To Solve. Java finished with non-zero exit value 2 - Android Gradle follow this answer Java finished with non-zero exit value 2 - Android Gradle
And then for preview button try this: View -> Tool Windows -> Preview

I am sorry but i dont have that option either under **Tool Windows**. The list goes- a faded 'Palette', faded Properties, Terminal, then faded theme preview. Also initially the app was talking a lot of time to install to i cancelled it a couple of times before finally having it install properly, so maybe because of that something happened with the libraries. I deleted it once and installed it again but it just started without the long installation process-@priya jagtab – user3744516 Nov 24 '16 at 05:52

Yes, my previous problem got solved. Thank you so much, but now as you expected(i guess) i am facing "Java finished with non-zero exit value 2 - Android Gradle" I cant fix this. That is my simple hello world project is not getting printed out in the preview – user3744516 Nov 24 '16 at 06:51
