I just installed Android Studio 2.3.3 and I followed the steps given on Tutorials Point website for this installation. The install process was successful. I then created a new project as shown in the screen below.
In the install instructions, it was shown that I will see the mockup as shown in screenshot below. However, it does not show the mobile mockup in design view. What am I missing? Or how do I get the mockup in design view?

AFAIK, viewing the XML design preview of your app with a mobile device frame around it is deprecated for the latest stable versions of Android Studio.
