I just started with android studio, installed and created a new project. Created an Empty Activity and when I go to app>res>layout>activity_main.xml, I can't get to see the preview. It says -> Rendering Problems Failed to load platform rendering library

I tried changing API Level by clicking on android above, Tried-> 24,22,18 But all of them give me the same error.!

<?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"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="com.app.myfirstapp.MainActivity">
<TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!" />
</RelativeLayout>`

The render works fine in Eclipse, so why not in Android Studio? I'm using Android Studio v2.1, SDK Tools-> 25.2.1 rc1, Android Platform Version: API 22: Android 5.1 (Lollipop) revision 2

This is the activity_main.xml file, any help wou

Any help would be appreciated!

Go to the "Design" tab of the xml and reduce the android version to use while redering from the drop down.

Take a look at this: Android Studio rendering problems
