asked you why would you think it's about emulators, and I've shown you on screenshots where to look in the thread I've created, and told you that if you insist on me testing on emulators, I've shown you what happens there. I've also mentioned Android 15 of upgrading to it, right on the title. On which Android emulator do you think there is a way to upgrade the OS itself? Maybe possible technically, but I don't think it's a visible feature.

Why can't you spend at least 5 seconds in reading the title...

You can't imagine how many titles we have to read through.

Please reproduce the issue again and attach the output of adb logcat -d >logcat.txt and of Help > Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data.

@8 So don't use much more than 5 seconds in doing things that are intended to be done after reading well what it's about. I didn't even write much.

Look at @2 and @4 . They both show that with the time spent on writing illogical questions, it could have been spent on reading a single sentence.

@9 Attached.

Please bear in mind this bug will be read by many engineers and all of them will have to "spend at least 5 seconds" and to make reasonable and, sometimes, unreasonable guesses. Not all Android Studio engineers know specifics of Emulator system image updates.

@11 So don't let people who don't know about emulators change the category I've set, to be related to emulator. The title is enough to understand that I'm talking about real devices : Updating, and mirroring. Both of these are very rare to talk about in terms of emulators.

We still can't update the OS on emulators, and mirroring is also a bit weird. Might be useful if you want to have the "Google Play Games Developer Emulator" content be visible right on the IDE.

Could you please put the attached studioFlags.xml into C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview2024.2\options, restart Studio, eproduce the issue again and attach the output of adb logcat -d >logcat.txt and of Help > Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data. Thank you.

@13 Attached. Also notice that I've updated the IDE and the issue still exists.

The message

10-27 04:28:28.824 11889 11889 W studio.screen.sharing: Unable to turn off display

indicates that the DisplayManagerGlobal.requestDisplayPower(0, 1) call returned false. I'm not able to reproduce this error on any of my Pixel phones. Please let me know the Android build number your phone is running.

@15 It's this one:

AP3A.241005.015

The issue is indeed reproducible with AP3A.241005.015. Investigating.

It turns out that the DisplayManagerGlobal.requestDisplayPower method was not included in AP3A.241005.015. A fix is coming.

The fix will be included in the next Ladybug Feature Drop canary build.

@19 When? Also, I've noticed a different issue with mirroring, which is more about adb itself with Android 15: It can sometimes fail to reconnect for cases that it worked fine before.

I've reported this here:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/376486321

Please fix this. It's much more annoying, and it affects not just mirroring this time...
