Can not launch android project from xml layout file in Eclipse

Question

I've just updated Eclipse IDE for android to the newest version. In this version, when I press ctrl + f11 in layout file (or any xml file,however in activity file, it works as expected), nothing happens!! It's not what I want! In the previous version of Eclipse (before updating), If I press ctrl + f11 in xml file, my project will be launched! Does anyone has the same problem? Does anyone has suggestion to force my project launching from xml file when I press ctrl + f11?

Just one more thing, in xml layout file, I can use the Graphical Layout, but the outline of my xml file is missing from code layout (the beside part of Graphical Layout). Can anyone explain the reason? And how to solve it? Thanks in advance.

If you run your project and if you opening your xml file, you can't run that project, instead what you can do is just click on any java activity and than press Ctrl + F11, that works.
