Shortcut to switch between design and text in Android Studio - android
Does anyone know some shortcut to switch between design and text in android studio while editing XML layout?
While I can switch from design view to source using Ctrl+B (and need to select something in layout before), I have no way to go back.
You can find it in Preferences->KeyMap:
"Select next Tab in multi-editor file":
The keymap depends on the platform:
On Mac: CRTL+SHIFT+RIGHT
On windows/Linux it is ALT + Shift + Left/Right.
You can change it on the KeyMap panel.
You can find the buttons to switch between design, text and preview in top right bar:
With Android Studio Arctic Fox 2020.3 you can find the buttons to switch between code|split|design:
ALT + Shift + Left/Right works for me. (Windows)
ALT + SHIFT + LEFT/RIGHT on windows and ubuntu.
CTRL + SHIFT + LEFT/RIGHT on MAC
Move between Design / Text tabs in layout’s view:
(Mac) : control + shift + ← / →
(Windows / Linux): alt + shift + ← / →
Good Question:
There are 2 ways:
If You are on a Activity ( Design or Text)
1) left click on Text or Design
2) ALT + SHIFT + Right/Left arrow key
If You are on a class
1) click on the name of the activity:
example: click on activity_actividad2_blank
setContentView(R.layout.activity_actividad2_blank);
2) click on Project
goto to java class
left click on class and click on "Find Usages" ( Or ALT + F7)
double click on result you want to go.
Have a good programming.
In Windows it's ALT + SHIFT + Left / Right for Android Studio 3.4
(CTRL + SHIFT) + LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys,
To go back and forth in between Design tab and Text(XML) tab, on Mac OS X.
Although the question is related to switching between design and xml views, many people may be looking for or interested in how to switch between related XML and Java files. This can be achieved in Android Studio, using the Related Symbol... navigation key mapping.
Depending on your settings and operating system the keyboard shortcut will vary, but you can find out what yours is by looking in Settings -> Keymap -> Main menu / Navigate / Related Symbol...
Otherwise try the following keys:
Ctrl + Alt + F7
Ctrl + Alt + Home
Meta + Ctrl + Up
ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW worked for me on ubuntu
alt + shift + left/right arrow keys worked for me in Windows 10 in Android Studio 3.5.
The settings for it is under Settings->Keymap->Other->Select Next Tab in multi-editor file, for Android 3.0.1.
I wanted to switch to the selected View in question. None of the answers did that. So, here we go:
CTRL + B
Period.
On Android Studio 2.3+, one can use the shortcut Ctrl+T.
Buttons are available to switch between design and text window in XML file in android studio 3.6.1.
Shortcut keys are: ALT + Shift + Left/Right works for me. (Windows)

I'm in exactly in the same situation. I don't have a concrete solution for your problem. If you hit CTRL ALT - will collapse all functions If you hit CTRL ALT + will expand all functions This is a good shortcut that may do the work for you.

Since some version of Android emulator (recently, like 27.0.0 or so) it is possible to restart the emulator with Ctrl key (Ctrl for Mac) + left arrow or right arrow. So: Ctrl + (Left Arrow OR Right Arrow). You can also modify the shortcuts in here:
shortcut of switching between two variants of same layout in android studio
Does anyone know some shortcut to switch between one layout variant to another variant of same layout android studio while editing xml layout? for e.g. login.xml(layout) to login.xml(layout-land).
There is no such direct shortcut specified in Android Studio manual. An easy way would be to use Control + Shift + N (Windows) or Command + Shift + O (Mac) Simply start typing the name of the layout and you can open the variant you want to. Not really useful for a project with a few files; but this saves a lot of time when working with a huge project with 50-75 XML files each with multiple layout variants.
Use Control + Shift + tab (Windows)

You should refer to the Jetbrain Cheat sheet try Alt + Insert for additional key-map this is the link : JetBrain Cheat Sheet
Shortcut key to switch between XML layout and the java class in eclipse (android )
I'm not putting much hope in getting this problem solved, but this is really a pain and I really hope that this can be sorted out... It is that, is there a shortcut key in Android Eclipse to switch between an xml layout file and its "related" java class (e.g. activity) source file? Much like Visual Studio's Windows Forms Designer (F7 to switch between design view and source code view). I know that there is not a declarative definition on the relationship of an XML layout and an Activity/Fragment, it is determined during runtime... but still, it is an incredible pain when you are in the source code view and want to refer to a view by id but you (always) cannot remember the name, you need to scan through millions of files in millions of levels of tree depths in the Package Explorer view. I feel like giving up even now... no one can help...
No, because there isn't a 1:1 relationship between activities and layouts. One activity can have multiple layouts, and 1 layout can appear in multiple activities. I suggest you either adopt a naming standard so you don't have these problems, or just manually open the xml file and keep it open.
In android studio it's ctrl+tab
In Android Studio, you can make use of the Related Symbol... navigation key mapping to toggle between related XML and Java classes. Depending on your settings and operating system the keyboard shortcut will vary, but you can find out what yours is by looking in Settings -> Keymap -> Main menu / Navigate / Related Symbol... Otherwise try the following keys: Ctrl + Alt + F7 Ctrl + Alt + Home Meta + Ctrl + Up
If you have selected a view in Design View and want to move onto Text View, CTRL + B
You can also use bookmarks, not exactly what you asked for but can be helpful when jumping around. F11 - Toggle soft bookmark Shift + F11 - Open bookmark menu Ctrl + F11, [mnemonic key] - Create a bookmark with a mnemonic key entry - press any number or letter afterwards Ctrl + [mnemonic key] - jump to the bookmark created with Ctrl + F11. Like I said, won't help if you are in the layout and want to jump to the "code behind" but it's a quick way to move between the two while working if you have left bookmarks.
