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.

I am trying to create an android application, of which its components are build partly on android studio and partly on unity. i can't do everything with android studio or everything with unity, so i would like a way to merge the two parts. my plan is to integrate the part built in unity as the main activity on androids studio and then create the other activities(screens) of my app on android studio and create a way to slide scroll between those screens(activities). i would like this configuration to work as a single 'precess'.
is this posible to do ?
I am still a beginner, so if I didn't explain well please tell me.
I tried to search for information that would be useful to me but on found nothing.
Yes, it's possible. You have to make an Android Export and add it to your main project. then call unity's activity which is registered on AndroidManifest and Unity part will be run.
I updated Android Studio to version 3.6.2 and after adding the RecycelerView, I realized that it is not displayed in the design tab!
There are various reasons for Design tab fail to render layouts.
Try changing the API levels in the design views.
Clean build your project by going to Build > Clean build
Ensure you don’t have any file from SDK that is missing
Still if android studio is not able to render your layout then try by going File > Invalidate Cache/Restart
I want to make android app. I have installed androis studio and now i have problem with it. The preview window is hidden
I have tried to fix this problem by updating everything that is possible, but after updating the window is not shown

You can see that i dont see screen where is running code
Android studio does not show me errors and
API is 22
You are using a bad version of constraint layout I would use the constraint layout from the androidx Library
androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout I think is the tag
You can try to invalidate Caches and restart like this:
File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart...
After you have done it try to reopen android studio and check your preview.
Another solution that can help you is to switch from the Text tab to the Design tab, this is also the recommended option for working with ConstraintLayout + you can see your preview in your design tab.
And if all of that didn't work you can always reinstall android studio again, this may be the less recommended option but it will most likely solve your problem.
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!
Running Android Studio 1.0.2 for Windows
Using a new Blank Activity or Blank Activity with Fragment project (bug happens with both). Haven't modified anything in the code yet. Using API 10: Android 2.3.3
Often immediately, sometimes shortly after I drag or edit my first/any UI element into activity_main.xml, Android Studio freezes and I have to close the process in task manager to get it to close.
I notice that in Task Manager the Android Studio Windows Launcher is taking about 25-30% of my CPU while its frozen.
What's going on here? Any ideas?

I may have found a solution for this.
I theorized that perhaps it was just the windows display that was frozen (the visual rendering of the Android Studio program itself) and guessed that perhaps this was using a DirectX device to do the rendering of the Android UI.
I happen to have another app running on my computer that uses a DirectX device for rendering (SimpleJungleTimer, an app I programmed with a DirectX overlay for League of Legends jungle timers). After I shut down this app Android Studio appears to be working properly (not freezing when working with the UI anymore)
Ultimately it sounds like this is a bug with Android Studio itself where they don't properly kill / reload the DirectX rendering device when it is in conflict with another app's active DirectX device (something that the android studio developers should probably fix), however until the android studio developers fix this you should be able to get around this bug by making sure any other applications that might use DirectX for rendering are shut down while coding in Android Studio so that their DirectX rendering devices don't conflict with Android Studio's DirectX device.
