I want to be able to use
tools:text="Text"
in a style.xml file, this way don't duplicate tools:text in all my layout that are using the style.
I've already tried:
<item name="text">@string/text</item>
but when is present the editor doesn't show the text.
Thanks for your help!

A style is defined in an XML resource that is separate from the XML that specifies the layout. This XML file resides under res/values/ directory of your project and will have <resources> as the root node which is mandatory for the style file. The name of the XML file is arbitrary, but it must use the . xml extension.
An <attr> element has two xml attributes name and format . name lets you call it something and this is how you end up referring to it in code, e.g., R. attr. my_attribute . The format attribute can have different values depending on the 'type' of attribute you want.
Layout editor AbsoluteXtools:layout_editor_absoluteX="60dp" The above takes the screen and give it a margin left(horizontal) of 60dp from the start of screen. Thats means even if it isn't constrained, it won't jump to top-left of screen at runtime.
Note: A style is a simple resource that is referenced using the value provided in the name attribute (not the name of the XML file). As such, you can combine style resources with other simple resources in the one XML file, under one <resources> element. The filename is arbitrary.
According to the documentation: https://developer.android.com/studio/write/tool-attributes.html#design-time_view_attributes
tools:instead ofandroid:Intended for:
<View>Used by: Android Studio layout editor
Unfortunately, this means you can't use tools:text inside a <style> element.
