I used the Settings Activity template to create a new activity in android studio. After creating it, I cannot find the layout file of the activity anywhere. Where can I find the layout file? If there is no layout file for Settings Activity template, how can I change its contents?
Android studio also created a new folder called xml, does this have anything to with the settings activity?

Layout files are stored in "res-> layout" in the Android application. When we open the resource of the application we find the layout files of the Android application. We can create layouts in the XML file or in the Java file programmatically. First, we will create a new Android Studio project named "Layouts Example".
So the android studio uses the default name mainactivity. java and activity_main. xml for activity and layout respectively.
A layout defines the structure for a user interface in your app, such as in an activity. All elements in the layout are built using a hierarchy of View and ViewGroup objects. A View usually draws something the user can see and interact with.
Settings Activities typically use preferences defined in an XML file. These aren't exactly layouts, so they are usually placed in the xml resource subdirectory. Read more about preference-based settings screens on this page.
