Intellij Idea 预览不起作用（渲染问题）

Question

I've just started to learn how to create android apps, opened one of the patterns (Empty activity) and now having a strange problem. I can`t see anything on the design tab of the layout.

I'm using Intellij Idea 2019.2, gradle 5.1.1 and androidx library dependencies. I've tried to change this

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> 

in style.xml. Now I can see components in the tree, but not on the blueprint\\design.

I have this error message:

The app itself works good on the emulated android, but I want to know if there is a way to solve this error.

Update. Components become visible in the tree only after using "Clean Project"

Answer 1

It's a bug in 2019.2 and it has already been reported: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-219113

Also: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-219232 (same issue, different stack trace).

I had the same problem after upgrading so I went back to 2019.1.3 which works. So it seems that the only solution is to downgrade, until an update comes out.
