I want to use Material.Light.Panel theme when i'm using AndroidStudio preview,but in Select Theme dialog, I cannot find it.

enter image description here

My build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

androidExtensions {
    experimental = true
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    androidExtensions {
        experimental = true
    }
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.dslx.electronicclassboard"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        ndk {
            abiFilters  "armeabi","armeabi-v7a"
        }
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$support_version"
    implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:$support_version"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:$support_version"
    implementation "com.android.support:design:$support_version"
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'

}

Add Dependency for Material Theme in your app gradle. implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha05' Then change theme in your styles.xml to <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light">. After that change the preview theme you can find the option for material themes as shown in the image.Sample theme selector image

The theme is not set in your build.gradle, but in a styles.xml file located under res->layout->values

  <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"/>

From here you can set the theme for your app in your manifest file

  android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
