Make XML Split view default in Android Studio 3.6+?

Question

In Android Studio 3.6 and above, an XML file always opens in the "Code" view by default. How do I make it open in "Split" view by default?

Answer 1

In Android Studio 3.6 if you open Preference->Editor->Layout editor you can see for this case only check/uncheck "Prefer XML editor" for show modes "Code" or "Design" view without "Split", very strange... Waiting for possibility check mode "Split"

UPDATED

Now Android Studio 4.0 has "Split" option. Nice!
