I didn't understand how, but the main toolbar of the preview pane in the layout editor of Android Studio has changed :
It used to look like this :
But now it changed into this :
I tried to reset configuration, and even reinstall completely Android Studio but it didn't work.
Do you have any idea about how I could revert change ? Thank you in advance
I am using Android Studio 2.2 with Ubuntu 16.04 amd64.
well in this case you could always hide the Palette and Properties tab ,unfortunately i don't think there is any way to customize this tool bar.
Although you could use Android Studio version 2.1 .

I'm working on a small android-project, and I want to show the action bar in the XML-preview. Like this:
I've already done some research and found this question: Default toolbar and status bar not showing into xml preview in android studio 3.3. This question provides that you have to use the eye-icon and mark "Show Layout Decorations".
The problem is that I don't have any eye-icon.
I'm using AndroidStudio 3.1.2.
Try updating your Android Studio and If still you face the error then try re-installing hope it will solve your error.

How can i see the preview in eclipse adt while coding in xml?
It is not Possible. The functionality is not included in Eclipse. It is there in Android Studio i.e. you can see layout changes with corresponding code change side by side the functionality comes with the name tab preview.
I recommend you switch to Android Studio for that.

I've done some searching but I couldn't find any concrete information about my issue. I have a standard Empty project in Android Studio to which I have added a logout icon in the Action bar. For some reason the icon is only visible when I run the project on a virtual device or on my phone but it's not visible inside the preview screen in Android Studios. Is it a known bug or am I just missing something?
In the design view of a XML File you should try to use a older Render version:
For me, the previewer shows the icon if I add android:showAsAction="ifRoom" within the item's declaration.
Is there any way that I can quickly see how my view is going to look in different scales? On Xcode there is a preview feature in storyboard mode, just checking if there is anything like that but in Android Studio or even third party...
Thanks in advance, any help/suggestion/pro-tip ;) is appreciated
There is menu called "Layout validation" where you can preview all the screen on Android studio 4.0.
I assume you know to go to the xml file and open the design tab of the layout . and now you can see only single preview of the layout in device.
Then look to your top bar on the design window which contains app theme , the android version and device name. (below is a screen shot).
Now all you have to do is open the drop down which contains device names (in my screen shot Nexus 4) and go to bottom . you will see preview all screens . this will show all the screen preview.
Hope this solves your problem.
"Layout validation" tool window rely on context to be visible
Android Studio Chipmunk | 2021.2.1
in text editor mode layout validation is not visible at the very right of the ide
But if you are in design mode and working on a layout (not a path nor icon ) . Layout validation will appear in between gradle and device manager tools
Now you can work with layout validation tool window .
Multi Preview, which is like this, is a feature of Android Studio 3.6+
How to change back the layout of the IDE (Android studio) to normal position? As you can see the make project button, run program button and etc are on the far right. This happend after I updated the IDE to 0.5.5. Please help me. Thank you. Shift-F12 don't work.
The Picture below should be the normal one i think.
You've hidden the toolbar. Use View menu > Toolbar to restore it.
