I usually use Relative layout for most of my activity. I want to make Android studio create Relative layout by default when I create new activity, instead of Constraint Layout. Is there a way to do that?
Right click on layout folder -> New -> Edit File Templates...
A dialog opened, go to "Other" tab.
Change the content of
"LayoutResourceFile.xml" and "LayoutResourceFile_vertical.xml"
Change root tag to the type of layout you want. Hope this help :)
goto
'...\Android\Android Studio\plugins\android\lib\templates\activities\common\root\res\layout\simple.xml'
and change default layout

I am using a Translucent AppCompatActivity, and in the layout of that activity I am trying to use an ImageView. I am putting the src of the image by using the srcCompat tag. I do the see the image on the design view of the Xml file, but not able to see that being rendered on the phone screen.
Thanking in advanced.
First try using the Layout Inspector tool to verify that your ImageView has at least its width and height well defined. Go to Android Studio->Tools->Layout Inspector and analyze your layout.

You need to add vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true inside your Gradle file if it not there. Browse to this https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/vector-drawable-resources you can find more data here. If it is not resolved by adding this, you can use android:src attribute instead of srcCompact
The old Android Studio used to create the layout files using RelativeLayout, but the new one use ConstraintLayout, and this let me very pissed off >:[ , cause it have to import and sync... I really do not like.
I do not used to use both (RelativeLayout or ConstraintLayout), I prefer LinearLayout vertical, but I did not find how I can change the layout template in order to Android Studio create a layout using LinearLayout vertical, Anyone knows?
I looked for in Preferences -> File and Code Templates however I didn't find where I can change the xml layout template...
Thx
I'm not sure if you can do that, so just replace relative with linear in the xml & don't forget to add to add the orientation
Just delete the content in the layout file, and use the linear layout in that file
I'm pretty new at this. The problem accurs right after I've created a project with a blank activity. On the screen appears a "Hello World!" TextView but this TextView isn't displayed in the XML File and I can't select it in the Designtab but in order to delete it I either need to select it in the Designtab or delete the code in the XML File. How can I do this?

Thanks for your help!
If you open the content_main.xml layout file, you should see the "Hello World" TextView. You are currently using the include tag to load a seperate xml file
This is the standard auto-generated code by Android Studio. In the activity_main.xml you have the code for the Toolbar and the FloatingActionButton and it is included another xml file content_main.xml where you put all the elements you want.
How I can delete upper grey line ?

You should modify the main.xml file , You should change the framelayout property,
for example background
Im creating a custom layout and I want to use the text declared in the layout.xml file in my layout.
Like when I create a TextView in XML and set android:text=#string/text1 when I run the app text view automatically loads the text from android:text. So how can I access attributes declared in the layout XML file in my custom component.
I have learn how to do it from this:
WebImageView: Buy one, get two!
In simple steps:
Define the string of your XMLS.
Get the attributes in the code.
