Android Studio waiting for build to finish

Question

I have a problem. When I start a new project in Android Studio and select a navigation drawer activity it happens. I don\'t have access to my activiy_main_drawer.xml

Answer 1

I've just run into the exact same problem. I simply solved it by choosing Sync Project with Gradle Files. This will trigger a Gradle re-import and a build.

As of Android Studio v3.2, the icon is located near the top right tool bar. You can also find it using Find Action shortcut CtrlShiftA.

Answer 2

I upgraded to AS 3.6 RC1 because of this time-waster but it still intermittently occurs!

Simply restarting AS has so far been working for me.

Answer 3

I've also faced this problem. The above solution wasn't worked for me. I just restarted my Android Studio by closing the Android Studio application and opening it again from Start Menu. It works for me. Try this solution if the above not working. Hope this will helpful for you.

Answer 4

What worked for me was, from the top menu:

Build -> Clean
Build -> Rebuild Project

After that the xml design worked

Answer 5

In my case, I was using an alpha version of material design lib, and it was not able to render any view in the project. Solved by downgrading to a stable version.
