Exlude layout in xml preview


I've got a RecyclerView in my layout, nothing strange.
The problem rises when I'm working on the layout and the recycler view's preview occupies all the screen.
Is it possible to exclude a layout (in this case the Recycler's one) from the preview ?

Thx anticipately !

You can set tools:visibility="gone". To use it, you have to add the following URI namespace to your root layout 

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

Tools only apply in XML preview.

From the doc

Android has a dedicated XML namespace intended for tools to be able to record information in XML files, and have that information stripped when the application is packaged such that there is no runtime or download size penalty
