Is their a "region-like" folding feature for Android Studio

Question

I'm developing on Android Studio and as others IDE, Android Studio has a feature to create "regions" in the java code that can be folded. (see below)

With this kind of code

//region INITIALIZATION
private int myVaribale;
private String otherVariblae;
//endregion

We can fold/unfold the code (see screenshots below).

Is their something similar for XML editors (specially the one in Android Studio) ?

Something where we can add for example :

<!-- region MY LAYOUTS -->
<RelativeLayout>

   //Some layouts

</RelativeLayout>
<!-- endregion -->

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/18.0/ug-authorEclipse/topics/folding-of-the-xml-elements.html shows it for editing XML in text mode in oXygen. — Martin Honnen, Aug 29 '16 at 13:04

You can now do this:

<!--region Title-->
<View
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<!--endregion-->

(I'm using Android Studio 3.0 and not sure when it was supported)

You can use CTRL+ALT+T shortcut to generate Region/Editor folds.

Or your custom shortcut defined for: Settings > Keymap > Main Menu > Code > Surround With...

It works in Kotlin/Java/XML,etc. so you can create folds to Styles/layouts too.

Android Studio's XML editor supports only folding on IDE level with Cmd+Alt+"+" or "-".
