Android Studio, Is there a refresh button. Every time I make changes in xml I need to close and reopen studio to see changes on the design

Every time I try to hardcode designs in the xml; the changes are not present in the design; like I need to close and reopen Android Studio for me to see changes that I have made. Same with adding images to the drawable resource folder; I need to close and reopen Android Studio, so that Android Studio can even recognize that there is a file in the drawable folder.

It is like Android Studio is not up date to changes made and thus needs to be closed and opened again. Is there a refresh button or something for this; or what could possibly fix this?

You can try Rebuild the Project (In build menu)

OR

There is a Refresh option in design view. Click on Force Refresh Layout (This may vary as per Android Studio versions)

Just click Preview Button twice it will refresh the current layout. However, Android Studio automatically update all drawable files and the current xml design in preview.

Try rebuild/clean your project also Invalidate/Caches restart once.
