Eclipse Android Plugin Graphical Layout Not Showing Anything

Question

I'm using the ADT plugin and have a problem that the layout doesn't show anything; I can't drag and drop and the manual add to the XML doesn't display a thing.

The message "This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of ADT plug-in. Please update ADT plug-in" is displayed at the bottom of the graphical layout window.

I have Android SDK API 25 and 23 installed; all updates applied; eclipse Neon 2. JDK 8 installed and 1.6 compliance selected for project.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ADT plugin. The plugin shows V 23.0.7 and I tried selecting that in the layout window (also tried V25).

I also followed this post to no avail Similar Problem

Answer 1

Now Android Studio is the official IDE for Android. ADT 23.0.7 is the last updated build tools. Are you aware of this ? Also, try changing your Android SDK API from 25 to 23.
