Use the old Layout Inspector in Android Studio


It seems like Android Studio doesn't allow more to use the legacy Layout Inspector (without live updates), but that one was extremely useful.

I get it, the new one has live updates, but the connection time to the process is slow, sometimes it even restarts the activity if you don't have the non restart activity flag enabled. And personally I rarely need the live updates, I only need to inspect whatever screen I'm seeing at the moment.

Does anybody know if is possible to use the legacy layout inspector without going to a prior version of Android Studio to current stable (Arctic Fox)?
