8,800 PointsOn the left hand side you should see a list of files. activity_main.xml (assuming you are using default names) is located inside of the "res" directory, inside of the "layout" directory. There should be a triangle next to the "res" folder. Click on it to expand the directory, then do the same for "layout". When you find activity_main.xml, double click and that will bring up the graphical interface.

Courses Plus Student 5,830 PointsThanks for responding but clicking that little arrow at the side would be the least i could try, I've already figured it out, i had to click Project, then new file and manually type in the name of the file activity_main.xml; for those who might have the same problem this is a directory path issue and will cause some of your download to not work. Therefore avoid using multiple sub-folders
