I've looked at the suggested answers and none of them get the layout preview to render properly. I have tried changing the theme and lowering the API.
With "AppTheme" selected as the theme, the layout preview does not render elements properly and does not match the emulator. The error messages, .xml, emulator and layout preview are shown in the screenshot.
Please let me know what information is needed. I am new-ish to android studio.

The solution given by Jadhu worked with my previous IDE version. However, I also wanted to see the Action Bar in the preview. I tried to use the solution listed in the Jadhu's link but it still did not show the Action Bar.
After updating the IDE, I no longer need to make any changes but the Action Bar still will not appear.
// Edit 2
Make the Action Bar appear by clicking the "Eye Symbol" drop-down on the upper-left corner of the preview and selecting Show Layout Decorations.
Go to your res/values/styles.xml and change the:
"style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar""
to
"style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar""
if it doesnt work, you may find the answer Here, please feel free to take a look.

I am profiling a new application I am working with. I can see the captured pink circle, I want to find out where the view is ,In which fragment and where the click listener is defined.
Here I can only see the activity information.
It's a big project.
If you are using the latest version of Android Studio, when hovering over the green bar near the top, there should be a tooltip showing the Activity and Fragment.
Regarding how to find out the View, have you tried Android Studio's Layout Inspector? I don't know a single-click way to locate the listener but it may be feasible once you locate the view.

added the Base in below:
1) style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"

Need your help to solve this problem.

#MikeBottle, There might be a couple of things going on here. It could be because your activity doesn't have theme assigned.
Please check this:
Note: In the design view, when you click the eye icon, it will give you the options to show / hide the layout decorations. It includes the top and bottom status bars. Please check if that changes anything.
Also, make sure the activity has theme assigned.
For the reference, I also included the layout preview to demonstrate how it look when show layout decorations is not checked.
As you can see in the image below, every time I open a project in Android Studio, the layout decorations option is deselected. How can I have it selected for default?
look on the top left of constraintLayout that you currently open, click on the eye icon and then click Show Layout Decorations. then you will be able to see it. but i don't know how to access it.
I think is not possible. I never see about that the solution
I am new to android development. The mouse pointer on the design page is as shown in the screenshot. I am not able to edit anything like increasing the height and width of the widget on this page. I might be able to do it in XML but I want it done here.
I want a normal mouse pointer where I can edit the widgets.
I tried looking at some of the blogs but it didn't help.
activity.xml - design
It worked after removing the cache files and restarting the android studio
Has the browser window been removed from the latest version of Xcode? I've seen this window in an iOS class I watched online and again in a book I have. I can't find anything in the View menu to turn it on.
I'm running Lion and the latest version of Xcode. I created a new project with Core Data turned on and then built it. I then clicked on .xcdatamodeld file and I get a graphic window with the default table in it.
Do you mean the project browser on the left? You enable that using the 'view' buttons on the right side of the toolbar.
The toolbar might be hidden though, so go to the view menu and select "Show toolbar" if needed.
Then select the fourth button from the right on the toolbar, it is the first button in the set of view buttons. This shows the Navigator View on the left of your screen, which has 7 selectors on the top. The leftmost will give you the project browser (project navigator), the one next to it is the symbol navigator.
I hate to be answering my own question again. I like to keep my answer rate at 100%. Since I didn't get a response here, I tried the Apple developer forums. It turn out the Xcode 4.* changed the interface and this series of windows no longer exist. The same functions can be found in other locations.
