Android Studio Theme editor not showing previews?

I am doing android development. I could not solve this problem.

Here it is Screenshot

I've tried making a new project and see what is happening there, but it's still not showing any preview.

I feel like I'm missing something silly.

I have answered this problem in this post:

After Updating Android studio to 3.1.2 , I get "Failed to load AppCompat ActionBar with unknown error. "

It is some kind of bug. I had the same problem. I searched so much and I finally found that appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3 has some bug with "Design View" part of Android Studio.

So I suggest to change com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3 to com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha1 version in the build.gradle (Module:app) and then everything is OK.

Of course you should have internet access to download com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha1
