Class Overview

A presentation is a special kind of dialog whose purpose is to present content on a secondary display. A Presentation is associated with the target Display at creation time and configures its context and resource configuration according to the display's metrics.

Notably, the Context of a presentation is different from the context of its containing Activity . It is important to inflate the layout of a presentation and load other resources using the presentation's own context to ensure that assets of the correct size and density for the target display are loaded.

A presentation is automatically canceled (see cancel() ) when the display to which it is attached is removed. An activity should take care of pausing and resuming whatever content is playing within the presentation whenever the activity itself is paused or resumed.

Choosing a presentation display

Before showing a Presentation it's important to choose the Display on which it will appear. Choosing a presentation display is sometimes difficult because there may be multiple displays attached. Rather than trying to guess which display is best, an application should let the system choose a suitable presentation display.

There are two main ways to choose a Display .

Using the media router to choose a presentation display

The easiest way to choose a presentation display is to use the MediaRouter API. The media router service keeps track of which audio and video routes are available on the system. The media router sends notifications whenever routes are selected or unselected or when the preferred presentation display of a route changes. So an application can simply watch for these notifications and show or dismiss a presentation on the preferred presentation display automatically.

The preferred presentation display is the display that the media router recommends that the application should use if it wants to show content on the secondary display. Sometimes there may not be a preferred presentation display in which case the application should show its content locally without using a presentation.

Here's how to use the media router to create and show a presentation on the preferred presentation display using getPresentationDisplay() .

The following sample code from ApiDemos demonstrates how to use the media router to automatically switch between showing content in the main activity and showing the content in a presentation when a presentation display is available.

Using the display manager to choose a presentation display

Another way to choose a presentation display is to use the DisplayManager API directly. The display manager service provides functions to enumerate and describe all displays that are attached to the system including displays that may be used for presentations.

The display manager keeps track of all displays in the system. However, not all displays are appropriate for showing presentations. For example, if an activity attempted to show a presentation on the main display it might obscure its own content (it's like opening a dialog on top of your activity).

Here's how to identify suitable displays for showing presentations using getDisplays(String) and the DISPLAY_CATEGORY_PRESENTATION category.

The following sample code from ApiDemos demonstrates how to use the display manager to enumerate displays and show content on multiple presentation displays simultaneously.

for information on how to enumerate displays and receive notifications when displays are added or removed.

Public Constructors

Public presentation ( context outercontext, display display).

Creates a new presentation that is attached to the specified display using the default theme.

public Presentation ( Context outerContext, Display display, int theme)

Creates a new presentation that is attached to the specified display using the optionally specified theme.

Public Methods

Public display getdisplay ().

Gets the Display that this presentation appears on.

The display.

public Resources getResources ()

Gets the Resources that should be used to inflate the layout of this presentation. This resources object has been configured according to the metrics of the display that the presentation appears on.

The presentation resources object.

public void onDisplayChanged ()

Called by the system when the properties of the Display to which the presentation is attached have changed. If the display metrics have changed (for example, if the display has been resized or rotated), then the system automatically calls cancel() to dismiss the presentation.

getDisplay()

public void onDisplayRemoved ()

Called by the system when the Display to which the presentation is attached has been removed. The system automatically calls cancel() to dismiss the presentation after sending this event.

public void show ()

Inherited from show() . Will throw WindowManager.InvalidDisplayException if the specified secondary Display can't be found.

Protected Methods

Protected void onstart ().

Called when the dialog is starting.

protected void onStop ()

Called to tell you that you're stopping.

Introduction

A presentation is a special kind of dialog whose purpose is to present content on a secondary display.

A Presentation is associated with the target Display at creation time and configures its context and resource configuration according to the display's metrics.

Notably, the Context of a presentation is different from the context of its containing Activity .

It is important to inflate the layout of a presentation and load other resources using the presentation's own context to ensure that assets of the correct size and density for the target display are loaded.

A presentation is automatically canceled (see Dialog#cancel() ) when the display to which it is attached is removed.

An activity should take care of pausing and resuming whatever content is playing within the presentation whenever the activity itself is paused or resumed.

Choosing a presentation display

Before showing a Presentation it's important to choose the Display on which it will appear.

Choosing a presentation display is sometimes difficult because there may be multiple displays attached.

Sometimes there may not be a preferred presentation display in which case the application should show its content locally without using a presentation.

Here's how to use the media router to create and show a presentation on the preferred presentation display using android.media.MediaRouter.RouteInfo#getPresentationDisplay() .

For example, if an activity attempted to show a presentation on the main display it might obscure its own content (it's like opening a dialog on top of your activity).

Creating a presentation on the main display will result in android.view.WindowManager.InvalidDisplayException being thrown when invoking #show() .

Here's how to identify suitable displays for showing presentations using DisplayManager#getDisplays(String) and the DisplayManager#DISPLAY_CATEGORY_PRESENTATION category.

The following sample code from ApiDemos demonstrates how to use the display manager to enumerate displays and show content on multiple presentation displays simultaneously.

Android Studio Productivity Course

Features and shortcuts guide with tips & tricks to strengthen your flow on macos, windows & linux.

Krzysztof Marczewski

ProAndroidDev

What and why? (TL;DR)

There are four reasons that differentiate this post from others that seem to be similar.

The idea behind it.
Learning strategies.
Visual examples associated with functionality explanation and keyboard shortcuts for macOS, Windows and Linux.
It’s quite comprehensive, so it may be the only guide you need to read.

Throughout this article, I will present ways to improve work in the Android Studio IDE (AS). You will see in action a lot of hidden features and associated keyboard shortcuts, with their advantages. I will show you how, and encourage you to use Android Studio almost exclusively with your keyboard to become faster and more productive during everyday work. Finally, I will give you handy learning techniques to better assimilate this content. Almost any Android Developer should find something useful here, but this post is addressed to people with at least little familiarity with Android Studio or IntelliJ. If you are already fluent with AS, I would suggest to at least go through all the things I listed, and write down those you might don’t know or don’t remember well. I’m sure you will find at least one useful thing.

Use as much keyboard as possible

We’re learning shortcuts, to automate repetitive tasks, which means doing and delivering things faster. As it is the trait of experts, I think this is an important thing that will boost your fluency.

It would be best if you will use the keyboard only. As I heard, IntelliJ (which Android Studio is based on) has been designed so that it can be operated without the mouse. I will show you how to take advantage of that later. Of course, Android Studio means working with UI, emulator, etc. where you need to sometimes use a mouse, but almost every other operation you can achieve easily with keyboard only. Especially writing code and navigating through the IDE.

When accomplished, you will gain :

more pleasant and fluent work with greater fun
speed and efficiency — apart from learning keyboard shortcuts, it will be faster to not switch from keyboard to mouse/touchpad back and forth.
more workspace when we write the code, which means more focused work. It’s simply because when you need to open, close, and resize all tabs with a mouse, you’re doing it rarely and thus work in a cluttered environment.

Learn features first

You should learn possibilities, and then shortcuts if needed. Especially if you have hard times with remembering them all. For example with FIND ACTION ( macOS: cmd + shift + A Windows/Linux: control + shift + A ) you just need to write what you want to achieve.

Let’s say you want to be able to pick a font which will use specific characters ≠ → for constructs like != -> . Simply type there ligature and you will be directed to a specific preference panel to do it. I don't think you need a shortcut for that.

This is also handy if you forget some shortcuts. Let’s say for building a project. Just type find action “build”, and voilà — you can run it. Plus you can refresh your memory with the assigned shortcut.

To sum up, first, you need to know possibilities, then shortcuts for the most frequently used features, to get up on speed.

Learning strategy

In order to learn all these fantastic features that I will present to you in a moment, it’s good to have a plan. I can suggest several steps.

THIS COURSE

I divided the presented functionalities into categories and assigned a day number for each. Simply learn one whole category per day by using listed functions intensively throughout the day, and you should know them all in over the week. Trust me, learning them at once, or one functionality per day will not be fast nor efficient. If you want to really learn them and learn them quickly, you need to focus on one category at a time. Plus make revision. After you will finish the whole course, go to the next step.

Of course, there is a probability that some shortcuts and features will be harder to remember than others. In order to learn from mistakes after the course, I would suggest installing Presentation Assistant plugin. That will allow you to see shortcuts corresponded to the action you’ve made with the mouse instead of the keyboard. Not all of them will appear, but the majority should work, so you will know the main pain points. Key Promoter is the second choice.

PRODUCTIVITY GUIDE

If you’re using AS for a while, next thing is to check the Productivity Guide ( Help -> Productivity Guide) . You will be prompted with the list of commands that you were using without shortcuts and an associated shortcut for learning it. With that tool, you will know the main actions you can speed up.

TIP-OF-THE-DAY

You can also stop dismissing tip-of-the-day and actually learn/remember something new. As far as I know, it’s connected with the Productivity Guide as it’s using the same content.

REVISE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTATION

Last but not least check Android Studio keyboard shortcuts and IntelliJ documentation to learn every niche function.

Move around IDE with keyboard only — Day 1

Remove tabs.

Step one, switch tabs off by ( tab placement -> none ). If you only had to pick one thing from this article, I would suggest this one. There are far better methods to navigate through files you will learn on Day 2. Plus you will get more free space.

If you need to work with several files opened, just find action: split vertically / split horizontally . Close divided editor with ( macOS: cmd + W Windows/Linux: ctrl + F4 ).

