Apps No preview in Graphical Layout

[thoshi11]

Im building an app and the target is Google APIs, platform 2.3.1 and API level 9.
When i finish creating a new Android Project this way, when i navigate to Graphical Layout in main.xml, I cant see the layout. I cant select the theme for the any skin either as it is grayed out. May i know how to solve this problem? I want to see the layout preview.

If the above description was too complicated, then go ahead and read this.

I start off with Eclipse. Create a new Android Project with build target GoogleAPIs (platform 2.3.1 & API level 9). I fill in the respective fields in the New Project form. Then when i navigate to main.xml and select the Graphical Layout tab, the preview of the Hello World string isn't shown. Nor can i see a black screen layout.

Any solutions to solve this problem? As im posting this, I'm downloading GoogleAPIs of API level 4 and revision 2 hoping that it would solve the problem.

I've uploaded a screenshot to make it easier to help me.

if there's no preview try and drag something like a framelayout into the screen (under the layout tab)

if this doesnt work try to clean your project (in the menubar__ Project->clean->Your project

If you try dragging on something like normally. If the error shows as "missing theme" you need to select the android version your using. Should be one of those empty tabs up there.
