IntelliJ Idea render main.xml error

Question

I have just switched to IntelliJ and would like to use this as my Android IDE, but it seems to be having problems rendering my main.xml file. Here is the error that I get:

Rendering Problems

I have tried all of the suggested solutions from this similar thread: Intellij Idea Render error

1. Uninstalled SDK Build-Tools v20 and installed SDK Build-Tools v18.0.1
2. Lowered the Android SDK in the preview tab to API 18: Android 4.3.1
3. Deleted and remade project based on a lower Android SDK

I still cannot seem to get IntelliJ to render a preview and I'm at a loss of how to troubleshoot next.

Answer 1

It is probably the bug, I have mentioned here .

It is fixed in IntelliJ EAP 14 ( Issue Tracker ) It was also fixed in the latest 13.1.5 release.