( macOS: cmd + digit Windows/Linux: alt + digit ) - digits for most important panels:

1 - PROJECT
7 - STRUCTURE of the currently opened file (also macOS: cmd + F12 Windows/Linux: ctrl + F12 as a pop-up)
9 - VERSION CONTROL

I’m using a custom assignment for numbers:

2 - COMMIT (from AS 4.1 it's separated from git panel)
3 - EMULATOR (from AS 4.1 it can be embedded in AS window as panel), so with keyboard shortcut it's finally easy to show and hide it
8 - BUILD VARIANT - helpful when working with multiple flavors

There are also a lot more panels, among others: Terminal, Layout Inspector, Favourites, Profiler, Resource Manager, Gradle, Device File Explorer, Todo list etc.

RESIZING / STRETCHING PANELS

( macOS: cmd + shift + arrow Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + arrow ) - to shrink or expand. Once you've open the panel (i.e. project), you will often want to resize it. Making it by hand is painful as you need to aim perfectly at the point between the panels to be able to drag it. The only thing you need for this shortcut is to have a focus on the panel you want to stretch.

NAVIGATING BETWEEN PROJECT PANEL AND EDITOR

There are two options:

( enter ) to select the file from the project panel or navigation tab. Sometimes ( esc ) is also needed to lose focus from the panel and move focus to the editor. You can combine both actions into one with ( F4 ). If you want IDE to automatically open selected files from project panel, turn on Open Files with Single Click (AS 4.1) so then enter/ecs/F4 won’t be necessary.
to always see the location of the currently opened file in the project panel, use Auto Select Opened File (AS. 4.1)

PREFERENCES

( macOS: cmd + , Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + S ) - handy shortcut, but only when you don't know what exactly you're looking for. If you know, just use the mentioned already FIND ACTION and type name of the desired functionality.

CLUTTERED / UNCLUTTERED WORKSPACE TOGGLE

( macOS: cmd + shift + F12 Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + F12 ) - of course, some panels must be opened in the cluttered version first.

ZEN MODE / DISTRACTION MODE

Assign a shortcut that best suits you. I’m using ( shift + cmd + P ). This should be the mode you're working most of the time. Distraction-Free Mode maximizes editor to the whole window. Zen Mode is the same but on full screen. There is also a PRESENTATION MODE . By default, it has a huge font size and that's why it's best suited for presenting your code rather than working. After you will go back from presentation mode, you may not see previously opened panels. To reopen them you need to use clutter/unclutter toggle. In each of these modes, you can also use panels shortcuts.

NAVIGATE BETWEEN CODE-SPLIT-DESIGN TABS IN LAYOUT’S VIEW

( macOS: ctrl + shift + left arrow or right arrow Windows/Linux: alt + shift + left arrow or right arrow ) If it doesn’t work it means that you need to focus on the workspace in order to do this ( F4) may help.

Search / Recent — Day 2

As you removed tabs, you’re probably wondering about the way to navigate through files you’re using. There are 3 ways to do it:

RECENT FILES

( macOS: cmd + E Windows/Linux: ctrl + E )

RECENT LOCATIONS

( macOS: cmd + shift + E Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + E )

( macOS/Windows/Linux: ctrl + tab ) - both switcher and recent files are useful for picking panels too. While ( ctrl ) still pressed, you can use ( tab ) to go to the next position or ( shift + tab ) to the previous position.

For searching, it’s worth to know all possibilities, but the most universal one is:

SEARCH EVERYWHERE / ALL

( macOS/Windows/Linux: double hit shift ) it's the best because it's also the simplest. On large projects, it can take a while to search all possible options, so it's worth knowing detailed options as well. As you can see, the dialog is always the same, but the following shortcuts are selecting a specific tab.

Specific search shortcuts are self-explanatory:

ACTION SEARCH

( macOS: cmd + shift + A Windows/Linux: control + shift + A ) - preferences, commands, panels, etc.

CLASS SEARCH

( macOS: cmd + O letter Windows/Linux: ctrl + N ) - Kotlin and Java classes, interfaces, enums, etc.

FILE SEARCH

( macOS: cmd + shift + O letter Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + N ) - xml's, drawables, values, so everything in res folder.

SYMBOL SEARCH

( macOS: cmd + alt + O letter Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + shift + N )

Search/replace text within files — Day 3

To search through the content of your files you will need:

SEARCH IN CURRENT FILE

( macOS: cmd + F Windows/Linux: ctrl + F ) - will search only within the opened file.

REPLACE IN FILE

( macOS: cmd + R Windows/Linux: ctrl + R ) - allow modifying searched phrase type.

