Possible causes

  1. Android plugin is not installed / enabled
  2. Misconfigured path to Android SDK in the IDE settings (corrupted / missing information). Check this comment for details.

Solutions

  1. Make sure that the Android plugin is installed and enabled:

  2. Make sure that Android SDK is configured correctly in Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Android SDK Updater Try editing and re-saving the path to force the IDE to update its settings.

  3. Invoke the Logcat tool window via View | Tool Windows | Logcat

If none of the above helps:

  • Submit a new bug report on IDEA bug tracker: unfurl:Issues: project: {IDEA}
  • Collect IDE logs via Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data and attach them to the report for analysis
