Android Studio XML doesn't show anything in Design View. (empty screen)

I checked other questions, but they all are about blank screen(white screen or theme). But in my case, it shows literally nothing.

I tried 'Force Refresh Layout'. But It didn't work. And only reboot can solve problem. just closing and opening Android Studio doesn't solve this problem(I even tried with removing cache and restart.)

Which one of Android Studio is related to Design View? I don't want to reboot and even though I reboot, this problem keep occurring, So, I need some better way to solve this problem.

You will be able to see if you use any Theme.AppCompat theme to your constraint layout. For example

android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"

Try this solution and see if any one actually works

  1. Update your constraint layout dependency change the dependencies in your gradle module file to something like this Specially and sync it implementation'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.1'
dependencies {

    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.1'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

  1. Invalidate Cache/restart File>Invalidate Cache/restart

  2. Disable and Enable android support apk File>Settings>plugins>Under Installed section -> disable and enable and see if it works
