I downloaded the latest Android Studio 2 days back. The layout editor is blank even after I drop widgets (like Button
, TextView
etc.) from the palette.
The component tree in the left-column shows that the widgets have been added to the editor, so I know drag-drop is working, but nothing shows up on the display screen of the layout editor.
What is causing this and how can it be fixed?

Have You Added dependencies for design view? If not here it is
go to app level build.gradle, add the dependency
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:xx.x.x'
appcompat version will depend on your compileSdkVersion.
finally, sync the gradle file

Change the android xml themes like AppTheme/AppTheme.NoActionBar....or try to restart Android Studio.
Check the Latest Android Studio Version AS 3.1.1