SEARCH IN PATH

( macOS: cmd + shift + F Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + F ) - will go through the content of each file. By default, it’s looking inside the whole project, but you can narrow down your searches to Module, Directory or Scope. If you’re looking for files with that popup, and you’re not seeing results, check if you’ve picked the right scope. The same rules apply to Replace in Path.

REPLACE IN PATH

( macOS: cmd + shift + R Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + R ) - allow modifying searched instances within the content of files.

CREATE FILE WITH CONTEXTUAL ELEMENT

( macOS: cmd + N Windows/Linux: alt + insert ) - needed focus on the project tab or navigation bar in order to work.

Code navigation/editing — Day 4

Navigate between methods.

( macOS: ctrl + up arrow or down arrow Windows/Linux: alt + up arrow or down arrow ) - may clash with system shortcut on macOS, so you may need to reassign these. I made reassignment on system level for ctrl + opt + cmd + arrows .

( macOS: alt + shift + up arrow or down arrow Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + up arrow or down arrow ) - on selected lines or a whole line beneath the cursor.

INTELLIGENT SELECTION

EXTEND: ( macOS: alt + up arrow Windows/Linux: extend: ctrl + W ) or SHRINK: ( macOS: alt + down arrow Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + W )

BACKWARD / FORWARD NAVIGATION

Let you go back ( macOS: cmd + [ Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + left arrow ) and forth ( macOS: cmd + ] Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + right arrow ) within the last location in the editor.

GO TO ERROR

NEXT ERROR: ( macOS/Windows/Linux: F2 ) or PREVIOUS ERROR ( macOS/Windows/Linux: shift + F2 ).

GO TO DECLARATION / SHOW USAGES

( macOS: cmd + B Windows/Linux: ctrl + B )

GO TO IMPLEMENTATION

( macOS: cmd + option + B Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + B )

QUICK DEFINITION POP-UP

( macOS: alt + space Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + I )

MULTI-CURSOR / SELECT NEXT OCCURRENCE

( macOS: ctrl + g Windows/Linux: alt + J ) on selected text or text beneath the cursor.

MULTI-CURSOR / SELECT ALL OCCURRENCE

( macOS: ctrl + cmd + g Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + shift + J ) on selected text

EXTRACT POP-UP

No shortcut for a pop-up, but there are plenty for specific extraction.

Revision of the basics — Day 5

Duplicate current line.

( macOS: cmd + D Windows/Linux: ctrl + D )

REMOVE CURRENT LINE

( macOS: cmd + backspace Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+L )

COMMENTING CODE

You can comment or uncomment lines and blocks of code using: LINE COMMENT ( macOS: cmd + / Windows/Linux: ctrl + / ) comments or uncomments the current line or selected block with single-line comments ( //… ). BLOCK COMMENT ( macOS: cmd + option + / Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + / encloses the selected block in a block comment ( /*...*/ ).

COLLAPSE / EXPAND METHOD

( macOS: cmd + plus or minus Windows/Linux: ctrl + plus or minus ) - but if you want to do it with all methods in file pick ( macOS: cmd + shift + plus or minus Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + plus or minus ).

( macOS/Windows/Linux: shift + F6 ) - will rename selected phrase or phrase beneath the cursor.

SHOW PARAMETERS

( macOS: cmd + P Windows/Linux: ctrl + P ) - show a list of possible parameters for all constructors, and highlights current based on commas and position.

Building, running, and debugging — Day 6

Build project.

( macOS: cmd + F9 Windows/Linux: ctrl + F9 )

( macOS: ctrl + R Windows/Linux: shift + F10 ) - will build and install app plus turn on an emulator if not opened yet.

( macOS: cmd + F2 Windows/Linux: ctrl + F2 )

RUN APP IN DEBUG MODE

( macOS: ctrl + D Windows/Linux: shift + F9 ) - turn on the emulator if not opened yet.

ATTACH DEBUGGER

(no shortcut — assign ctrl + shift + D ) - it's common for beginner devs (including me in the past), to re-run the app in debug mode in order to debug. If you've got already opened the app, and you want to start debugging, just attach a debugger to the currently running android process.

Other tips and tricks — Day 7

If you’re not using a hierarchy panel like me, assign it to ctrl + h. Very useful when specific code from the past was better than current - here's the way to restore it. Find action local history -> show history .

TOGGLE CASE

( macOS: cmd + shift + U Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + U ) - helps easily change the text to lowercase or uppercase.

QUICK DOCUMENTATION

( macOS: F1 Windows/Linux: ctrl + Q )

CODE COMPLETION

( macOS/Windows/Linux: ctrl + space )

SMART CODE COMPLETION

( macOS/Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + space ) - filters the list of methods and variables by expected type.

