Android Studio was working ok, but my all attributes panel is wrong, I see a few attributes in XML (in the attributes panel) and many of them are missing.
How can I reset the original view of my all attributes panel?

I am new in android. I decided to use ConstraintLayout. But i cannot find out how to turn on a view's properties. There isn't any tab in the editor.
I use Android studio 3.0.1.
There isn't any tab in the editor.
there is design tab left to text in xml file
Move to Design tab below and in that drag any textview/widget to the layout
Now, just click on that textview/widget, it will show you all properties than you can change from there no need to change in xml file manually it will reflect there too.
It's available in SplitMode
I am using Android Studio-4. I did not find it the attribute option on Design Mode.
Click on Split and then attribute tab will appear
Final Step
I have started Android development and I need to access the 'resource' window. I have searched around and have not found an answer. What I am doing is I am trying to change the background color of my app using the 'color.xml' file I have created. The problem is, I cannot find the 'background_color' resource in the 'RelativeLayout' panel in the 'Design' view in Android Studio. Does anyone know where or how to open this window?!
Sorry for my noobish-ness,
Ben
To pull up the "resources" window, you have to:
Open the activity in "Design" mode.
Select the "RelativeLayout"
Go to "Properties" pane and find whatever property you need.
Once selected, click the "..." button.
A window appears with a list of all properties.
If you want to set a background color of a relativeLayout, you can use the background resource. This can be any of the predefined colors, or a special layout file you made that specifies the shape of the layout, curved edges, etc.
I'm new to Android development and I just installed Android Studio version 1.2.1.1. I created a project, HelloWorld, and chose the default blank activity, Darcula theme, and default API. Straight out of the box, without having written any code or touched anything, I get this message:
"Rendering Problems
Missing styles. Is the correct theme chosen for this layout? Use the Theme combo box above the layout to choose a different layout, or fix the theme style references. Failed to find style 'textViewStyle' in current theme (4 similar errors not shown)."
I uninstalled and reinstalled Android Studio but I still get this error so I'm not sure what else I should do. It says "use the theme combo box... or fix the theme style references" and I'm new to Android Studio so I have no idea where the box is or how to change the reference.
Simply click on the Refresh icon at the review pane:
Android gives you the option to define your own style format, which the default project you made did. It created a style named 'textViewStyle'.
If you look at the text view instead of the design view (you can switch by pressing the tab at the lower left in the part where you get the error that it can't render) you will see that the textView or the app itself contains a line android:theme="#style/textViewStyle".
You can either remove this line, or track down the error in the styles.xml file in the res/values folder. This is the file that defines the style for the app.
If this doesn't help you it could be that the style is defined in your AndroidManifest.xml file, look at the tag, it will contain a line saying android:theme="#android:style/textViewStyle", change that to android:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault" and you should be good to go.

Make sure to select the correct theme from the menu in the preview panel.
If you set the layout file to be FullScreen in the manifest but select something like NoActionBar theme in the preview panel, you will also get this error.
Go to manifest file, check the theme you are using there and pick the same in the Design view of your xml file.
Rebooting Android Studio did the trick for me. I couldn't find the "Refresh" button in the accepted answer for some reason.
Click on "Design" tab
On the right pannel, search for the objet "text" that contains something like "#string/hello_world"
Remove this value from the field
There's no more error.
The option bar at the bottom doesn't exist.
I can only use the graphical layout view mode,unless I select the xml file to open with other xml editor.
So,how can I fix that?
Thanks！
update:
In fact, I can use the hot key "shift+alt+f7" to switch the view mode between graphical layout and xml editor, while there is no option bar at the bottom.
update2:
Finally,I find the cause of the problem.
This problem turned out to be a side effect of the Dark Juno theme.

How do I force eclipse to show xml layouts and styles as text?

How do I change the layout in android studio without coding? I know that in eclipse ADT I just had to right click on the layout I wanted to change in the Outline and choose the option "change layout". How do I do this in Android Studio. I can not find the answer anywhere.
When viewing your main activity.xml file, under the component tree right click the layout, and under the "Morphing" menu you will be able to change to a different layout. Note: my Android Studio crashes when I do this!
"Morphing" menu you will be able to change to a different layout
It can only change it to relative / radio / table / grid
No direct Option for linear , Android Studio 1 (latest) not crashing.
