I know there has to be an easy way to do this but haven't found it. I have an android layout open in text + preview window and have my <code>styles.xml</code> split below it. Every time I click in the <code>styles.xml</code> window the preview window disappears. Any way to keep it open while I'm editing the styles?

On Android Studio 3.0 is a bit different, but still easy: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7yxd3.png" alt="Android Studio 3.0">

This option is located under the gear icon: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Aojyx.png" alt="gear">