SWITCH ARGUMENTS

( macOS: cmd + option + shift + left arrow or right arrow Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + shift + left arrow or right arrow )

CLIPBOARD / PASTE FROM HISTORY

( macOS: cmd + shift + V Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + V )

GO TO RELATED SYMBOL

( macOS: ctrl + cmd + up arrow Windows/Linux: unknown ) - linked xml/class file.

FORMAT CODE

( macOS: cmd + option + L Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + L )

LIVE TEMPLATES

( macOS: cmd + J Windows/Linux: ctrl + J ) - you can create your own templates in Preferences. Most common are these for making toast, logging, and creating todos.

FILE STRUCTURE POP-UP

( macOS: cmd + F12 Windows/Linux: ctrl + F12 ) - pop-up version of Structure Panel.

Assign ( alt + shift + R ). I'm using it to refresh git - sometimes it gets laggy if I'm making updates to commits via terminal via iTerm.

COMPLETE CURRENT STATEMENT

( macOS: cmd + shift + return Windows/Linux: ctrl + shift + enter ) - for example, will add curly braces and go between them.

( macOS: cmd + L Windows/Linux: ctrl + G ) - pop-up where you can go to a specific line (and column) within the opened file. If you're not pair programming, you can easily switch off Show line numbers , as you may not need that while using GO TO LINE.

The second option to search for a specific line of some file is to use Class or File Search and type name of the class followed by colon and number of row e.g. Manifest:15 .

REFACTOR MENU

( macOS: ctrl + T Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + shift + T )

Probably one of the most frequently used Refactor option is Extract Function :

VERSION CONTROL POP-UP

( macOS: ctrl + V Windows/Linux: alt + ` ) - needs git configured first.

SURROUND WITH

( macOS: cmd + option + T Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + T ) - the contextual menu for selected text or text beneath the cursor.

BOILERPLATE CODE GENERATION

( macOS: cmd + n Windows/Linux: alt + insert )

Handy plugins

( macOS: ctrl + shift + A Windows/Linux: ctrl + alt + shift + A ) - will prompt with ADB Operations Popup and let you clear data and uninstall the app with just a single click.

GRADLE STOP

Adds button for gradlew --stop , which then you can assign to shortcut.

NYAN PROGRESS BAR

Nyan cat wherever the loading bar appears.

POWER MORE II

Flames, explosions, etc: check yourself!

Custom Logcat Color

By going to “Android Logcat” preferences, you can manually change colors (check gist content for it), or just hit the gear icon there and import schema with that file. You should know that it will override your other customization, so I would use it on a relatively clean setup.

Learn to move around with the keyboard and resize/show/hide panels — remove tabs immediately.

Some examples could be when you want to showcase a new product, explain a new procedure, introduce a new concept or simply bring everyone up to date with what’s happening in the company. Either way, a robust presentation app for your smartphone could help you save a lot of time and resources. Presenting some of the best presentation apps for smartphones.

The job of a good presentation app is to help create beautiful slides that deliver information, is easy to use, connect with external devices, offer templates, and connect to the cloud.

Probably the most popular presentation app in the world, PowerPoint by Microsoft works on any and every platform including Android and iOS. PowerPoint syncs with Office 365 and OneDrive to provide backup and solve multiple versions issue. It’s easy to use and comes with templates for different categories.

There is a presenter view option where you can see the presentation with speaker notes on your mobile, while the audience will only see the presentation, and not the notes.

Not to be left behind, Apple launched its own presentation app called Keynote. As is pretty common with most Apple apps, Keynote is only available for iOS and macOS platform. So much for cross-platform compatibility. Apple released Keynote for iCloud which works on browser so Windows users could use it but the experience is not the same. Keynote comes with a lot of animations and graphics that you can use in your presentation slides.

There are themes, templates, fonts, colors, and backgrounds to choose from. Works with Apple Pencil so you can highlight certain elements during live presentation, but it works only on iPad Pro for now. Though the app is well-designed comes with beautiful graphics to use, it is only suitable if you are deep inside the Apple ecosystem.

iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, Apple Watch, Apple TV support

4. Google Slides

Not to be left behind, Google launched its own office suite of productivity apps including Slides, a presentation app that works in the browser and mobile apps alike. Slides is completely free even if you are not a paid user and there are no ads. Since most people use Gmail and have a Drive account, using Slides makes a lot of sense. It got all the features you did expect from a presentation app like fonts, colors, sharing and collaborating features, comments which is present in all GSuite apps, and templates.

There is a presentation mode with speaker notes. You can present all the slides from your smartphone directly. The templates are pretty basic and nothing compared to what I saw in Keynotes. Slides biggest strength is real-time collaboration and how it makes it dead simple to make presentations.

5. Haiku Deck

Haiku Deck will completely change the way you create, edit, share, and present slides. With an Instagram like interface, Haiku will give you instant access to over 40 million stock images. That’s a lot. It connects with a number of social media sites to import images from there as well.

Haiku Deck offers beautiful templates that are clutter-free and are designed with their own custom font. There is an option to insert pie or bar chart on the fly. Just insert the values and choose a location. Text will be aligned and spaced automatically so you don’t have to do it manually. AI at its best and a real time saver. On the flip side, Haiku Deck won’t allow you to make design choices, keeping things a little inflexible. Pricing begins at $9.99 per month. Too bad it works on Apple devices only.

6. Remote for PowerPoint Keynote

Creating good presentations is not the only task that you will have to undertake. Once the presentation has been made, you will to literally ‘give it’. That’s where Remote for PowerPoint Keynote comes into the picture. As the name suggests, the app connects with Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote, allowing you to control your presentation using your smartphone.

Instead of using a presenter device, you can simply use your smartphone now. You can also view your presenter notes on the smartphone screen, and read it out loud. There is support for Bluetooth and WiFi as well as IPv6. It also comes with a mouse mode where the app will show a virtual mouse you can use to control the slides movement.

Prezi works differently then traditional presentation apps that we saw earlier above. Instead of showing slides one by one, Prezi will show the entire presentation as a video where different parts will be zoomed in. This creates an interesting effect. The animation effect is pretty cool.

Because Prezi is also on your smartphone, you don’t have to turn back and look at the screen every now and then. Just glance at your phone to view the slide, and slide notes, and carry on. Other features like sharing and collaborating are all there. Pricing begins at $5 per month.

If you are looking for an app that’s simple to use and gets the job done, Google Slides is a great choice. It’s got everything you need and is completely free. If you need a little more control and some extra tools with cross-platform capabilities and desktop clients, Microsoft PowerPoint is the best. Hardcore Apple users should go for Keynote because it’s got killer animations. Haiku Deck got the largest collection of stock photos and connects with every social media site out there.

How to Make Your Presentation More Interactive With Google Slides' Presenter View

Want to make sure your presentation goes smoothly? Here's how Google Slides' Presenter view can help you in presenting more effectively.

When making a presentation, it would be helpful to have notes and other information readily available on the screen. However, if you add notes to your slideshow directly, your audience will see it.

So, how can you add notes that only you can see on Google Slides? Let’s explore the Speaker Notes feature in the browser and mobile apps.

1. How to Add Speaker Notes in Google Slides

Adding notes to each slide will help you have a smoother presentation. This feature ensures that you don’t have to use an external app, sticky notes, or a physical notebook, thus reducing distractions. But how do you add notes when you’re creating a presentation in Google Slides ? Find out below.

Using Google Slides for the Web

When using the browser version on your PC, you can add notes by clicking on the Click to add speaker notes subwindow at the bottom of the screen. After clicking on it, you’re free to type and add notes for that slide. Once you’re done, you only need to click away, and your notes are automatically saved.

When you move to another slide, you’ll notice that the speaker notes field is empty. You can click on this again to fill it with notes for this specific slide.

Using the Google Slides iOS and Android App

Adding speaker notes on the app version is a bit more complicated. First, open the Slides app and the presentation you want to work on. Tap on the slide you want to add notes to, then choose Edit slide .

Once the slide loads into the edit view, tap on the menu in the upper-right corner, then choose Show speaker notes . You’ll then see a Tap to add speaker notes subwindow appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it, and it will fill your screen. You are then free to type the notes you need.

Once you’ve finished adding your notes, tap on the Check Mark on the upper-left corner of the screen. You will return to the edit view with your notes shown at the bottom. To add notes to other slides, you need to swipe to the slide you want to edit, then repeat the process noted above.

2. Viewing Speaker Notes While Presenting

When you’re launching your presentation, you have to launch it under Presenter view to see the notes you added earlier. Here’s how you can open your presentation in the said view.

Opening Presenter View on Your Browser

When you’re ready to show your presentation, don’t click on the Slideshow button. Instead, click on the down-pointing arrow beside it to show a dropdown menu, then choose Presenter view .

Once the slideshow starts, you’ll see your presentation appear on the main tab; then, you’ll see a Presenter view window open. In the small window, you should see your notes appear under the Speaker Notes tab on the right side. You can also control your slideshow by clicking on the Next and Previous slide previews on the left side of the Presenter view window .

Opening Presenter View on the Mobile App

If you’re using the mobile app, you can only see your notes if you present at a Google Meet meeting. To do so, tap on the Play icon at the top menu. In the options that appear, choose Present to a meeting . You then have to input the Meeting ID of the Google Meet you’re presenting to. Once you have typed the correct code, tap on Done .

You’ll then join the Google Meet room in presentation mode. Your slide will appear as the main window, but you’ll see your notes on the lower part of your mobile device’s screen.

