Rendering issue using Android Studio 0.4.0

Question

I recently decided to try Android Studio after being a while on Eclipse. My main activity xml rendered okay on Eclipse but Studio seems to have a problem with it. It reports this on the Preview window: Rendering Problems java.lang.StackOverflowError Copy stack to clipboard.

Part of the contents (full is > 70K characters) of the clipboard is:

The actual xml code is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/currentPosition"
    style="@style/ScreenFont_Normal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:background="#F7F7E6"
    android:textColor="#8B8B8B"
    android:text="@string/curr_loca" />

<fragment 
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_below="@+id/currentPosition"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    tools:layout="@layout/activity_main"/>

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/progressBar1"
    style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true" />

</RelativeLayout> 

Although this does not affect the build and creation of the .apk file I would still like to take advantage of the cool graphical UI editing features of Studio.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Answer 1

Remove the following line from the XML inside your fragment:

tools:layout="@layout/activity_main"/>

Reason: In Android Studio, you're presented with an option to edit separate layouts when working with an XML document containing a fragment. Upon selecting the option to edit the parent layout, this line above is inserted into the code. Cheers
