What should I do? \ ## Answers ### Answer by Hitesh Vohra - The structure of a user interface in your app, such as an activity, is defined by a layout. A hierarchy of View and View Group objects is used to create all of the layout's elements. A View depicts something that the user can see and interact with. - To do so, go to View > Tool Windows > Project, or just click Project on the [Android](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1672/android-internals) Studio screen's left side. Click the **Design tab** at the top right of the window if your editor displays the XML source. Select Blueprint under (Select Design Surface). - 'Invalidate caches & restart' might help. - Select this option to restart Android Studio. It might take a while. If that doesn't work, try rebuilding your project. \ **Read More[: Can I run different programs and apps on a Chromebook?](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/97269/can-i-run-different-programs-and-apps-on-a-chromebook)** --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94814/design-view-is-not-getting-displayed-in-my-android-studio-what-should-i-do Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
