intelliJ android UI rendering problems - Missing Library

After much headbashing i seem to have got my first hello world app running within IntelliJ ultimate. I downloaded the lastest ultimate edition today.

When I try and open the main.xml in the UI designer I get the error below.

Can anyone help? I liked the look of the UI designer from the videos that intelliJ provider here: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/android-tutorials.jsp

Thanks in advance

This version of the rendering library is more recent than your version of IntelliJ IDEA. Please update IntelliJ IDEA

In the preview tab simply open the last drop-down list and pick the lower Android SDK. In my case, I picked Android 4.4.2 and the preview appeared instantly.
