Can't move any elements in Android Studio for RelativeLayout

Question

I'm trying to add some buttons/textviews or any other components to my relativelayout. I can't place them anywhere but top left. However, if I edit XML code it works fine.

Here is the screenshot of current status

I already changed my layout to relativeLayout but still no luck. (Android Studio 3.3)

My layout xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="16dp"
    android:paddingRight="16dp"
    android:paddingTop="16dp"
    android:paddingBottom="16dp"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Button" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="TextView" />
</RelativeLayout>

I would expect to move these buttons/textviews relative to each other but they just stuck at top left.

Answer 1

there is a magnetic button on top of view editor its called (on/off auto connect ). if you change it you can move the views inside relative layout.

Answer 2

Just Enable AutoConnection to Parent In Design Mode click the magnet icon and choose "AutoConnection to Parent"
