I don't know what happened to Android Studio, but after update Design preview of the project is not working property. Look what happend:
I have noticed that after update, SDK has been changed so I installed back SDK used in project but the result is the same. Also I have tried to reinstall android studio but with no result too.
If you are worried about where the code pane is, that is now at the top right corner. You have the option to switch between code, design or both now.
If you are worried that the project is not refreshing to the artifacts such as colors as shown in the error above, then check what BaseTheme your project is implementing and try to clean and rebuild your project. Material Theme can cause such issues as it follows a different naming convention than AppCompat.

I have recently updated to Android Studio 3.3 and have noticed that my layout preview is at a low resolution.
Is there any solution to fixing this? This issue occurs only with the preview and in the design tab (excluding the blueprint) - running the app is fine.
Thanks
UPDATE: I deleted all of my Android Studio files, including the SDK (which was somehow installed on my other SSD). Then I re-downloaded Android Studio 3.3 and opened my project, only to find that the issue still remained.
A lot of users are facing problems until now with Android Studio 3.3. I don't think it's a problem with graphic card, maybe they will release a new update fixing the problems in the near future. For the moment would suggest you to work with design/blueprint, and test by running the app.
I solved the problem by adding this line to my IDE custom properties:
hidpi=false
Just go to Help -> Edit Custom Properties (Create new file if it doesn't exits)
Then add the following line and restart your IDE.
I've been working on a project for a few weeks in Android Studio. All of a sudden when I opened it today, the project structure is all messed up.
Usually, it looks something like this:
A standard Project Structure.
However, upon opening, My Project Structure looks like this:
My Project Structure.
Any help on reformatting my project structure would be great. I really can't navigate it and find my Layout XML's etc..
You have selected "Project" rather than "Android"
Just select "Android" above the application name, and you are good to go.
Nothing is messed up. You are just in a different view i.e. project view.
What you want to see is Android View.
Change the view to "Android View" by clicking on the dropdown at the top of the box.
I also experienced this issue, but after upgrading Android Studio from version 2.1 to 3.2.
I had to manually update my the gradle.buld (Module: app) file to the current 'buildToolsVersion' (which is not required after the upgrade).
I also updated 'compileSdkVersion' and 'targetSdkVersion' to the latest while I was at it.
I then proceeded with importing the project and was prompted to upgrade Gradle followed by correcting issues that lint complained about.
If anyone is interested in these details- ask and I will post.
I cannot find how to refresh my project without rebuilding it in Android Studio. I have seen this popup near the logcat in the past and used it, it was wonderful for layout updates.
Is this refreshing just a layout change not available in Android Studio?
According to: Android Studio: How to 'Refresh' after adding file?
There is no refresh option for do that on AndroidStudio
There is only an option for Make project in Build -> Build Project.
But, i think this option will do the refresh option:
File->Synchronize. Or equivalently, Ctrl+Alt+Y or the little circle with arrows menu button.
Update: In the new Android Studio, This feature is available. Thanks to jason.
Because the answer isn't stated anywhere in this thread even though it's marked as accepted:
Click on your preview and press R

The Design Tab in Android Studio has disappeared after I download the latest version of SDK.
Below is the screen:
enter image description here
I have tried the methods suggested in the posts similar to my issue, which is stated as follows:
Try Designer button in the right (I do not have this button)
Try View -> Tools Window -> Designer (This button is greyed)
I saw someone suggested that this is due to the SDK location is not set correctly, nevertheless, I am not sure how I should re-set the SDK location or even check whether the SDK location is wrong.
If you update Android SDK so mostly you only need to switch to a lower API:

The Android SDK is a problem that bothers designer render.
But if it does not correct this error so it is usually a mistake android studios. Android Studio is a program with a lot of errors.
Sorry I´m using google translate.
Edit:
Or go to android SDK manager and download the android tools and android reposity and android assets.
If you have upgraded your android studio and you are viewing your old projects after this, you will not be able to see the design tab. So, create a new project and just import all the old java codes into new one.
Android Studio Code Completion seems not working on xml and also it doesn't recognize any xml attribute except the attrs on Android support v7 views.

my views that is from android.support.design.v7 display correctly:
I had this issue for a while and tried all the "solutions" provided;
Sync Gradle files.
Invalidate cache.
Removed and re-add project.
Reinstall Android Studio.
Nothing worked, until I came across this answer (by 4gus71n) which has worked for me every time this rather rare, but annoying issue has presented itself: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53160674/5692877
In my case I;
Closed Android Studio.
Cleared the contents of the C:\Users\MyUsername\.AndroidStudio3.2\system\caches\ directory.
Relaunched Android Studio.
Worked a treat!
If you are Android Studio then go to tools and then Android then click on build with gradle, it will solve the error. I encountered it too.
Tools->Android->Build with Gradle
