Android Studio rendering problems

Question

I m using Android Studio 0 2 3 and when opened an activity layout normally  the preview should appear on the right side  so that I can switch between Text and Design mode  which should again show the preview of the layout    But no preview is shown not on the right side neither when I m in text mode nor in the design mode  I just get the error rendering problems     When I compile everything and install the app on my device  it works without any errors  For developing and experimenting with the layout  it would still be nice if I could get the preview to work   I have also tried to switch between different devices in the studio  but no success    Does anyone know how solve this

I was able to fix this in Android Studio 0.2.0 by changing API from API 18: Android 4.3 to API 17: Android 4.2.2

This is under the Android icon menu in the top right of the design window.

This was a solution from http://www.hankcs.com/program/mobiledev/idea-this-version-of-the-rendering-library-is-more-recent-than-your-version-of-intellij-idea-please-update-intellij-idea.html.This required a Google translation into English since it was in another language.

Hope it helps.

Make sure your designer version and targetSdkVersion both is same  Example   If your targetSdkVersion is 22 then change your designer version also 22  so this problem do not occur

Change your android version on your designer preview into your current version depend on your Manifest  rendering problem caused your designer preview used higher API level than your current android API level     Adjust with your current API Level  If the API level isn t in the list  you ll need to install it via the SDK Manager

Open your activity main xml   Switch to Design view if you are in text view  Look for the android version with the android robo icon  Change the android version  Problem solved

I had the same problem  current update  but rendering failed because I need to update   Try changing the update version you are on  The default is Stable  but there are 3 more options  Canary being the newest and potentially least stable  I chose to check for updates from the Dev Channel  which is a little more stable than Canary build  It fixed the problem and seems to work fine   To change the version  Check for Updates  then click the Updates link on the popup that says you already have the latest version

All you had to do is go to styles xml file and replace your parent theme from    Theme AppCompat Light DarkActionBar  to   Base Theme AppCompat Light DarkActionBar

I have solved the Problem by changing style xml   lt style name  AppTheme  parent  Base Theme AppCompat Light DarkActionBar  gt        lt  -- Customize your theme here  -- gt   lt  style gt    this was an awesom solution
