Menu
I have probably hit some setting in Android Studio. So my problem is, my Preview window hides every time I click somewhere in the xml code.
Obviously I want the preview available the entire time I'm in the xml editor so that I can view my changes, and also without having to click the Preview button all the time.
Any ideas?

Subsequent edits don't reset composition. Live Edit is available in the Electric Eel Canary channel as an experimental feature. To turn it on manually, navigate to File > Settings > Editor > Live Edit (Android Studio > Preferences > Editor > Live Edit on a Mac).
Go to Run -> Edit Configurations. "Under Deployment Target Options", de-select "Use same device for future launches." To prevent the same device from being used on subsequent previews, when you create a new project and run it in the AVD, do not select "use the same device."
Open an existing layout in Android Studio, and click the Design button in the top-right corner of the editor window. In the Component Tree, right-click the layout, and then click Convert your-layout-type to ConstraintLayout.
Found the answer. The tabs in Android Studio seem to have different amount of actions attached to them, but you can access some more if you go to Window -> Active Tool Window (with the preview tab selected/focused) and then click "Docked Mode", an option previously unavailable in the tabs options. When Docked mode is activated for the tab it is now available in the tab options!
