My Eclipse/ADT is running into a problem in which the menu items would not show themselves under the layout tab and I am also unable to add any new item using the Add option. The normal XML view however is working just fine. Has anyone faced the same situation before?
Try restarting Eclipse and or your computer, that usually fixes any problems.

The Design view in Android Studio is just blank for me. I've already followed the advice in this link but it doesn't work. If I right click ConstraintLayout and then Convert view it opens a window where I can click RelativeLayout but this doesn't work. Does anyone have any advice?
I had this problem earlier this week. Everything I selected for my ConstraintLayout was invisible for a new project. I ended up selecting a different theme and it woke up after that and started showing the picked views.
Screenshot Attached:
On the right on the API number ["28" in my case]. Click on the theme [NoActionBar in my case]. I think if you try a few different themes they will eventually become visible again.
Using SherlockActionBar I wrote a custom actionProviderClass (a spinner) for one of the action bar items.
I decided I don't need it and deleted all the files for it as well as the actionProviderClass attribute in the menu file. I even removed the spinner's values from strings.xml.
However, if I switch to horizontal orientation, the damn thing still shows up. I tried a fresh emulator as well as a device and it still happens. I also cleaned the project in Eclipse.
I guess something is being cached somewhere, anyone have any ideas?
User error here.
SherlockActionBar will collapse tabs into a spinner sometimes even though there is space for views
I have problem with activation of graphical layout. I want to see what I have done in XML, but graphical layout doesn't show any thing.
Also in res/layout, I right clicked on each XML files then went to "Open with/Legacy android drawable editor". Still nothing!
How can I activate it?
Thanks
I have met the same problem sometimes,but close and reopen the file and it was ok,I just don't know why...
What views are you trying to display in the graphical layout? The graphical layout is meant, in general, for basic android widgets/views (Button, Radio, TextView, etc.), and will not display custom views.
None of the other solutions I have seen so far worked for me.
But, finally discovered this one.
Goto "Palette" dropdown menu and select "Show previews"
after this, I never has this issue again.
I am using ADT 20.0.3
I imported an Android project in Eclipse. Somehow, the layout editor does not open automatically when I open a layout! After I open it, it gives me the 'Graphical Layout' tab but it is still an empty frame! The only difference I see from my previuos projects is that the top drop-down menu has an option called "Locale" while the older ones had "Any locale".
Please advise.
Restart eclipse. I always close eclipse when this error happens and restarting it after that and my problem got resolved.
Something similar happened to me today and I found that if I closed the window/tab and opened again a few times it fixed itself. It was annoying though. Also try going into the xml tab and edit something in there and go back to the Graphical Layout.
Something similar happened to me a few versions of ADT for eclipse ago.
EDIT
Ok it has just happened to me once again. What I did to resolve was to change the Android version to something else. It's the drop down box beside the Create... button. That made it reappear
I have the same problem, it goes away if I switch to XML view and make a single edit, and then save. Then switch back to graphical layout and the error is gone.
It wasn't working for me no matter what I did. But it started working again when I deleted a bunch of projects in my workspace. My theme for eclipse was also deleted when I did this too, I'm not sure why.
I'm facing a problem when developing layout files for Android with Eclipse ADT Plugin. Some of my files, when opened, does not show the Graphical layout tab, just as below:
The others (actually, the older ones), instead, show it correctly.
Does anyone knows what can be done in this case?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried right clicking one of the layout files in the Package Explorer view and clicking
Open With -> Android Layout Editor
If you can see the Graphical Editor tab and still if nothing is showing up, restart eclipse.
Worked for me!
