How do I change the layout in android studio without coding? I know that in eclipse ADT I just had to right click on the layout I wanted to change in the Outline and choose the option "change layout". How do I do this in Android Studio. I can not find the answer anywhere.

by simply replacing RelativeLayout with LinearLayout in your favourite text editor (move the file to the Desktop and edit it over there), you get what you want, but instead of that, I recommend you to make your own template, where you can define literally anything. The path in this answer does not exist in AS 4.2.
There are only two steps to implement the method. Step 1: Open the base UI layout in DESIGN mode so that you see the actual GUI, such as Buttons, icons, etc. Step 2: Click the icon marked in the below screenshot and, from the menu, select Create Landscape Variation.
To create a linear layout in which each child uses the same amount of space on the screen, set the android:layout_height of each view to "0dp" (for a vertical layout) or the android:layout_width of each view to "0dp" (for a horizontal layout). Then set the android:layout_weight of each view to "1" .
When viewing your main activity.xml file, under the component tree right click the layout, and under the "Morphing" menu you will be able to change to a different layout. Note: my Android Studio crashes when I do this!

"Morphing" menu you will be able to change to a different layout
It can only change it to relative / radio / table / grid
No direct Option for linear , Android Studio 1 (latest) not crashing.
