Android Studio design view not loading - android-studio

I've been using android studio for a while now and I have never had any problems. Today i tried to open a new project and the Mainactivity file opens but when i try to open the design view (as shown in the picture) it just keeps loading and never stops. I tried closing and reopening android studio but it still loads without finishing. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
android studio

Try the below methods and let me know:
First, let the studio build the project completely. Preview won't be available until the project is built. Make sure you've correct library implementation in Gradle and you have a stable internet connection. If those are okay then follow the below methods-
Invalidate Cache and Restart Android Studio
Restart Your Computer
Create a new project and try building it.
Let me know if it fixes your problem.

How to resolve symbols #mipmap and #style in Flutter project?

A while ago my designed Flutter app was running like it should in simulation (virtual device) in Android Studio. After some updates of both Flutter as Android studio I am not able to get the app in simulation. I am new to Flutter and Android studio (have a little knowledge of Xcode, 2 apps in the store) so I have looked at stackoverflow first to find a solution. All tried suggestions did not worked for me and I am hoping somebody can help me.
I have an original version of the project which was running in simulation mode. Now I am working in a duplicated version to find out how to get things up and running again. It worked before but why does Flutter or Android Studio give an error now? The folders and content do exist. Perhaps it is a simple thing to solve but it is not in my knowledge.
What to do to solve the error message I get as shown in the screendump?
The problem seems to be with the resources,
this should help.
Android Studio error: cannot resolve symbol in Xml
Or try to run "flutter clean" (usually solves many problems)
Flutter studio sometimes does not resolve those (no idea why).
Try opening the same Android project in Android studio and check it from there.
Once back, try File->Invalidate Caches/Restart
If they exist and the name is right (without extension), then it could be it.

Why Are Android Studio Menus Not Working?

I have been using Android Studio for years. Very shortly after upgrading to Android Studio 3.5, the menu options have stopped working. I mean, anything under File, Edit .. all the way to Help. By "stopped working", I mean, I can use the mouse to select, and then .. nothing happens. A colleague suggested to invalidate caches. But invalidate caches itself is under the File menu, so nothing happens when it is selected.
Any ideas? Quitting and starting android studio didn't work. Rebooting didn't work. Changing the java version used to run Android Studio didn't work (it is set to be the same one that gradle is using). Even downloading and installing a fresh copy of Android Studio 3.5 didn't work -> from this, I suspect the problem is a settings problem, but WHICH settings got somehow corrupted? and that survives even with a fresh installation of Android Studio?
To find-in-path, the menu option doesn't work, whereas I can directly use the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘F and it brings up the find window.
Am running on MacOS Mojave. Java home is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_221.jdk/Contents/Home
Finally, Android Studio 4.0 came along, and we installed the patch to upgrade to it, and the mysterious problem went away, presumably as a result of the upgrade.

How to refresh the layout Preview pane in the Android Studio v2.2 IDE?

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!

Android Studio Clicking on "Project Structure " not working

I have met a strange question about Android Studio and I have tried to find a solution on the Internet but it failed.
Here is my question:
I open the Android Studio and the project can be installed to my device correctly. However, when I tried to open the Project Structure, it failed without any response. I just clicked on the button below but the Project Structure dialog didn't show up:
I have SDK installed below:
Please help me how to open the Project Structure dialog.
I have found a method to avoid my problem. My way is that uninstalling my sdk which version is Android 4.4. After doing that my project structure shows up. try deleting your current sdk for an attempt.
