Android Studio Layout Preview disappeared

Question

For my main_activity, the layout preview disappeared after i was debugging.

I have 2 other layouts in this Project, in which i can perfectly see the layout in the preview.

Also the component tree says: nothing to show
There is no rendering error showing up, below is xml

Thanks for your help!

Greetings Michael

Have you tried Rebuilding the project, re-opening Android Studio, Invalidate Caches? That is if you are sure you did nothing and it just disappeared.

If that doesn't work, you could try saving the XML code in a txt file, deleting the xml layout, creating an empty one and pasting back the code.

Update: What if you surround your LinearLayout with a ScrollView and then move the app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" to the ScrollView instead. I think everything should work fine then.

 <ScrollView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        your ImageView and TextViews here
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
