Eclipse Android Graphical Layout Editor Broken

Question

I\'m running Eclipse Helios on Mac and just updated to ADT 9.0.0. It seems to have broken the Layout editor. Any time I try to open a layout xml file with the layout editor

Answer 1

Same here, but I found something. The problem happen when I try to use Google APIs as the Project Build Target. If I change to Android 2.3, it works as expected

Answer 2

I just stumbled across this same issue now. There seems to be a new dropdown in the "config" section for selecting a platform version (none was selected in my case). Selecting any (eg. "Android 2.2") made the Theme selector appear, and the layout works agin.

Answer 3

Facing a similar error. I cant see any graphical layout preview in the Graphical Layout tab of mine. Most of the drop down menus are blocked (grayed out). This happens when I target Google APIs 2.3.1 with API level 9. But on the other hand when i build it with Android 2.3.1 API 9, everything works fine.

Answer 4

I think its because of the custom layout components ur using.

I think there is a bug already filed for it. You can file another one or vote for existing one to be fixed on priority

Answer 5

I was having the same issue with ADT version 15.0.0. After updating ADT to 15.0.1 everything is working fine. Hope this will solve yours issue also.
