Anko: android studio 3.0-alpha4 is not supported anko layout preview

[tjt852]

My android studio 3.0-alpha4 is not supported
auko library and plugins version 0.10.1

[JamesKarl]

I have the same issue.

[benluo]

It does not only preview, but does not render in programm neither.

[benluo]

it shows blank in android phone or in emulator.

[tjt852]

@benluo Running on the phone no problem, that is, can not preview

[benluo]

I cannot show in the phone (n5, android 6.0) either.

Im seeing the same issue, easily replicated with

class StartActivity: AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        StartLayout().setContentView(this)
    }
}

class StartLayout: AnkoComponent<StartActivity> {

    override fun createView(ui: AnkoContext<StartActivity>): View {
        return with(ui) {
            linearLayout {
                lparams(width = matchParent, height = matchParent)
                backgroundColor = ContextCompat.getColor(ctx, R.color.darkBlue)
            }
        }
    }
}

It seems to be working now though after dropping from beta2 to beta1

In Android Studio 3.0-alpha 5 (Canary 5) the issue still exists. There is no preview item to be selected.

[benluo]

same behavor. It shows blank in real phone (n5 with Android 6).

[JoeMaher]

@elton2048 and @benluo make sure your appcompat dependency is com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0-beta1

[benluo]

I tried again after change the dependency. But nothing changed. Anko layout does not work in real phone.

import org.jetbrains.anko.*
import org.jetbrains.anko.sdk25.coroutines.onClick

class SignInActivityUI : AnkoComponent<SignInActivity> {
    override fun createView(ui: AnkoContext<SignInActivity>) = with(ui) {
        verticalLayout {
            val textView = textView()
            textView.text = "hello"
            val workingNo = editText {
                hintResource = R.string.working_no
            }
            val password = editText()
            password.hint = R.string.password.toString()
            button(R.string.title_activity_login) {
                onClick { ctx.toast("Hello")}
            }
        }
    }
}

The menu option "Anko Layout Preview" is greyed out for me in Android Studio 3.0 Canary 5 (Anko 0.10.1).

[benluo]

I have the same problem.

[MichaelJokAr]

I have the same problem.

[Aheadboy]

i have already install the plugin,and extend the AnkoComponent interface.but there is nothing show for me.event not show grey "anko layout preview".am i find wrong place?where you gays
find "anko layout preview" .my android studio is 3.0, canary 8.
hope solve this as quick as possible

[etsit]

The "Anko Layout Preview" option is not visible at all on the "Views -> Tool Windows" menu
in Android Studio 3.0 Beta 1 (MacOS Sierra)
I'm first putting the cursor in my "view declaration" (my AnkoComponent) implementation according to https://github.com/Kotlin/anko/wiki/Anko-Layouts#using-the-plugin

[vafu]

same on 3.0 canary9 as said @etsit

[MichaelJokAr]

see the wiki https://github.com/Kotlin/anko/wiki/Anko-Layouts#using-the-plugin ; it's not yet support android studio 3.0+

[kirillkh]

Actually, it says "supported only in Android Studio 2.4+". The version 3.0 matches that requirement.

[vafu]

anyway, xml -> anko conversion works, so plugin works too, I just can't get the preview

[Edward608]

Still no preview in AS 3.0 beta 4

[vafu]

come on, JetBrains, did Google told you that anko is not the right way and you discontinued the library ?

[Edward608]

When did google talked about anko? Can someone give me the source of reference?

[tyzero]

Still no preview in AS 3.0 beta 6

[AweiLoveAndroid]

啥时候出正式版

[ShyamAg]

Just Change the theme "AppTheme" to NoTitleBar

[duymon178]

The only solution now is to rebuild your project to see any changes.

Fixed with c685e07256673f144d788c51865c6a42e13da120

I still see this error on Anko 0.10.4 with Android Studio 3.0.1
Build #AI-171.4443003, built on November 9, 2017
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-915-b01 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Linux 4.14.13-1-ARCH

I'm including Anko in my module's build.gradle as

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "org.jetbrains.anko:anko:$anko_version"
    ...
}

and my code seems to build okay, however the preview causes the java process running Android Studio to spike the CPU.

I just started a new project today using minSdk of 25 and I'm getting the same issue with the example verticalLayout.
