Does this mean something is happening around this issue?

Now that they've landed on ConstraintLayout 1.0, perhaps they're also done changing up the internals of the Previewer? :tada:

Any update?

Any update?

When we have an update, we'll update the issue. Before that, we'd appreciate if you could refrain from posting further "Any update?" comments. Thanks.

If this plugin is going to be reworked, what about previewing not only for AnkoComponent, but also for arbitrary expression, e. g. preview createTheCoolestItemView() function call output?

Anko DSL Preview plugin is rewritten in order to support Android Studio 2.4.
The updated plugin will be released with the upcoming Anko 0.10.

@Miha-x64 This would be quite difficult to implement. By the way, here's the feature request about supporting custom View classes: https://github.com/Kotlin/anko/issues/116.

@yanex Is there any way we could see the preview without rebuilding the project?

[Miha-x64]

...what about using scripting engine to run updated core on-the-fly?
