Hi I have switched to a new PC and downloaded Android Studio. The design preview of Xml files were fine at first but after I added a device it started to grey out in a couple of seconds and this only happens to my main xml file.
Here is the main xml preview
How I want it to look like
I tried changing API levels and the device didn't do much for me. I also tried changing theme to Light Mode
try to unistall and reinstall android studio.
it seems an IDE bug.

i did an update of android studio or android studio plugins and the ide stopped showing xml view designer and the component tree thinks that there's nothing to show.
i tried to sync and rebuild and clean the project and to restart the ide and it still dose not solve the problem.
this is not the first time it happens to a project and i can't work more on the xml view of that project
what can i do to solve the problem ?
thanks
Greetings.
I am learning java and android development for last two days. I am using android studio version 3.1.3
the welcome screen interface and open project screen that i used yesterday was different.
Today i am seeing a new screen and new way of opening android project.
below are the screen shots.
when i click on create new project the below screen appears
please guide me through this.
Delete the Android Studio folder in the user's folder. Let Android Studio download everything back and the view will become normal.
Going to events on the home screen and clicking 'enable android support' that this fixed my issue, however I did need to re-install all the SDK versions I previously used.
Recenty I installed Android Studio on my laptop running Ubuntu 16.04.
When I created a new project and used Android Studio, this annoying popup kept showing: (Because my low reputation, I cannot post images, please click the link below)

I tried to check the checkbox but it still display everytime I click on anywhere in Android Studio.
Help me, thanks in advance.
Try to use this for creating a desktop entry: desktop-file-install THE_DESKTOP_FILENAME_HERE.desktop
It might be the solution (if error it's because it localized the fileB, if ok it will copy to the correct localization /usr/share/applications) Restart then
After trying many times, I decided to reinstall Android Studio and the error disappeared! I don't know the reason clearly but maybe using Create Desktop Entry in Android Studio and creating a .desktop file manually (after installing Android Studio, I wanted to add Android Studio icon to launcher) caused conflicts.
goto settings in android studio
keymap-> main menu-> tools-> create desk entry
right-click on "create desktop entry"
you will get an option to turn off it.
Older versions of Android Studio had a Refresh option in the layout preview in the IDE, but in v2.2 it has vanished. I am finding repeatedly that I update drawable bitmaps in the project with updated files, that new version is not reflected automatically, and I do not see the preview. Problems like this are so common with Android Studio, it's such an utterly infuriating IDE and so flaky, despite the speed it is advancing.
Where did the refresh option go? I can't believe I'm having to actually ask this, but maybe I missed it somewhere obvious!
I have a problem with my Android Studio I just updated.
There is no device renders in the design tab, even if I create just a blank aka 'hello wolrd' activity as you can see on this screenshot.
I am absolutely sure I have no running background tasks, my Gradle build is finished. I tried to clean up and then to rebuild project, nothing changes. Am I missing anything?
P.S. I had no problems rendering device on Android Studio 1.3.
Ok, I got it.
I had to update my SDK to 23st version and choose this version while rendering device.
Very simple and truth be told obvious way.
