Android Studio - Textview Not Showing in Design View Layout

Android Studio - TextView not showing in design view layout

There is a bug in latest sdk 28 ,

Change the compileSdkVersion 27

targetSdkVersion 27

and

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'

Update:

This is said to fix problem but I did not test it yet

In styles.xml change the parent theme for your app to Base.Theme.AppCompat instead of Theme.AppCompat

TextView not showing even I can see it on design and other views showing

You must use android:text="@string/sort" instead of tools:text="@string/sort" in your TextView

According to docs

You can insert sample data in your layout preview by using the tools: prefix instead of android: with any attribute from the Android framework. This is useful when the attribute's value isn't populated until runtime but you want to see the effect beforehand, in the layout preview.

For example, if the android:text attribute value is set at runtime or you want to see the layout with a value different than the default, you can add tools:text to specify some text for the layout preview only.

    </RelativeLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

hope this helps. But for better working you need to take relativelayout and linearlayout in single layout. feel free to ask if this doesn't works

EDIT:

If you need this in a single view you can try

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">


    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/colorAccent"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:padding="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin">
        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="plan"
            android:shadowColor="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"
            android:textSize="30sp"
            android:shadowRadius="2"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:shadowDx="1"
            android:shadowDy="1" />
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/colorAccent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:padding="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin">

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/plan1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            tools:ignore="ButtonStyle" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/plan2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            tools:ignore="ButtonStyle" />

    </LinearLayout>

    </RelativeLayout>

Content in textview not showing (Android Studio)

I got your issue - just remove the android:paddingTop="50dp" from the text view or reduce the padding top. and text will be visible.

You are giving padding top equals to height thats why text is not visible.

TextView showing on design preview, but not in actual Android app

Found the issue. Switching android:text="You're currently logged in" to android:text="You\'re currently logged in" fixed it. So I guess Android requires escaping single quotes when setting the text in XML?

Found by using the layout inspector tool, which showed mText as having no value

Textview not showing inside LinearLayout

Change width of text view to wrap content and replace tool:text to android:text

<TextView 
     android:id="@+id/products_row_item_price_text_view"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_weight="1"
     android:gravity="center"
     android:textSize="20sp"
     android:textStyle="bold"
     android:text="$999.90" />

For answer second :

Use view before end of parent linear layout

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:background="@color/white"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="20dp">

    <LinearLayout 
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:orientation = "vertical">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/products_row_item_product_image_view"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/products_row_item_product_title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text="@string/fragment_marketplace_products_row_item_product_title"
            android:textSize="17sp"
            android:textStyle="bold" />

       <TextView
            android:id="@+id/products_row_item_description_text_view"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/products_row_item_product_description" />

       <View
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:background="@color/very_light_grey"/>

      <LinearLayout
           android:layout_width="match_parent"
           android:layout_height="match_parent"
           android:orientation="horizontal">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/products_row_item_price_text_view"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:textSize="20sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            tools:text="$999.90" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/products_row_item_heart_image_view"
            android:layout_width="27dp"
            android:layout_height="27dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="5dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
            android:scaleType="fitXY"
            android:src="@drawable/like_heart" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/products_row_item_likes"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="end"
            android:text="@string/fragment_marketplace_products_row_item_likes"
            android:textSize="20sp" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:background="@color/very_light_grey"/>
   </LinearLayout>

     <View
        android:layout_width="1dp"
        android:layout_height="match"
        android:background="@color/very_light_grey"/>
</LinearLayout>

Android Studio 3.1 design preview not showing anything (buttons, text, etc.)

*** Right Click on the Component, Then go to Constraint Layout and click Infer Constraints

*** Replace Constraint Layout with a Relative Layout

UPDATE

Go to res/values/styles.xml file...

on line 4, its always...

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

Change this with

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
