Is there a way to show a preview of a RecyclerView's contents in the Android Studio editor?

Question

When I add the RecyclerView to the layout, it shows up as a blank screen. Is there a way, such as through the tools namespace, to show a preview of the content

Answer 1

As of Android Studio 1.3.1 it shows default list items in the preview but it doesn't let yout specify your own yet. Hopefully, it will come.
