I'm building an app using Android Studio and Java. When I'm trying to make the layout in the Layout Editor is there any way to hide components so I can see better? I don't mean using Java when starting the app, I mean in the editor.

CodePudding user response：

you can set

tools:visibility="gone|invisible|visible"

in xml file

tools namespace that enable design-time features so When you build your app, the build tools remove these attributes so there is no effect on your APK size or runtime behavior.

CodePudding user response：

Sure, in XML tools:visibility="gone" on the component.

or in the design view to the right of the component name in the component tree you can click and select tools:visibility there.

CodePudding user response：

Do you ask about the visibility

android:visibility="visible|invisibile|gone"

CodePudding user response：

You can use an XML attribute

android:visibility="gone"

or

android:visibility="invisible"

There is no other way to hide components in editor
