Question 264877 in Android Studio Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Code, split & design view tabs are missing from android studio

I am working through some android developer codelabs and it states the below view should be chosen.

Click Split on the top right of Android Studio, this allows you to view both code and design. You can also click Code to view code only or click Design to view design only.

After pressing Split you should see three areas:

However, this is my view.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am unable to carry on with the code lab as the live preview tab is needed.

    If you

    • Right click on a file
    • Select Open in Right Split
    • The code/split/design button should appear in the top right

    I have flagged it with the Android Studio tutorial team, as you say you can’t progress the tutorial without this workaround.

    If you select an "Empty Activity" project
    enter image description here

    a simple layout is created for you at
    res/layout/activity_main.xml

    when you select activity_main.xml, the Code/Split/Design will be shown.

    I guess you might have created a "No Activity" project instead. Guidance at Google Hello World project.