3. Asking Your Audience

One way you can interact with your audience is to answer their questions. However, this isn’t easy if you’re presenting to a large crowd. You may not be able to get to all the participants, or some might be too intimidated to ask a question publicly. So, to help you interact with your audience, you can launch Audience Tools .

How to Ask for Questions With the Browser

In the presenter view, click on the Audience Tools tab. Under it, you’ll see a Start New button. Click on it, and this flag will appear on top of your presentation:

Ask a question at slides.app.goo.gl/[code] .

All your audience needs to do is type the link on their browser, and they’ll be redirected to a new tab where they can type their questions. There, they can type in their questions and submit them to you. They can even ask anonymous questions by clicking on the Ask anonymously check box .

When your audience sends their questions, you’ll receive them under the Audience Tools tab. If you find a particular question interesting, you can click on the Present button under the question, so you can flash it on your presentation. You’ll also see audience reactions to the question, with the number of positive or negative reactions the audience has to it.

If you want to move on and want to stop receiving questions, click on the On slider to switch it off.

How to Ask for Questions With a Mobile App

When you’re in the presenter view, tap on the Audience Q&A icon. It’s in the upper-right corner of your screen, the one before the right-most speaker notes icon. You must then tap Start New in the next view.

Once you’ve turned on Audience Q&A, your audience will see the Ask a question flag on top of your presentation. They then need to type that address on a browser to see the questions page.

You will see the questions they typed on your mobile device, and you can then tap on it to flash it on your presentation. If you want to move to the next slide, you must press the back button in the upper-left corner of the screen. Once you’re done answering questions, you can slide the toggle at the upper-right corner of the Audience Q&A view.

4. Draw on the Screen in Your Google Slides

One other nifty feature of Google Slides is that it allows you to draw on the presentation screen. However, you can only do it from a tablet, like an iPad. To use this feature, you must again launch your presentation under Present to a meeting .

Once you’re in the presenter view, tap on the pen icon in the upper-right corner of the screen, beside the Q&A icon. After it’s activated, you’re free to scribble on the active slide. However, once you change slides, all your on-screen annotations will disappear. To turn off the feature, you just need to tap on the pen icon again.

Create an Interactive Presentation With Google Slides

Google Slides provides many features that let you have an interactive presentation. You can become an effective speaker and pass your knowledge to others more efficiently with these tools. And if you’re having difficulty creating a design, why not check out these sources for Google Slides themes.

Cast a presentation from your Android phone

You can walk into a meeting room with just a smartphone and present a slide show on a large screen.

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

Click a section heading below to open it and see the details.

What you need to present from your smartphone

A PowerPoint presentation on your phone or stored in a cloud service such as OneDrive.

An Android phone that supports Miracast. For example:

Check your smartphone manual or check with the manufacturer to find out about Miracast support on your phone.

PowerPoint for Android installed on the phone.

A large screen that supports Miracast.

Some large wall-mounted monitors (and larger TVs) have Miracast built-in. If the monitor or projector doesn’t have Miracast built-in, an adapter can be used. For example:

Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter

Actiontec ScreenBeam products

Other adapter options

To present wirelessly from a Samsung phone to an external screen or projector

The exact steps vary depending on the brand of your phone. This procedure, like the video above, describes the process on a Samsung Galaxy S8 or Note8.

On your phone, slide down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings.

Tap Smart View to open that app.

In Quick Settings, find Smart View and tap to open it

Smart View looks for a nearby monitor that supports Miracast. When it finds the monitor, it connects the phone and the monitor. If multiple screens are available, they'll be listed on your phone screen. Tap a name to connect to it.

When the connection between the phone and the monitor is established, the contents of your screen appear on the monitor.

Once the phone and large screen are connected, the phone screen is copied to the large screen

Navigate through the presentation as you normally would, tapping the forward and back arrows on the left and right side of the slide on your phone.

While the slides appear full-screen on the large monitor, you see Presenter view with notes and navigation controls on the phone screen

To turn on the laser pointer, press and hold the slide. Once it appears, move the pointer by dragging.

PowerPoint for Android App displays black screen

I have seen this question come up previously but there has been no sufficient answer.

I have a Ga;axy Tab S 8+ and a Galaxy Fold 4. When I attempt to display a PowerPoint presentation to an extended (usb connected) screen using presenter mode, the presentation shows a black slide.

The app on the phone and the tablet displays the slide sequence bar at the bottom of that devices screen, but both the current slide window on the device and the displayed slide are black. If I press escape and go back to the editing of the powerpoint, I am able to see the app on both the tablet/phone and the presentation, exended screen.

I have verified that I have the latest os for both the tablet and phone.

I have cleared the cache and data for the PowerPoint app.

I have deleted and downloaded the presentation from the source multiple times on both devices.

I have deleted and re-installed powerpoint more than once on both the tablet and phone.

