I don't know if this is a feature of Android Studio 2.2.1 or not, but I was following thenewboston's android tutorials and his text fields appear as a single line that shows the user where to input text.
In my android studio, the line is invisible. The text field is still there, and I can edit its properties, but the field itself is invisible till I run it on the emulator(Android 5.1/Google API). Is this a rendering problem, or is this normal? This is causing me a huge problem as I can't see exactly where I've placed the text fields in text view.
Design view :
Emulator :
If it is normal, how can I force Android Studio to display a line to indicate a text field as it does in the emulator?
Here's the text for activity_main.xml:

Note: Changing app theme doesn't make the text fields appear!
Note2: Changing to theme Holo (Dark/Light) does make the text fields appear, but why aren't the text fields appearing for the other themes? What do I have to do to make this work?
