Why Graphical layout (for android) doesn't appear in Eclipse?

I have created a complete new project in Eclipse. Now I want to use the design mood for drag-drop. But unfortunately the graphical layout isn't showing. There is a place which is similar to graphical layout (that I have shown in picture), but it doesn't work and it's not possible to drop something there. How could I fix this?

enter image description here

At the bottom there are some error NullPointerException. This is how it looks:

enter image description here

.XML file for the layout:

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="com.example.alarm_hkr.MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

</RelativeLayout>

Try to use another android version for rendering layouts. Set 21 or less. Helps for me. (It's green android figure with number 22 on your screenshot.)

At the bottom, there is some NullPoiterException showing. I suppose there is something wrong with some custom view you are using. Try to fix that and post some more details if you don't find the error..
