Android Smudged layout

Question

I've never seen a thing like this, my layout is just smudged on my device (Infinix Zero X506 running Android 4.4.2) however on an emulator it displays just fine, I can't figure out the cause and I haven't seen a similar question here or on Google. I am using Android Studio 2.2 Preview 1 Below is an image

Below is my layout xml

The entries in the spinner are feed from a custom adapter if that helps

Answer 1

This is confirmed fixed with Android Studio 2.2 Preview 4

So you no longer need to revert to plugin version 2.1.0 as the original answer explained.

Original Answer:

This is a problem with the alpha version of the gradle plugin. You can continue using Android Studio 2.2 if you revert the plugin version to 2.1.0, like so:

Click to copy

buildscript {

    ...

    dependencies {
        // other entries here
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
    }

    ...

}

In your root projects build.gradle
