How to refresh resources in Android studio without restarting?
I'm resizing and changing the background picture. However, layout preview will refresh the image every time I have to restart Android studio
Not working:
>Change API level > change preview direction > change theme > sync item
What else can I do?
Windows 10 64 bit on AMD a8-6410 with AMD radeon R5 graphics and 11 GB ram on Android studio 2.2.2

If you are using Android studio before 2.2: just click the refresh button on the layout editor menu bar
in addition to:
Go to the layout you are working on. Then, change any resources to incorrect names
For example, if you have a button with this attribute:
android:background="@drawable/button"
Replace it with any random error resource:
android:background="@drawable/thisIsSomethingVeryRandomAndDoesntExist"
Then you will get information similar to the following:
Click refresh (sometimes clear cache) and undo the changes you made to the attributes. Look!
Sometimes you can even change direction
