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.

After upgrading to arctic fox, I faced this issue. Opened a project I worked previously with older version of android studio was fine, but after restart its files became full with gibberish values. I thought its a hardware failure issue. But this happening again today with other projects, so I want a solution.
After working, closing and reopening the project the files contents became corrupted/changed:
File contents changed on previous project, showing difference with git:
ArcticFoxPatch2, Projects are built with gradle 7.0.2.
Solutions tried:
I have tried potential solution of invalidating cache and restart, but the files stays same.
Android studio warns and suggest wrong encoding but reloading with multiple other encoding did not resolve file contents.
What should be a solution?
Should I change hardware, eg ssd? or downgrade android studio?
Please run android studio like this.
Click Android Studio and click right button on mouse, then click "Run as Administrator".
Hope it helpful for you.
I've been updating my project to target sdk-api28 and I started setting up the latest MaterialComponents, but I'm now having issues with the layout Previewer within Android Studio.
The Preview just won't display the correct design for the material components, eg. adding style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox" on a TextInputLayout view won't change the design (no outlines) in the emulated preview, but it does look okay when running on a phone (got outlines).
Here's how it should and does look when running on phones:
But here's a screenshot of how it looks in the Android studio's Preview.
I'm having this issue on any project, and even on the Shrine tutorial app with the same setup from MDC Codelabs (MDC-103(Java) - Shrine).
This happens only on the preview. Any of these projects, when running on a phone or on the emulator within Studio, look okay.
As much as I could 'think through' this, the issue is I believe somehow connected to my Android Studio, emulator, or maybe build tools versions? Please, could someone point out if I'm missing something very simple?
My Android Studio (sdk, tools etc) versions that I have installed:
Android Studio 3.2.1
Android Emulator 28.0.16
Android Platform Version: API 28: Android 9 (Pie) revision 6
Android SDK Platform-Tools 28.0.1
Android SDK Tools 26.1.1
This issue happaned to me in android studio 3.2.
after one day everything gose fine.
what i do was invalidate and restart. reset android studio default settings
the clean. and exit android studio and open it again. and it works fine
this is a bug not related to you only.
While some users who experienced similar issues, could solve this with cleaning out Android Studio cache and config, this didn't work for me.
After looking into various possible fixes and tips, I solved this by updating to Android Studio 3.4 Canary which is the latest non-guaranteed-stable version of Android Studio, which you can get by either downloading a Preview release (here: developer.android.com) or changing your update preference (within Android Studio) ie. Update channel to Dev channel or Canary channel within Android Studio Settings > Appearance & Behaviour > System settings > Updates
I do think that this might not be a proper fix, but it's the only thing that worked out for me and solved the layout (design) preview not being able to display correct design.
If someone else runs into a similar issue, make sure to first try out clearing cache, using the Invalidate and restart under File menu or any other method. The Invalidate and restart feature clears out cache and restarts android studio, after which it will have to sync again and check for all dependencies, Sdk, tools etc.
Also to avoid this issue, before trying out anything else make sure you have proper and latest SDK Build-tools, Emulator, SDK Platform-tools, SDK Tools versions installed.
I'll leave this here as an answer for now, and update it if any new solutions come around.
Sorry, I'm here 3 years late... But this was my solution for this render problem... It has Material.Light theme by default. If you change it to Light.Bridge the problem is solved!
Hope it helps some one
I am starting out with android studio. Unfortunately I can not even get started. In the design mode I cannot display a preview. In the picture attached you can see I do not have an option of android device. I assume this is one of the reasons.
Can anyone help me trouble shoot this. I have downloaded nexus 5 and 4 in the AVD manager. their screen resolution is 1080p and 768p - My laptop only has 720p could this be an issue?
Very frustrating as I cannot even play around with it.
Thanks in advance

Check that answer , if this is not work please reinstall your android studio or make sure all important sdk tools are download on your device.
Make sure XML representation of layout is error free.
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
If everything is proper still if android studio is not able to render your layout invalidate cache and restart android studio by going to File > Invalidate Cache/Restart
When I open layout file in my new Android-Studio file and press preview tab it'll show a message Waiting for build to finish... for infinite time.
Has anyone faced the same issue or any solution?
Cleaning and rebuilding my project solved the issue.
try different theme (may be from Appcompat) and API level from top
OR
If you have made some changes in the layout just undo it.
delete .idea and .gradle folder from root of the project
close android studio , restart it
click on gradle icon from right sidebar and click sync icon to refresh project.
now rebuild the project and it should work.
After a lot searching and I tried all solution which people give here, but any of them didn't solve my problem, I guess this problem is from studio's developers, and they may fix it in next patch.
so I simply re-installed my android studio and it's solved.
Try Clean and rebuild project.and Also try Invalidate caches/Restart.And this issue is also facing because of Low Ram in laptops.
After upgrading to Android Studio version 3.1, in the Project Structure dialog the build tools version was empty. Selecting a build tools version solved the problem for me.
Hope it helps for someone facing the same issue.
See my response on similar question posted:
Android studio error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Resource name cannot be empty
This error can occur when you update to Android Studio 3.0. It doesn't affect your ability to build a project, but the error does not allow you to visually see your xml layout files. You will also get the error when committing files to GIT, but you can still commit and push.
What I found in one of my projects is that a file was added to the "menu" folder automatically upon Android Studio upgrade, and the file had no name. It was named simply ".xml". All you need to do is delete the file and clean your project, allowing a new build of the project. That should take care of the issue.
For me I had this problem with one file, so I simply created a new one with the same code.
Simply make a build from within AS - not the command line. I get this all the time because I'm mostly using the command line. It's been like this since early versions of AS so I recon it's not high on there list of issues.
Lately (3.2) there is a lot of new internal crashes and what not - not stable at all 🤐
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
