Bookmark text (design process only) in Android layout?

Question

Is it possible to create placeholder text that only appears during the layout design process in Android Studio?

For example, let's say I have 2 TextViews in a linear layout that will be dynamically populated. During the design phase, I use placeholder text to provide the fill and such a fix. I often forget to delete the placeholder text, so while loading new data, the old data will appear within a second of a second ... looks sticky.

It would be great if there was a field similar to android:placeholderText="This is placeholder text" , which will only be displayed in the preview. There is no such thing that I missed?

Yes, this is (these days), and I believe that this is probably what you are looking for:
