This has already been answered, but since when I google "android studio maximize tab" this is the first answer I see, I'm going to add my two cents.

I hate the keyboard shortcuts since, at any given time, I have 1 hand on my keyboard and 1 hand on my mouse. Having to let go of my mouse to hit a 3-key combination to maximize the current tab is not a shortcut. What I was looking for was an Eclipse-style behavior: double-click the tab to maximize. Here's how to do that:

In Android Studio, under Preferences, go to Keymap->Main Menu->Window->Active Tool Window. Right-click the "Maximize tool window" mapping and select "Add mouse shortcut."

For "Click Count" pick "Double Click" and then double-click on the "Click Pad" mouse icon.

Click OK out of the menus and you should now be able to double-click on any tab and it will be maximized. Double-clicking again will minimize it.

Coming from Eclipse to IntelliJ, this was one of the most frustrating aspects I've had to deal with.
