The new update has a lot of problems the easy way is create your project from command line then import it to eclipse to do that:

1. Go to sdk folder for example mine is (The folder included android execute):

   $ cd Program/android/adt/sdk/tools/

2. Get list of target:

   $ ./android list

   Available Android targets:

   id: 1 or "android-7" Name: Android 2.1 ...

3. Choose one of the target in that list and put the id in this command to create android project:

   $ ./android create project --target 24 --name MyFirstApp --path MyFirstApp --activity Main --package com.mrg.myfirstapp

4. Then it made for you. now in eclipse right click on project explorer:

   

5.Select this:

6.Rename project name if you want and press Finish

then it may works

Oh, just changing the Android version to use when rendering layouts situated at top right corner avoid the problem :)

Try to install ADT plugins

1. Start Eclipse, then select Help > Install New Software.
2. Click Add, in the top-right corner.
3. In the Add Repository dialog that appears, enter "ADT Plugin" for the Name and the following URL for the Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
4. Click OK and go on :) All the instruction can be found in the guide Install plugin
