Understanding the Layout of android studio
Great! You’re now in the Android Studio code editor, and it’s divided into three sections:
Understanding the Layout:
π’ Left Panel (Project Structure)
- Shows your project files like
MainActivity.kt
,res/layout
, etc. - You’ll find your XML files for UI design and Kotlin files for logic.
π’ Middle Panel (Code Editor)
- Displays the currently open file (like
MainActivity.kt
oractivity_main.xml
). - You’ll write or modify your app’s code here.
π’ Right Panel (Preview/Assistant - Optional)
- If you’re in activity_main.xml, this may show a visual preview of your UI.
- If you’re in Kotlin code, it may show tips or suggestions.
Next Steps: What Do You Want to Do?
1️⃣ Modify UI (Design your app’s look).
2️⃣ Write Code (Add functionality like buttons).
3️⃣ Run the App (Test on an emulator or phone).

Thank you for this well-explained post on the layout system in Android Studio. Your breakdown of ConstraintLayout, LinearLayout, and RelativeLayout makes it much clearer how to build responsive and adaptive UI designs.
