Android date picker not rendering in preview

Question

I'm using Android Studio 1.0.2, and inserted the DatePicker control to my activity. It seems to work pretty well during runtime, but it has consistently resulted in Rendering Problems in the preview, which makes it difficult to design the Activity. I didn't see any posts on this issue, but was wondering if anyone has come across this. I could post the xml, but I don't think it will help, as it seems pretty clean.

Thank you!

Here's the message I get:

ERROR RESOURCE RELATED

            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_weight=".04" />
    </TableRow>



</LinearLayout>

As requested here's the stack (does this help?)

once check the below posted code

For Horizontally view

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <TableRow
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0.04">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
            android:text="Reminder (days ahead): "
            android:id="@+id/EditSpecialDay_textDate" />
    </TableRow>

    <TableRow
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_weight="0.04">

        <DatePicker
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/datePicker"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
    </TableRow>


</LinearLayout>

For vertically view

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical">

    <TableRow
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.04">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
            android:text="Reminder (days ahead): "
            android:id="@+id/EditSpecialDay_textDate" />
    </TableRow>

    <TableRow
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_weight="0.04">

        <DatePicker
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/datePicker"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
             />
    </TableRow>


</LinearLayout>

Based on the xml which u posted in question what can be possible causes is like API level wise rending issue once change the api level from graphical preview.

XML design is not proper like in TableRow weight is given thn height and width should be 0dp so once check the code which i shared it may help.

Any one you can use horizontally or vertically
