When editing XML files in the editor for Eclipse, line numbers are not displayed.
Use case:
I create a layout with many views, one of these lacks android:layout_
If you're using Android Studio, you can show the line numbers by going to File > Settings > Editor > General > Appearance
, then check the "Show line numbers" box.
UPDATE: Android Studio v1.5+
1) Click inside the editor, Command + Shift + A, and type "show line numbers"
2) Select the second option in Preferences and it will take you to the screen that used to exist in General > Appearance
3) Check the "Show Line Numbers" box
