Eclipse- moves my button labels right - android

as You can see on the screen shot: all labels on my buttons in Android layout designing are moved right. Of course they are correct when using emulator, but this irritates me during designing layout.
Whan can I do to change this?!

Android studio, Why does a button not stay in place

I am currently working on a new app in Android studio. I added a button, but when you try to run the program on a virtual device the button goes to the top left of the screen, like it's not anchored in place. It won't stay where I have put it, saying that this won't work either for a text box. I haven't written any code for the button yet but when I see other people do this they don't need to write code when it will still work. So I don't know whats going on. Also I'm kinda a beginner at android studio but still have a good rough idea.
I am also using a macbook pro (Apple operating system).
Yes thank you.
The final resolution is to put in the java area
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomof="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftof="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightof="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toLeftof="parent"
Just in case if anyone is looking for a resolved answer in android studio. Thanks
You need to specify the alignment properties for the Components (Button,TextView,EditText etc..)based on the Layout(Linear ,Relative,Constraint) You are using.
Try these
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"

I had a similar issue with a TextView I was trying to add. There was a little magnet on the upper left corner I had to click to fix the issue on the Design window.

HOW to change preview?

I have been editing the stupid android studio layout for the last 3 hours, and I cant change the preview!
For some reason, android studio layout is stuck on wear square! I just want my layout to be a Nexus 6p, but when I click on that, instead of changing the layout editor phone, it just jumps to my layout-normal xml!
How can I change the phone shown on the layout editor? It is causing me way too much trouble
You can change the devices by pressing D from the keyboard into the Preview pane. Previous settings will be set to default when you will restart the studio.
Resize your layout by dragging the bottom-right corner of your layout to the far bottom right of your screen.
The "Device in Editor" drop-down will change to "Custom".
You should now be able to select any listed device.
I had a similar problem. Accidentally pressed "Force Refresh Layout" from the design toolbar (where you select design and blueprint) and it fixed the problem.
You might have made a different layout folder for watch and other screen resolution for device like layout, layout-large, layout-xlarge.
Try to check for your layout folder by cleaning and rebuilding project again.

Unable to drag UI elements to Android layout Eclipse

I am having trouble getting Eclipse 4.2 to work with the latest Android SDK. When I try to drag any of the UI elements from the palette onto the Graphical Layout of the XML, or onto the outline view, nothing happens. Same is true when I try to drag existing elements in a relative layout. I am able to use the XML for the layout but not the designer.
I am also not able to close tabs using the x icon, I have to right click then go to close.
I have tried using Eclipse 3.7, same problem.
Thanks in advance for the help.
The emulator might be running. Try closing the emulator and drag ....it should work !
Hello I am assume that into your XML file, You can not see the graphical layout.
I have also face the same problem when I import the project from the workspace, that time simply close the project and again open the project.It works for me.
And for more Information see this LINK
Finally solved by re-downloading eclipse
Check your XML for warnings displayed as little yellow exclamation marks like this one:
Although my code was running fine this prevents any drag and drop.
Try cleaning the project and run it again. this worked for me.

widgets missing from graphical layout palette (android on eclipse)

I'm not sure what happened exactly, but when I started up eclipse, there are no widgets in the graphical layout palette, as in the folders show nothing in them. It has worked before. Is there any way to fix this?
Got the same problem, just enlarge your Graphical Layout and it works.
Switch your computer system language from your country language to English! The widget folders in palette cannot read your country language; only English.
This fixed it for me.
I experienced a similar problem, where some of the widgets such as TextView and EditText were missing from the paleltte.
Here is what I did - from the paleltte, click on the arrow pointing downwards and select "Refresh Preview", here is a picture of what I'm talking about:
right click on palette then select DOCK ON then select left
It will not show if there is not enough space on your screen fr some reason. You need to minimize a window to open up your working space and it will show.
The same thing happened to me.
After trying everything, I changed the theme of the project. And oddly, the widgets reappeared.
The themes can be changed in the top bar of the design window.
