No "Docked Mode" option in "Preview" settings in Android Studio once undocked

Question

Here is the Docked mode option for "Preview" window.

I removed the docked mode i.e. undocked it. And here is what I got.

There is no more "Docked Mode" option. Now I cannot properly work with designing layouts. Preview automatically hides when I change anything in the layout.

Answer 1

Here is the simple solution for reverting to "Docked Mode".

1. Select the Preview Window
2. Go to Window menu > Active Tool Window

There you go. The Preview window is in Docked Mode. And there is the option for Docked Mode again.

Answer 2

Option 1

First open any layout file to set the preview as active window. Then as the first answer says, goto Window in menu > Active Tool Window > Select Pinned Mode, Docked Mode and Split Mode

Option 2

Open a layout file. If the preview window doesn't appear, first make it visible by clicking View in menu > Tool Windows > Preview. Now preview window will appear. Then right click on the Toolbar in the preview window itself (the one with blue color) to show a list of options. Then there, select Pinned Mode, Docked Mode and Split Mode

Regards.
