Can't find "Convert to MotionLayout" in android studio - android

I have tried adding different implementations for constraintlayout
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-alpha4'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.2'
Cleaning the project, still right clicking on constraintLayout does not show "Convert to motionLayout". I need to manually add another xml file under the xml directory for the motion. Looked into other people's problems. Seems they had the dependency issue. Any helps will be appreciated.

The MotionLayout editor is available in Android Studio starting from version 4.0.0. Make sure that you have updated your IDE.

use
"implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.2'
Make sure your project compiles at that point.
Then convert.
This small (< 2min) video shows the conversion:

MotionLayout in AndroidX does not exist

Android Studio cannot find MotionLayout in xml. I use the androidx.constraintlayout.motion.widget.MotionLayout tag and get a gray screen. I’m also implementing 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:2.0.0-alpha4' and changing to alpha02 changes nothing. I already found a question with the same problem, but it also had no solution.
I used the wrong implentation in gradle. Correct is implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-alpha4'
after i updated everything is needed ,my problem resolved with clean project in build!

Rendering error in constraint layout

So tbh I am a bit of a noob when it comes to android programming. Started an app development yesterday after a long hiatus. I have worked with Android Studio and Relative / Linear layout in the past but with the new constraint layout I am having rendering issues. It just refuses to render the text view. I have tried to search and tried every possible fix for the same. I have attached a screenshot of the same
Try rebuilding your project as follows; Build >> Rebuild Project. Somethings the you can't see the design until you've made a successful build.
Also, check that you have included this in your build.grade dependencies
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'

Android Studio SDK 27.1.0 CardView Render Issue

Render problem
Failed to find style 'cardViewStyle' in current theme Tip: Try to refresh the layout.
Missing styles
Missing styles. Is the correct theme chosen for this layout? Use the Theme combo box above the layout to choose a different layout, or fix the theme style references.
Cardview render correctly in SDK 26.1.0,27.0.1,27.0.2
Try converting gradle to this:
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.0.2'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2'
I had the same issue and this worked for me.
I had the same issue and therefore finally changed the card view from :27.1.0 to 26.1.0.
Try converting all support libraries as per my gradle and then sync it. See if it works?
gradle

Update your Android Studio version with latest version and use SDK 28.

Preview Anko DSL views

I'm looking for a way to preview the rendering of an Anko view DSL in Android Studio. I've searched a lot and found only some deprecated or not working Android studio plugins. Is there a trick or something to make it works ?
The Anko Support plugins doesn't work...
I use Anko support plugins to preview DSL layouts all the time. There may be a few reasons why it may not work in your case:
Your layout should be defined in an external class that implements AnkoComponent interface.
Try rebuilding your project if the layout does not render properly. The preview works after the project is rebuilt.
Try refreshing the layout if that might solve your issue.
Make sure your Anko dependencies are latest and Android Studio 3+.
If you can share more info like the versions of your plugins and your code, maybe I can help pinpoint the exact issue.
