I'm a beginner and I'm new to android development. I can't modify the textview properties, even after manually modifying in XML it's not showing up. I tried clicking the blue arrows it's not showing anything.

This is how it currently looks like:

I want the properties to show like this:

Edit1: Xml Code:

<?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.robpercival.demoapp.MainActivity">

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="My Great App"
    android:id="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:textSize="50sp"
    android:textColor="#080808"
    android:background="#2cfb03"
    android:padding="10dp" />

By text view properties I mean textcolor, size, gravity, padding etc

Any help would be really appreciated.

    can you post your xml code? And what do your mean by properties? – Geethakrishna Juluri Jan 03 '18 at 07:09
  • Post your xml please. – Aditya Jan 03 '18 at 07:12
  • I don't know what you are trying to do here but on the lower left there is a tab called Text select that and you will be able to change properties manually. – Sunil Sunny Jan 03 '18 at 07:20
  • It seems the project is not loaded correctly . Try Build > Clean Project. And Re-Build project after cleaning. – Sunil Sunny Jan 03 '18 at 07:36
  • Sorry, I didn't clarify my problem clearly. I'm actually having same problem as this --> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41637499/android-studio-not-showing-properties – datacrusader Jan 03 '18 at 08:06
  • I'm having the same issue. Starting to think this might be a bug in Android Studio. I've tried clearing my cache, rebuilding, etc. In some of my layouts, the Attributes window populates correctly when I select a TextView. In other layouts, the Attributes window stays blank after selecting a TextView. – afarley Aug 14 '18 at 16:47

if no need background color, remove it android:background="#2cfb03"

android:layout_centerInParent="true"
