How can I do that?
Fastest way for Android Studio 3.x.x
1.Go to the design tab of the activity layout
2.At the top you should press on the orientation for preview button, there is a option to create a landscape layout (check image), a new folder will be created as your xml layout file for that particular orientation
Create a layout-land folder in res folder and create xml with the same name in this folder.
You could create a seperate Layout for Landscape mode.Just name it the name as your current layout but make sure to add it in the folder layout-land.
Right click on res - layout and then Add New and for the folder write layout-land. Name should be - as said before - the same as your current layout.
When now changing the orientation to landscape, Android will use this layout.
Just create layout-land folder near layout folder and create xml with the same name.
No need to create layout-land. Google has an open sourced FlexBox Layout that works adaptive on screen size /orientation changes like CSS.
Have a look at google's developer site for examples.
Where can I find the button to Create Landscape Variation?
In the version of Android Studio that I'm using there is a button to rotate the screen but not to add a variation. I'm using Android Studio 2.2 Preview 7
ANSWERED:
The button that I was looking for was hidden by the 'Properties' view.
well, some answer might not be the answer for latest android version (chipmunk).
here i found it:
android chipmunk:
In Android Studio 3.0 and higher the option to create a layout variant has been brought under the "Orientation in Editor" button. There is no longer a separate button for "Layout Variants". See image link below. I've already created a landscape variant hence only the option for an xlarge variation shows up
Create Layout Variation
Android Studio Chipmunk has changed the location of the menu option to create a landscape variation. While in Design mode, click the activity XML toolbar button and select Create Landscape Qualifier from the menu.
Typically I do this by right clicking on the res directory and then clicking new -> Android resource directory. Choose "Orientation" and name the Directory "Landscape". Then make sure to set the resource type to Layout.
Android Studio: Creating landscape layouts
In android 2.0, there is also a button available above the design preview.
My Android Studio version is Android Studio 2.3.3
built on June 6, 2017,
And here is the Create Landscape Variation Button in the Design Section.
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+
I am new in android and want to know how to add landscape mode in android can anyone tell me about the easiest way to do that. I'm looking for a way that is very simple.
If you have this kind of question check the answer below.

I have a simplest way to add a landscape mode (add landscape folder, landscape xml file and code) in android studio. You just have to click one or two times to do that.
when you are in xml file opened look at the right there is a preview panel that show your device click the button and click on switch to layout-land. It Automatically adds layout_land.xml file into your file structure AND also opens it in code & preview.
Check the image below...
I have been trying to develop an application in a landscape mode so I placed "android: screenOrientation="landscape" in my Manifest. It worked well, however, the graphical layout of my xml files are still not in landscape mode so I cannot design my UI well. Any help? Thanks
Follow below screenshot
you should design separate UI for landscape mode and put in layout-land folder. check this link
go to res folder in your project, and create a new folder in it name it as layout-land
