Hello, since I upgraded my project to

0.1.0-dev16

Android Studio can’t seem to generate any preview. Any idea? I’ve checked all versions everywhere, it seems OK. Here’s the error I see in the preview messages:

TO be fixed in next android studio version I think

Agreed, 4.2 Canary 8 is supposed to fix this: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/162000445#comment4

I wonder when it’ll be released

Thanks guys, known issue then 🙂

In terms of the release schedule... since we are on Canary 7 right now, I would assume that Canary 8 will be released fairly soon. My bigger worry is that the comment is off and the fix will be postponed until a later release.

I hope it’ll be soon 🙂 Maybe related to the release of 1.4?

1.4 was released yesterday, so we might be getting close!
