  • Just adjust the zoom? – javdromero Aug 05 '21 at 15:26
  • @javdromero That will be very painful. It was clear in previous version. – Sam Chen Aug 05 '21 at 15:34
  • I have seen quite a few posts here regarding this, maybe it's an IDE issue as usual. I don't trust the stable updates these days because minute but important things like these break for no reason – gtxtreme Aug 05 '21 at 15:48

It helped me: Help => Edit Custom VM Options => Paste "-Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=false" and restart the IDE.

Not just XML preview, the Jetpack Compose preview is also very blurry on my Macbook. I tried the old trick Help > Edit custom properties and add:

hidpi=false

But this did not work (maybe it will work on Windows, you can try). Currently I have to revert back to Android Studio 4.2.2 .

My issue is resolved when I installed the Oracle Java JDK 11 and then changed the JAVA_HOME directory from JDK1.8_xxx to latest JDK I installed and then I restarted my system Image after doing this

Now the latest version (BumbleBee) fixed this problem.
