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.

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.
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.
in my Eclipse installation I've lost the palette toolbar from where was possible to drag&drop widget on the Layout.
I'm currently opening layouts in Graphical Layout and can see everything (Structure browser, properties of widget) but no palette.
I've closed it for a mistake but now I'm no more able to open it again.
I tried to close and open Eclipse many times, I searched around in options but nothing.
What should I do? I'd like avoid to reinstall everything!
Thanks
You can try one of the following
1) Enlarge your Graphical Layout
2) Is your computer system language set to English? If not, switch it to English.
3) From the paleltte, click on the arrow pointing downwards and select "Refresh Preview"
How do I remove the android emulator's Status Bar inside Eclipse's Graphical Layout? My application is set to run in full screen mode, but I'm having a hard time in layouting because the status bar is present in the graphical layout of Eclipse.
You can just change the theme in the drop-down list (or perhaps better said in Android terminology: Spinner :)) at the top right corner in the layout editor to one of the *.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen options.
Edit: added screenshot.
By the way, if you have a hard time creating layouts that properly scale with or without the titlebar/actionbar, you may have to rethink if you're going down the right path. If you're developing for a specific (number of) device(s), then I haven't said anything.
you can select the theme spinner and select the "Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen".
Using code:-
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
above written code placed in oncreate method
I had the same problem. In debugging process, my graphical layout was perfect on the Eclipse but not correct on my phisycal device because of the statu bar at the bottom of the graphical layout on Eclipse.
I resolved this problem modifying the Theme of the layout inside eclipe and choosing "SearchBar", as shown in the pictures below. I hope to solve this question.
See the setting on Eclipse
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
