Android studio: Why TextView, Buton, etc are not Visible in Design Editor.

[Bishnu42]

I have installed Android studio in Windows 10 OS. I created a new project based on the Login Activity. In the Design Editor I have selected Both option(Design or Blueprint view). But TextView, Button, Label, etc are not visible during design time. At run time everything is ok. But no controls are visible at design time.
Please Help.

I seldom use Design Editor. I prefer coding for layout design. Let me have a check in my Android Studio tomorrow.

Sir,
I am new to Android Studio. I need to see the preview in the Design Editor. I will be waiting for the solution.

The 3rd icon right to Palette is 'Hide'. It will hide Widgets such as Button, Checkbox,... and so on. Click the 'Palette' to show it again.
In addition, make sure you have created at least one AVD. For example, Nexus 4.

Sir,
Kindly see the screenshot and tell me where to click. I am unable to find the Hide option in the Pallet.
Waiting for your kind reply.

I just created a new project based on the Login Activity( the same as you ) in my Android Studio. But it works fine. I have sent the screenshot to you. Sorry that now I am not clear what's the difference.

Have you seen my screenshot I have shared with you on Amazon Cloud?
You may try to change the AppTheme above your layout.

Congratulations.
What theme did you change to from AppTheme at last?
Btw, hope you would like to support my free app on Play Store.
