How can i see the preview in eclipse adt while coding in xml?

It is not Possible. The functionality is not included in Eclipse. It is there in Android Studio i.e. you can see layout changes with corresponding code change side by side the functionality comes with the name tab preview.

I recommend you switch to Android Studio for that.
