I just started with the Build your first app tutorial from android.com but for some reason, the design view does not show anything I drag or drop to it. I've tried creating buttons, text, plaintext etc, all with no errors, however, I can only see it when I run the app. What am I missing?
Running Android studio 3.1.4 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
This is my first time using it, and I searched for similar questions before posting and only found questions/answers that were not similar enough to my issue to be helpful. I have tried rebuilding and invalidating the cache/restart with no avail.
Here are some snaps:
Snap of studio
Snap of emulator
Last here is the activity_main.xml:
