No Preview Of Custom Views On Ui Designer In Eclipse

Background I've been creating many types of custom views, and normally i get their previews shown just fine on the UI designer of ADT. lately, after updating to the newest version

Solution 1:

Did you also update the Eclipse plugin together with the ADT?

I know this happened to me once it was probably what i missed.

Maybe if there are updates to the actual platform SDK's update them as well. you can also try to change the version of the SDK the preview uses to the latest or earlier one (this is the android icon on the top left in the preview which should say 18).

I know that some custom views don't render if you use shadows for example on text. Then you just set the isInEditMode flag inside the custom view to skip those.

At the very end download a new zip with the ADT bundle and try again :)

Hope this helps somehow.

Solution 2:

Have you included the other workspace library into the new project? E.g. Project->Properties->Android->Library "Add" the old workspace project.
