Which Android Studio tool inspects view hierarchy and what does it show?
Tests practical knowledge of runtime UI debugging tools. A strong answer names Layout Inspector, cites live view hierarchy with bounds and attributes, and distinguishes it from the static Layout Editor. Red flag: citing Logcat or the preview pane instead.
Tests whether you understand the difference between design-time and runtime layout debugging and know when to reach for Layout Inspector. A strong answer names Layout Inspector in Android Studio, cites the live view hierarchy with exact bounds, margins, padding, and attributes, mentions 3D rotation for overlapping views, notes Compose support, and contrasts it with the static Layout Editor. Red flag: confusing it with the static Layout Editor, citing hierarchyviewer on modern APIs, or relying solely on XML previews.
