Cannot see what is in design preview on android studio? - android

This is how Android Studio looks for me:
When I pick a number text and put it on a blue screen, I cannot see it to edit it. Why is that?

At the very top where it says Pixel XL (to the left of it). To the right of the refresh icon.
You have 3 different boxes. The box in the middle is all blue, see it? great. Click on the box on the left that has zero blue. What do you get now?

Create a macro that checks color on screen

I'm using the macrodroid app on android and I'm having trouble making a macro that checks a specific (x, y) spot on the phone screen for a specific (rgb) color. I want it to check the middle of the phone screen to check if the color is either black or white and than if its black the program would click to the left side and if the color is white than the program will click to the right side.
I tried making it take a screenshot but I don't know where to go from there to make it check all the color values in the screenshot to see if its the color I'm looking for. I'm somewhat new to the app so I'm kinda confused on how I can accomplish this task.

Android emulator appears as a small box in the top left corner of the window

It's my screenshot。
I don't know what happened. I tried to control DPI with the system, but I found that it would make the font very fuzzy.
I tested setting graphics to software-gles2.0, but it didn't work.

How do I crop a drawable in Android Studio?

For some reason, when I imported a bunch of drawables, Android Studio made the resulting box bigger than the actual image. Does anyone know why this is and what I can do to crop them?
For example, in the image below the blue line shows the box surrounding the word "login". I want that box to be right at the edges of the word "login".

Design view in Android Studio scrunched to the left

Hopefully this is something simple and stupid. I am editing an existing Android app for an embedded device that communicates with Bluetooth. The manufacturer of the development kit provides the Android code so that you can edit it how you want. The device (Silabs Thunderboard Sense 2) just transfers numeric information (sensor data) from the device to the phone.
I have been able to edit the actual code to change labels and values to what I want, but now I want to rearrange/add/eliminate some buttons in the screen layout. The app generates these buttons when downloaded to the phone, but I'm unable to see them when I open the .xml files in "design view" in Android Studio. At first I thought the buttons weren't there at all, but then I noticed that there is a blue line down the left side of the sample screen. When I click on it, I get the attributes etc., but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the button to show. I have tried pulling it, double-clicking it, right-clicking it, changing attributes...nothing works. I'm thinking that it's a setting that needs to be tweaked, but I'm afraid to just go changing everything and making it worse. Here is what it looks like:
the red circle indicates where the mysterious blue line appears.
It's like the image is scrunched to the left with no width. It should be a square image button with a small icon, a label and some live data. Any ideas?
Don
try setting the FrameLayout width policy to match_parent.
EDIT
Also check your parent LinearLayout width and height policy is `match_parent'.

Android : Icon not taking full bordered rectangle

DISCLAIMER : THESE ARE NOT MY APPS
My icon looks like the one on the left on Android 9.0+. On Android 6.0 however, it's just a circle. How do I make it look like the one on the right?
When you insert image for icon in android asset studio in this select Legacy from 3 tab then Round icon generate option default tick Yes you make to it to No then you get your requirement then try to run.
see below ss.
