Refreshing the Android Xml UI While Debugging

Question

When debugging on my Surface Duo, I am able to refresh changes to Xml files (such as layouts & styles) by clicking the following button:

I was never able to do this using the emulator, but I figured that was just a limitation of the emulator. However, I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S10e, and I am not able to use this feature when debugging on it either. Is there some setting I need to change (either in the phone's Developer Options or somewhere in Visual Studio 2022) to enable this feature? I think it is an extremely useful feature, so I would really like to figure out how to use it for all of my debug devices. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi @Nathan Sokalski ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Currently, the feature is not supported on Samsung Galaxy S10e.
For any suggestions about the feature, please report it to product team in the Developer Community or surface-duo-sdk.

Thank you for helping us build a better Visual Studio!

Sincerely,
Anna
