Android Studio Palette is disabled

I haven't see since when, but my palette doesn't show up, I did some search about it, they say: "Restart the project", but I don't know why when I go in View >> Tool Windows, palette is disabled:

Show menu where palette is disabled

I did a update too, to see if it appeared but it didn't. Logcat say:

0 warnings.
0 errors.

Console:

Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
