Android screen design in eclipse Layout files doesn't appear like the way it appears on devices or emulator. When I designed the layout first time it was working will but suddenly all layouts has damaged on eclipse but not on real phones and emulator
The damaged design:
How it shown on phone:
so does anybody experienced this situation?
Appreciate your help.
Hey are you using Absolute or Relative Layout, then try to use LinearLayout.
It happened many times for me. In that time, i just restart my eclipse otherwise, remove the project from workspace then, restore it from local history. This will give the solution. Try these ways.
Hope this helps you.
SpK almost answered the question.
Anyone faces this problem can exit eclipse and from task manager try to find adb task under processes tab then end this task. Then open eclipse again; It worked with me.

I don't know how to explain this other than I cannot click on anything in the android studio designer. I can edit the xml fine, but I am trying to use constraint layouts and its easier if I can drag and drop things. When I hover over anything the hand pointer does not appear and the attributes don't show up if I click. I think it has something to do with floobits but I'm not sure. Floobits just seems sort of buggy to me. Just wanted to post to see if others have had the same problem or for someone to hopefully point out something obvious I have missed. I have opened another project and that works perfectly fine. Thanks.

Clean Project -> then Rebuild project -> then restart Android studio
As the title states I am making an app with android studio. I recently installed git as well in order to interface with GitHub. For some reason whenever I change the layout on the layout editor, or type more than 3 characters of code the git terminal opens up multiple windows, then they disappear, and I get no errors of any kind. It repeats indefinitely and I am really unable to get any work done because of it. Has anyone seen anything like this before and if so I would love any help I could get. Thank you! I tried to make this as detailed as possible hopefully it isn't too broad.
Hello people of Stack Overflow!
I've been trying to create my first app for a while now using eclipse.
I understand how to create the layout in XML. I understand Java enough to do build simple java applications and work with packages and such.
I've been following this tutorial series and have come to a point where i need to test the app.

** sorry: not enough rep to make three links **
This is where the trouble is - testing. The emulator from AVD doesn't show my app's icon anywhere in the menu. I have also tried Genymotion, and the same issue occurs.
As far as I know, all of the paths and uri's are correct to link everything up, but it just won't
show.
The directory structure containing AVD Manager and SDK Manager are both located directly on the C drive.
My eclipse workspace is under my user's folder.
When I go to run it as an android application, the option doesn't appear sometimes, but once I clean the project, the button appears again.
Below are some screen-captures I took and uploaded to imgur. I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks for the attention! :)
I'm willing to try Android Studio as well, but eclipse I am accustomed to from school.
I don't know if it whatcmade the problem but you dont have any setContentView there.
Your app will not show any xmlfile or even a view.
Make sense that your app will not show anything but i dont think thatvit will cause it to disapear (if icunderstood correctly)
Try fix it and if it does not work please show me your androidManifest.xml file
I have been coping with an annoying "bug" in eclipse (android) for some time, and today it has just annoyed me to much! So I was wondering has anyone else come accross it, and have you found a fix for it?
It's hard to explain, so hopefully these three screen caps will help:
The first screenshot, everything is ok.
The second screenshot, after a simple click everything moves around.
The third screenshot, another click and things move again.
Closing the file and opening it again seams to solve the problem for a while, but it's really annoying!
Has anyone come across this, or a fix for it?
--EDIT
Forgot to mention, I am running:
Eclipse 4.2.0 64-Bit (on Windows 7)
ADT 20
This is a known bug and happens if you edit the layout in the visual editor and then switch back to the xml editor. You can sometimes fix it by scrolling up and down the file or selecting all the text. Otherwise, just close and reopen the xml file when switching from visual editor to xml editor. It's annoying and still happens to me even after several updates to ADT.
Edit:
I have since found a better solution. In Eclipse go to Window->Preferences. Then under Android->Editors uncheck "Automatically format the XML edited by the visual layout editor". This should solve the problem. You can always auto-format the code manually by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F.
As some commentators have mentioned it seems that this is a duplicate (have flagged as such), although as it is a hard issue to describe that is no surprise! I have tried an answer from one of the questions and it seems to solve the problem. Although it does not prevent the issue!
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.
