Android Studio: No attributes for components on preview page - android

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.

Android Studio layout design shows blank screen

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.

How can I see all my code without scrolling in Android Studio? (I mean all code in one page without scrolling)

You know scrolling in code is very annoying
is there any solution to get rid of it?
I mean I want to preview my code ALL in one page without any scrolling.
You can go to settings and set font to the least one.
go to android studio settings -> plugins; and search for codeGlance . install plugin and restart your ide. and voila.

Android Studio Layout preview not showing design

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

Blank Graphical Layout?

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.

Can't preview Android XML layout - LayoutLib is too recent. Update your tool?

After upgrading the Android SDK through the AVD manager, I cannot preview XML layouts any longer in eclipse for Android 2.2 previews. Eclipse says, "LayoutLib is too recent. Update your tool!"
Using the drop-down and choosing any other platform works fine. Why is this happening for Android 2.2 previews?
I have also updated the ADT plugin for ecplise as well. Any suggestions?
This is a bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17369
Updating from 10.0.1 to 12.0.0 resolved this issue for me.
In Eclipse, Help --> Check for updates
You'll likely see three items to be updated to 12.0.0+. Install, restart Eclipse, and the layout view should display without error.
More of a fix than an answer, or a fix with no explanation: r-click on the res\layout*.xml file you want to open, select Open with, then select Android Layout Editor. That should open the .xml in the graphical layout/design view you're used to.
For whatever reason, after updating from 10.0.1 to 12.0.0, my layout viewer default changed to XML Editor (one of the options under the context menu referenced above), and I have to manually open with different editor. Opening manually selecting Android Layout Editor seems to set ALE as the default for that .xml file going forward.
I had the same issue. Went in Eclipse->Help->CheckforUpdates. Selected everything there and hit next. Keep hitting next until finish. The update will start at the bottom right hand corner. Will also ask for permission. Press "OK". Will restart eclipse and problem is solved. I guess there was a bug with ADT but whatever this update fixed it.
