  • If it says waiting for build to finish you only need to wait. Android Studio is heavy af to run. What are your pc specs? If you think that your pc is fine just try downgrading to a old version – Joaquín Jul 06 '18 at 20:02

Android Studio can behave like that sometimes. Either you have to wait or try reinstalling Android Studio all together. Or, you can try and cleaning and rebuilding your project.

If you have nothing on your activity yet, just create another navigation drawer activity. Or, just clean then rebuild your project.

Steps for temporary workaround:

  1. Remove tools:showIn="navigation_view"
  2. Close activity_main_drawer.xml
  3. Reopen it and go to design tab, wait 2-3secs

You will see your menu but as a regular menu.
