I have just started to learn android studio. I've encountered a problem:
The layouts won't appear in the preview after I have added them. But if I change the theme or run the app in the emulator they do appear but they overlap.
For API 27:
Add the following dependency: If you are using targetSdkVersion 27, in your App Level gradle file build.gradle(Module: app)
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
For API 28:
if you are using targetSdkVersion 28,
Step 1: Make sure you have the following dependency:
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-rc02'
UPDATE: For the latest appcompat-v7 library repo version, follow this link
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.support/appcompat-v7?repo=google
Step 2:
Goto Values > styles.xml and modify the style as follows,
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
or any other base theme you like.
Here is an example constraint layout for you,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/enter_age"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="enter age"
android:inputType="number"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/button1"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="110dp"
android:onClick="butGetAge"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/enter_age"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
