I am currently working on a project and everything was fine. Today, while I opened android studio, the design/layout preview showing white screen only. (Like the picture)
I did try:
Invalidate Cache and Restart
Force Layout Refresh
Downgrading appcombat to 27.1.1
Adding Base.Theme in style.xml
But, nothing worked. No Build errors, runs fine in emulator and design shows in emulator, but not in android studio.
Any solution would be a great help, also let me know if you need more details.
Even a new project with Hello World layout appears same. Tried, uninstalling and installing Android Studio.
I don't know what was wrong, but below steps solved my problem:
Clear caches folder from C:/Users//.grade/caches
Clear caches folder from C:/Users//.AndroidStuido3.x/system/caches
Restart Android Studio
Clean build project
After hours of experimenting and going through lots of solutions, this was the one that actually worked.
Hope anyone in the future faces this problem will find this helpful.
Chenge the theme in the design screen,and you can see your perview.
Based on the screen shot it looks like the RelativeLayout you are using can't find the resource images like 'adminIcon'. If you click on that red badge of the icon it should have a text message behind it.
Did the artwork name of the images change? Do you see them in your res/drawable folder?
I was also facing same issue resolved following this steps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMbIUVogWTo
In short answer is change appcompact-v7 "beta01" to "alpha1"
Try these, they are worked for me :
1.Rebuild project Buil > Rebuild project
Invalidate and caches
Gradale synch Setting>Synch project with gradle files
If you have tried all the solution and still problem is not solved the try doing this- just disable the toggle icon (top right icon) in xml as your layout would be visible in only night mode. enter image description here

When I try to to see the design of a layout, it shows a gray screen instead.This started happening in every project. Even the new projects that I didn't make any modifications on, so I'm sure this is not because of an error in the layout.
I'm using the lates Eel 2022.1.1 version.
I expected to see the layout design as usual but I see a blank screen.
Click on 'Split' button which is on right top corner, to toggle design and code or code with design.
If there any issue, will appear there.
Go to File -> Invalidate Cache and Restart or Clean and Re-Build Project again.
This is a common issue in the android studio there is nothing to worry about you can use these methods to see the layout.
Most probably you didn't download gradle properly or you need to wait a few minutes after the project build
ReBuild Project to clear unwanted android studio IDE errors
Open the XML file and see all tags are properly closed and there is no error.
Your PC is not Made for Android Studio LOL so please close the project and reopen it.
Preview is not showing for some XML files in android studio but the application works fine. In order to develop my application, I need to be able to see all preview properly
I've read several posts in StackOverflow
I change style, sdk ,but it doesn't work any way
Here are some rendering error android studio gave me
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
java.lang.ClassCastException#53dcf95b
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassCastException#24df40fa
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassCastException#269b81fb
For me I switching to text to design again and again. And sometime switching to preview and gradle at the right corner. This does the trick. Hope it help you
You may try some options:
Clean Project
Rebuild Project
Invalidate caches / Restart
Switching Multiple time Text / Design [Answerd by #Rajkumar Sharma]
Change API level
Change Theme
You may close your current project and Open another new to test that the problem is in your current project or in the Android Studio.
Check Manifest
There was an earlier bug that I fixed earlier, but now the attribute bar on the preview page is almost blank, whether the component is a textview, button, etc. How should I fix it?
Almost totally blank attribute bar
Can you go and do that File -> Invalidate Caches and Restart.
Okay, here is a solution that worked for me. You must first uninstall Android Studios, then delete all the files in C:/Users/xxx/.gradle and C:/Users/xxx/.AndroidStudiox.x . Android Studio's uninstaller somehow leaves all that out. Then reinstall it again. It should work.
so I'm trying out Android Studio for the first time, and I've already run into something. I'm following the official "first application" tutorial on developer.android.com, but it's not matching up. So, I tested this with two apps, and it wasn't like a bug in the first one exclusively, it happened in both. Here's a pic of an app where nothing has been changed and I followed the tutorial exactly:
As you can see in the hierarchy, it is supposed to have the Hello World text that displays when you make a new app. However, with me not changing anything, it's not showing up.
Any ideas?
Also to clarify, the items do show up when I run it on my device, it just doesn't show up on the computer.
Check the upper right corner of the Preview screen, you should see a red warning mark. Click on that and it will tell what is preventing Android Studio from rendering your layout.
Some times android studio stuck or something.Try doing
File->Invalidate Caches/Restart
The best solution is
Clean Project
Rebuild Project
In your style.xml file change the string parent with the below line:
parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"
I don't get this. I've searched everywhere and no one's answers have solved this for me.
Why does this keep happening? I can't do anything! The XML Code is still there, but it doesn't show anything in the Graphical Editor. The Palette comes up if I change it to "4in WVGA (Nexus S)" or some other configuration, but I still can't see anything and the Theme drop down menu is unselectable. All my XML documents are like that.
Just delete any custom device screen configuration you have added . It will solve the issue :)
That just happen to me and after some attempts I found the reason.
When I first opened the project in eclipse I found some errors related with the version of Java. I changed the JDK compliance to 1.6 (Project->Properties->Java Compiler) and all errors dissapear but all graphical layouts went blank.
I uncheked "Enable project specific settings" (Project->Properties->Java Compiler) and now all the graphical layouts are working.
When everything fails, close eclipse and start it all over again, it solved my problem.
I also had that problem, it happened to me when i imported my project. after some time I came to reason just change the workspace of eclipse to folder, which contains your folder.
I changed workspace on opening eclipse, there can be some other way as well
hope this will solve it
If it has never worked for you (or something went wrong upgrading your SDK, as in my case), you may need to install an extra package. For me the issue was fixed when I installed Android Native Development Tools under NDK Plugins (SDK version 20).
I had this problem since I switched the option Show previews in the palette. I switched to show only icons, everything is ok now.
