Android studio

I have a problem In my Android studio , whenever I make changes to my XML file, it doesn't show in preview section. Like if I write a text view of hello world, it doesn't show in preview section, it remains blank but it shows correctly on my mobile when run. Even when I start a new empty activity which already consist of a helloworld program it just shows a blank screen and not hello world Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hi Rstar, i think you have a problem in your Android emulator. I had this problem and i solve it by replace the built-in emulator with external emulator. I wish that will help you

my advice is to write codes in another compiler(visual studio, notepad++). Use Android studio only as a compiler.
