This is more of a helpful tip/warning than a question. For someone else that might attempt what I did. Android Studio Dolphin (Not sure about other versions) on Mac and also Windows is stuck on Startup Screen after I installed 5 plugins for CSV support at the same time (Rainbow CSV, Cap-Hadoop, ExcelEditor, ExcelReader, and CSV).

Below is the image of the issue

If anyone has a solution that will be awesome.

I just encountered the same issue today, I was able to fix it by deleting those plugins from the app's data roaming folder, you can access them by typing %APPDATA% in the "Run" app (Windows Key + R) or directly in the folder explorer.

Once there, Google -> AndroidStudio2021.3 (or whatever version you are using) -> Plugins.

EDIT: Mac equivalent is User/Library/Application Support/Google/"version of Android Studio"/plugins Library might be hidden in User folder so Shift+Command+. to show it (thanks to TwistenTiger)

Hope it helps!

  • Thanks mate, got my Android Studio on Windows working will try on MacOS later. I think it's the Excel Plugins as I accidentally left them and AS Dolphin didn't open, then went back and deleted them and worked. – TwistenTiger Oct 07 '22 at 05:33

    Tested on MacOS works now, updated the Mac equivalent. Thank you – TwistenTiger Oct 07 '22 at 05:49
  • I had the issue after installing plugins directly from AS marketplace to open csv files with some formatting, could be related to Excel though. Glad it worked, you're welcome! – PinguPausa Oct 07 '22 at 14:17
