In new update android studio 2.2 facing rendering issue then follow this steps.

I fixed it - in styles.xml file I changed

"Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"

to

"Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"

It's some kind of hack I came across a long time ago to solve similar rendering problems in previous Android Studio versions.


  1. Open AndroidManifest.xml
  2. Change:

    android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

    to something like:

    android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"
  3. Hit "refresh" button in the "Previev" tab.
