Android Studio Design Tools
summary
Android Studio 4.0 bundles concrete, usable features: a MotionLayout visual editor that creates keyframes arcs and gestures and maps one-to-one to motion scene XML, a split design + XML view that keeps selection and attributes in sync, a resource manager with drag‑and‑drop and font/style previews, layout validation that renders multiple devices, locales and colorblind simulations, a live Layout Inspector that traces attributes back to source on debug builds, and Compose previews with interactive preview and push‑to‑emulator support in canary builds.
