In the Android Studio preview panel, I remember having a bar at the top when previewing drawable, where you could preview different states. I managed to find a screenshot of it somewhere:
I think I pressed a hotkey or toggled a setting, it disappeared and now I cannot find the setting to get it back.

I am profiling a new application I am working with. I can see the captured pink circle, I want to find out where the view is ,In which fragment and where the click listener is defined.
Here I can only see the activity information.
It's a big project.
If you are using the latest version of Android Studio, when hovering over the green bar near the top, there should be a tooltip showing the Activity and Fragment.
Regarding how to find out the View, have you tried Android Studio's Layout Inspector? I don't know a single-click way to locate the listener but it may be feasible once you locate the view.
As you can see in the image below, every time I open a project in Android Studio, the layout decorations option is deselected. How can I have it selected for default?
look on the top left of constraintLayout that you currently open, click on the eye icon and then click Show Layout Decorations. then you will be able to see it. but i don't know how to access it.
I think is not possible. I never see about that the solution
I've looked at the suggested answers and none of them get the layout preview to render properly. I have tried changing the theme and lowering the API.
With "AppTheme" selected as the theme, the layout preview does not render elements properly and does not match the emulator. The error messages, .xml, emulator and layout preview are shown in the screenshot.
Please let me know what information is needed. I am new-ish to android studio.
// Edit
The solution given by Jadhu worked with my previous IDE version. However, I also wanted to see the Action Bar in the preview. I tried to use the solution listed in the Jadhu's link but it still did not show the Action Bar.
After updating the IDE, I no longer need to make any changes but the Action Bar still will not appear.
// Edit 2
Make the Action Bar appear by clicking the "Eye Symbol" drop-down on the upper-left corner of the preview and selecting Show Layout Decorations.
Go to your res/values/styles.xml and change the:
"style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar""
to
"style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar""
if it doesnt work, you may find the answer Here, please feel free to take a look.
Im learning Android studio now and encounter this problem with Layout Preview. I cant see phone frame.Ok, it's not big deal, but in result I see that the toolbar was not counted in design. For better understanding look at picture Virtual Device and Layout preview comparison. For layout preview and virtual device I picked Nexus 6. Screen sizes should be exactly the same. In the picture you can see the button in the layout preview. But in the virtual device the button is almost completely out of the screen bounds.

WORKS!!!
Click that 'eye' icon and select the 'Show layout decorations'. Done.
Try this,
Click on Preview-> Visibility Symbol which named as view options
There is one option, Show Layout Decorations , Select this options.

You can try to select device and theme for your preview window see attached image

In the new version, you can see this feature in the 'layout validation' vertical bar on the right.
I accidentally clicked a key from my laptop that I do not remember and my Android Studio menu window changed.
I want to have it to be the default window view which is
I searched for a way to undo it or reverse it but could not find anything.
