09/08/2022, 12:58 AMI don't have that option, and I"m on EE. I wonder if we Linux users are getting the short end of the stick with these features.

09/08/2022, 4:19 AMOK I am finding out more troubleshooting steps for you, thanks for giving it a go
Ben Trengrove [G]
09/08/2022, 9:47 AMDo you have multiple versions of studio open by any chance? Can you see any errors in logcat?
z
Zoltan Demant
09/08/2022, 9:56 AMJust one studio, I see a lot of "presentDisplay display has no layers to compose, flushing client target buffer." but I dont know if its related to this? Thats basically my entire logcat currently.

Colton Idle
09/08/2022, 1:49 PMI'm on latest compose, latest agp, and latest studio. all canaries/alphas, etc and this doesn't work for me.
f
Francesc
09/08/2022, 5:20 PMdoesn't work as in you don't see recomposition count or doesn't work as in you don't have the option to turn this on?
c
Colton Idle
09/08/2022, 10:22 PMoption doesn't show
f
Francesc
09/08/2022, 10:23 PMso we're all on the same boat

andrew
09/08/2022, 10:24 PMI'm able to in my AS, but I doubt IJ works because it's out of sync

Ben Trengrove [G]
09/09/2022, 5:29 PMOK here is another one, are you testing in debug? Layout inspector can only inspect debug builds
c
Colton Idle
09/09/2022, 5:38 PMYes
f
Francesc
09/09/2022, 6:32 PMis this feature behind a flag with a staged rollout? there does not seem to be any other reason some of us wouldn't get it
b
Ben Trengrove [G]
09/10/2022, 7:02 AMNo it shouldn't be
Ben Trengrove [G]
09/12/2022, 9:31 AMCan anyone please send me a screenshot of the "Show recomposition counts" not showing?

09/12/2022, 10:51 AMOne thing that is hidden in some other issues too and not documented enough, you must not exclude *.version in the packaging options for the LayoutInspector to even start trying to do compose stuff (So no

jannis
09/13/2022, 9:24 AMSame for me. It doesn't show the recomposition count option (on a Mac, since you mentioned Linux). The only related logcat entry I found is this:

Ben Trengrove [G]
09/13/2022, 4:02 PM@jannis would you be able to open a bug on our issue tracker with you idea.log file please? Help -> Show Log In Finder. I haven't seen that log before so maybe it will help us diagnose what is going on. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:196607

09/13/2022, 6:17 PMWill do 👍 however this came from logcat. Not the InelliJ log

I didn't have permissions to create the issue directly for the Layout Inspector 🤷♀️

09/21/2022, 12:19 PMI almost dont wanna report it because this seemed like such a wholesome moment 😅 But.. It does not work for me on the same flamingo release 🦩

jannis
09/22/2022, 3:23 PMI have no clue why, but it started working for me after using it once on an emulator. Afterwards it worked on my real device as well 🤷♀️