This seems to be an ongoing problem in the never ending fight between Android and Microsoft.

As these devices and the use of PowerPoint are critical to my process, Please provide a solution for this problem as soonn as possible.

Hi Kris Roberson

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that this situation is difficult, and it might be affecting your business let’s work on this together as team to get to the bottom of this.

For me to better understand the issue, I’d like to ask a few questions:

May I know the version number of your PowerPoint app in android?

Just to confirm, is this happening to all of your PowerPoint presentation?

Can you please do a test and create a new presentation and present from your android?

We look forward to your reply.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you for your reply.

I have attempted with other PowerPoints and do not have the same issue. PowerPoints from the same source as the first one have similar issues.

I will have to investigate why the presentations from that source have issues.

Thank you for your time.

Hello, Thank you for your reply. I have attempted with other PowerPoints and do not have the same issue. PowerPoints from the same source as the first one have similar issues. I will have to investigate why the presentations from that source have issues. Thank you for your time. Kris

Thank you for the information!

This is a possible formatting issue and not a PowerPoint app problem since the other presentation was working.

You might want to reach out to the source of the file and ask details how it was created.

I still have the same problem.. with the original ppt.. a new made one and another one..

Still getting black screen after setting presentation modus ON

1 person found this reply helpful

I have the same even with ppt created on the phone.

Getting the same issue. PowerPoint running on a Samsung S21 Ultra will go to a black screen in presenter mode, with or without an external screen.

Office version 1.0.1 (16.0.16827.20138)

Android 13. Patch level 1 Sept 23

Good day all. I have the same problem. Presenting a slide deck using an external projector and the presenter view resulted in black slides after the third or fourth slide. I am running office most updated version at this time from the playstore- 1.0.1(16.0.16827.20116) with android 13 UI 5.1.1 on a Samsung s7FE. To fix this I tried the following (you will need a computer)

Open the PowerPoint file.

Go to "info"

go to "Inspect presentation" then "present document" (I left out presenter notes as I needed them in my file)

Remove all found items

The presentation then worked until it was closed and the projector removed. Upon using the presentation again it went black after 3 slides again.

A took another example of the file and did the above process. It did not resolve the issue even once.

Also I have attempted removing all transitions and animations.

I hope this can be resolved.

2 people found this reply helpful

I was able to reproduce this. If you disconnect the projector then reconnect it the slide show will go black a few slide into a previously working slideshow.

Hi, I'm facing the same issue.

Slides do not show when presenting. Just Grey.

I'm on Samsung S22 Ultra.

For ppts created by me on my PC but also created directly on the Android app.

No reply from Microsoft?

Nobody uses ppt on android?

Android 15 may finally allow you to force dark mode in any app.

The feature is good to go, just waiting for Google to flip the switch and make it visible

Android 15 has a hidden feature that allows you to force dark mode on any app, improving consistency and appearance.
The new "make all apps dark" option is a big upgrade from the current "override force-dark" feature in Android, enhancing dark mode.
Google is likely to make the new dark mode control easily accessible in the accessibility settings.

On most Android phones, there's already a default setting for dark mode, but loads of your favorite Android apps don't support that option yet. However, Android 15 has a hidden feature that will let you make any app go into dark mode, even if it doesn't have it built-in.

In a fresh APK teardown by Mishaal Rahman over at Android Authority , we get a preview of a new feature that will supposedly let you force dark mode on every single app on your device. This new "make all apps dark" option looks like a big upgrade from what Android currently offers, called "override force-dark." The big difference is that the upcoming feature will make dark mode look way better and more consistent across all your apps.

Google designed "override force-dark" as a quick way for developers to add a dark theme to their apps "without explicitly setting a DayNight theme," as per the company's developer documents cited by Rahman. It analyzes each part of your app and slaps on a dark theme before showing it on your screen. But you might have to give it the green light to "force" apps into dark mode. On the other hand, you can always opt out for certain apps.

How to enable and schedule dark mode on your Android phone

Now, Rahman discovered something interesting. The new "make all apps dark" feature seems to apply to more apps than the existing option. It also looks like the developer's opt-out option doesn't work anymore. Check out the screenshots below comparing how it works with apps like Fitbit and Amazon compared to the old solution.

Rahman pointed out that this upcoming feature actually popped up in the Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 update back in January, though Google tucked away the toggle under Settings > Accessibility > Color and motion .

It's ready, just waiting for Google's green light

Google is likely to put the toggle for the new dark mode control right in the accessibility settings once it becomes public. That's a smart move, making it way easier to find and signaling that this feature isn't something Google wants to hide from users anymore.

Since this feature is still a work in progress, how it ends up might not be exactly what we've seen so far. But the fact that it's in the developer preview means Google is definitely thinking about giving users more say in how their apps look.
