402 PointsWhy don't I have a .xml file?
I am currently in the layout section of my project and when I click on the layout in the project panel it opens up: "activity_fun_facts.vml". For some reason it is not .xml but rather .vml.
There is also no text/design tabs and I can't seem to open up the "palette" that you have open in this video.
Any help would be great, thank you!

Ps. Sorry for the huge pic...I tried to google android studio and got this one from imgur

402 PointsI just right clicked on "activity_fun_facts.vml" and I went to refactor, and then went to the top where it says rename. I changed it to .xml there... but I still don't see the design/text tabs and I currently have no tabs at the bottom of android studio.
