Stop Android Studio from automatically showing design / preview when editing xml

Question

Android Studio is showing me design / preview windows when choosing to edit an xml layout which sometimes takes a long time to load on my PC. Is it possible to configure the environment so that it stops doing so? When I choose to edit an xml I expect it to just open the file and do nothing else.

Edit: I can close the window as you are suggesting. What I can't do is stop it from popping out automatically after I opened it previously and automatic switching to design tab.

Answer 1

I just found the answer in Android Studio right after looking at this... You can change it in settings/preferences:

Answer 2

You can minimize design windows as below.

This action will minimize design view until you click on Preview button again ,reinstalling your android studio
