When I tried to increase the height, the hint for edit text aligns to the center of the height. How can I make an edit text as below?
Add minHeight to increase the height of the editText and set gravity="start"
If you are referring to Android Studio, this is because of idea Vim for my case. And you can switch from this mode (uneditable) by clicking "i" on your keyboard.

When I press a button widget there was always a greed like this image:
I can't find it anymore.
I think you didn't align your button component in your layout. You have to align your button position top, bottom, start, end. & then try to click and see.
The issue was in the *.xml, i missed androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout instead I wrote ReleativeConstraint.
Thanks
I'm learning Android Studio, so I clicked a few buttons to add vertical and horizontal guidelines, but how to roll back ? In the following image you can see how they look, but I can't figure out how to not show the guidelines ?
I figured it out, select it, make sure it turns blue, then hit "Delete" key to get rid of it.
Select the guidelines or just go into the COMPONENT TREE window below the Palettes and delete the guidelines you want.
I have a 15.6" 4K laptop display. I can easily scale up Android Studio and its fonts -- except for tooltip fonts (i.e. starting tips, and when I hover over a word for Javadocs). Is there a setting to do this?
In case you didn't figure it out already: When the tool-tip appears, there is a configuration button in the upper right corner of the window. Click it, and you get a slider to set your desired font size.
Late answer but it's might will help. If you choose this selection, you can change font size like Chrome.
The background around the Layout Editor in Android Studio is dark grey. I think it used to be white. Anyway, I would like to make it white again, but I can't find the setting. The reason I want to change it is so that I can make nicer looking print screen images to use on StackOverflow or app descriptions.
Note: I'm not talking about changing the theme or the code editor colors. These questions have already been answered here:

Android Studio 3.0 has a Screenshot menu item. Right click the design area and choose Save Screenshot.
From there you can make a screenshot with a transparent background.
I recently made the switch to Android Studio as my default IDE for Android development. When designing my UI I normally use the palette in the design view to assist in arranging the widget on the preview screen.Recently something weird happened, It just disappeared and I can't seem to re-enable it. Normally I would see the little Palette button on the side but now its gone. When I open another project I see the palette but not show this current project I'm working on.
When I open another project in Android Studio I see the palette tab.
I've just figured this out! If you double click on your .xml file tab at the top it will maximize the designer window. Then on the left you can drag the window to shrink and it will reveal the palette. Then just click on the tab on the left to open the project window.
try the Design/Text tabs in the lower left of the layout window
The palette can be shrunk to 0 width. This can be expanded by hovering next to the left edge of the design window, and finding the right-most expand position.
If you have only the designer and the properties showing and the Properties is on the right, you can get the palette back by switching to a left or right view.
Right click on the .xml file tab. Select "split vertically". This will open another Design that shows the palette again.
Android Studio 2.3.3, and the answer I was looking for:
Window -> Restore Default Layout (Shift+F12)
First Close All The Tabs Then Open res->layout->activity_main.xml
you will able to see design tab at activity_main.xml
Try to switch between Design/Text tabs at the bottom left of the editor.
You must have something in the layout resource highlighted. I also had to compile without an error.
My solution was traversing
src->main->res-layout->content_main.xml
then open content_main.xml
You have to be in the 'Design' tab (as opposed to the 'Text' tab) at the bottom of the middle window (the one that shows the phone).
