When adding TextViews and ImageViews to my layouts that will be populated dynamically at runtime, I often add placeholder text and images so I can preview a realistic layout. Can the layout editor do this for me without requiring me to explicitly include these strings and images in my application automatically?
It doesn't look like this feature exists, so I created a feature request.

Please enable the layout editor do this for me without requiring me to explicitly include these strings and images in my application automatically. I assume you'd want to have a default image size in the preferences and allow individual ImageViews/texts to override the defaults with something like tools:defaultImageWidth=123px, tools:defaultText="Lorem Ipsum", etc.
tools:numDefaultLoremIpsumTextChars=80 would generate 80 characters of default text.
