No Text/Design Tab on the Bottom Part of the Android Studio

Creating a new XML in the Res/Layout Folder, the design/text tab is now present.

In Android Studio 3.6 use these three buttons (Code | Split | Design), on top right, to switch between views.

Split button at top right


I had the same problem, restarting the IDE did make that tab appear again.


On Android Studio 3.6.1 Top Right corner under the main toolbar you have three different icons (Code, Split, Design).


View -> Tool windows -> Preview .
