Android Studio 3.1.3 does not show layout desing preview

问题

It has passed some time since the last time I have created a new project in android studio and today when I did it the android studio does not show anything from the layout preview. Its a blank window and says "nothing to show".

I already tried;

updated the sdks tools, cleaned the project and rebuild it, invalidated and restarted caches, theme changes, and still nothing.

Solution

now i am using mac.

回答1:

as my experience, switch to "Design".click "force refresh layout"

回答2:

Did you update classpath

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'

}

Try this way, switch to your Design/Text tab in layout editor. And check the preview window. Preview will be there.

I don't know how this works but I frequently using this hack when my preview isn't working since I upgraded to android studio 3.1.3.

PS: This hack only applies to empty preview (none of the elements or menu items or options or messages are visible in the preview pane).

please replace

compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion '28.0.0'
targetSdkVersion 28
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-beta01'

with

compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
targetSdkVersion 27
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'

screenshoot

click on the Eye icon in the selected area, in the pop-up window enable Show Layout Decorations.

If the magnet next to the eye icon is active, make it inactive.

Have a nice day.
