In Android Studio, how can I view both the text and design preview of an XML layout side by side.
I could see it by default when I installed Studio, but now that is gone, and I'm not sure why. I can only see or the other.
How do I re-enable it?
Open your [whatever].xml
. At the bottom you'll see Design
and Text
. Select Text
. If you still can't see the actual layout, only xml, then select "Preview
" which is located at the right of the window, between Gradle
and Maven Projects
.
