If you open any layout file, the switch will be displayed as tabs at the bottom:

Design/Text switch

Note that you need to have Android Designer plug-in enabled:

designer

It's also important to open the files from the src/main/res/layout directory, not from the build directory.

If you open a file under build, latest Android Studio will display a warning on the top of the file:

warning

Files under the build folder are generated and should not be edited.
