Issue explanation

When I type in &gt; and &lt; in android:text of a widget in a XML file and preview it in AndroidIDE, even without editing it, it inserts the '>' and '<' characters respectively in the XML file.

Expected behavior

UI Designer should insert > and < instead of the original characters.
