I'm working on my first Android App using the Android SDK for Eclipse and the eclipse plugin (ADT)
Recently I've encountered an error while trying to build an UI in XML with the GUI. Any time I try to open a layout XML file, I can't find the graphical interface (No Layout TAB, just the source and the design tabs).
I have to write all the XML code. I think that graphical editor is broken and I don't know what I have to do. Anyone else have the same problem or any suggestions?
did you try to re install the ADT Plugin ??
if it doesn't work , you can use this website , it is very useful , and then just copy/paste your code :
refer this link

May be you have already try it, but try to remove then reinstall eclipse android plugin. For me it worked when I had a similar issue. If not work, witch version of Eclipse do you have (Not only the number version, but also give if you dowload eclipse for java developer, ...) and witch Android SDK do you use ?

I just installed android studio from old setup and updated it. Now while creating a new project there are no default templates other than these two.
Please help to get that back.
here is the screenshot.
You can see your templates in Android-Studio/plugins/android/lib/templates/activities. In your android-studio there are two activities.So you see two templates.For more templates you can add templates from old android-studio in this android-studio in above path.
"Seems like you have updated the Android Studio but you have not yet updated the SDK, Would you please try updating the Android SDK with latest one and all its components.. This might solve the problem..."
well I updated my studio, and while creating a new project I check marked "include c++ support"(New Feature), so because of this I was not able to see more default template.
So I just unchecked "include c++ support" and everything works good as before.
Thankyou
I create a project using Xamarin with VS2015, and everything was great.
I did update for both VS and Xamarin then when I open any *.axml layout file VS freezing then crashing.
I try many ways to solve this , repair VS , repair Xamarin , Update Android SDK , recreate the project them add the files again , disable Xaml designer and reset the settings of VS .
the problem sometimes goes , sometimes appears and now I am stuck with the solutions , please help.
I Solve this issue by:
1- deleting all the android virtual machines
2- not to put theme for the toolbar if the layout contains one and make theme global for all layouts.
3- install Xamarin components from nuget source.
4- do not install Android 6.0 N Preview.
5- Java jdk 1.7.0_71 is the most stable JDK with xamarin until now , so don't update java JDK.
some addition steps and recommendations :
6- make all your resources names are small case.
7- not to add '-' in any resource name.
lastly ..
Keep your Android SDK updated.
The Design Tab in Android Studio has disappeared after I download the latest version of SDK.
Below is the screen:
enter image description here
I have tried the methods suggested in the posts similar to my issue, which is stated as follows:
Try Designer button in the right (I do not have this button)
Try View -> Tools Window -> Designer (This button is greyed)
I saw someone suggested that this is due to the SDK location is not set correctly, nevertheless, I am not sure how I should re-set the SDK location or even check whether the SDK location is wrong.
If you update Android SDK so mostly you only need to switch to a lower API:

The Android SDK is a problem that bothers designer render.
But if it does not correct this error so it is usually a mistake android studios. Android Studio is a program with a lot of errors.
Sorry I´m using google translate.
Edit:
Or go to android SDK manager and download the android tools and android reposity and android assets.
If you have upgraded your android studio and you are viewing your old projects after this, you will not be able to see the design tab. So, create a new project and just import all the old java codes into new one.
Recently i've started android training, and i've got the below 2 issues.
In my desktop i already had eclipse installed, and when trying to import the android plugins, I was getting some error, so what i did was downloaded eclipse+android package from android developers website and I copied it onto my programs files folder where java is installed and when i open it, it is throwing me an error saying the javaw is not found, goinf through the earlier posts on SO website, i've tried the below.
-vm
\adding the java path
But this didn't work for me. so what i did was installed the same package in my laptop(there is no another eclipse on my laptop). and it started working fine.
On my laptop in the eclipse+android package i write a program and when i hit the Android virtual device manager, it asks me to create a AVD, and when i've filled the entire data here, the OK button is still greyed out. Below is the screenshot.
Also i've tried to create by creating from Device definition,even here i'm not getting the ok button hoghlighted and below is its screenshot
please let me know how can i fix the above issues.
Thanks
Firstly you need not wonder for such a mess ..
For IDE purpose .. go to this link .. https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
Android Studio IDE contains all you need .. Just download ..extract and start creating your first Android project.
And now for tutorials to learn .. try these site ..
(1) https://buckysroom.org/videos.php?cat=6 ( Travis ... provide best tutorial in this world )
(2) https://developer.android.com/index.html
Now you are good to go ..
You can see it clearly says: "CPU/ABI: No system images installed for this target"
So either:
Lower your target.
Update your SDK.
Then set a CPU and you can go on in the AVD creation process.
update the sdk, install ARM/intel(x86) for CPU/ABI
Try using Android Studio by IntelliJ ,as it is for more better than eclipse and moreover ADT plugin for Eclipse is no longer in active development.
if you then also get the same error again try this link android Developer and setup java environment.
yesterday i have update my avd at that time internet connection are disconnect.and i got a problem in Build & run project.so simple i have Clean it. and its goes to working fine but when i open any xml file it will give message like "LayoutLib is too recent. Update your tool!" i think that any tools are missing it will update shortly.but not getting any update. and in any project while i have open project it will give message again this.
i have attach one screen short please consider it and tell me what is the problem?
Note: this is not a xml file problem it is globally eclips or plugins problem
update your SDK in eclipse, by going to Window>preferences >Available packages select the latest package and download
EDITED
In the "Graphical Layout" tab of the layout editor there is a dropdown(above theme) for selecting the Android version to use. so select a compatible version and you're probably good to go.
