How can I switch to the graphic editor in Android Studio?

Question

I'm unable to switch to the graphic editor in Android Studio. I have only then XML editor (no preview or palette pane). How can I find this editor?

Activities aren't attached to graphic editors. If you're talking about the design view you have to click the "Design" tab that is to the left of the Text tab, at the bottom of the editor window. Take a look to the attached screenshot.

This is a closer look to that tab

Anyway if you are in the "text" view you can view a preview of the layout, by clicking the "preview" panel that it's placed at the top right of the screen, take a look to the next screenshot.

Finally this is a general view with those panels expanded, hope it helps:
