While working on AS Dolphin bet 3 sometimes I can’t see the xml properly in the design tab. It’s just empty. Anyone else having this issue?

Looks like this

What does the error say when you click on the red icon in the top corner?

[Luis Alonso Ato Neyra]

Hey @Chris Sinco [G]

[Luis Alonso Ato Neyra]

Those are the errors

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Can you expand the last one? “Failed to instantiate…”

Looks like customs views doesnt display properly

Try changing themes in design view, Similar issue happens with me in Electric eel

[Luis Alonso Ato Neyra]

@Chris Sinco [G] same error on electric eel. Only happens when I use a custom view

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Is this expected with your current themes?

[Chris Sinco [G]]

Meaning, are you expecting the issue about Theme.AppCompat with your custom view or you know it's a big with Studio?

[Luis Alonso Ato Neyra]

it’s a big with Studio

[Luis Alonso Ato Neyra]

There is no problem when I open that layout using the stable version

[Luis Alonso Ato Neyra]

Actually, I’ve tried settings other themes but doesn’t work as expected. I tried with an xml without custom views and works fine, So probably is a bug?

[Nabeel]

For me it's fixed when I set other themes in design view.

[Nabeel]

And check your custom view theme is sub of AppCompat

[Luis Alonso Ato Neyra]

But as I said, why does it work properly in the stable version without any change on the theme? Anyway, I’ve already changed the theme and doesnt work

[Chris Sinco [G]]

I see. Do you have the custom view code for us to test and repro on our end? And what stable version of Studio are you using exactly?
