    The editor is probably unable to load the custom theme file.

    First try to fix issues in your app theme file.
    (For me it was an empty item tag of fontFamily)

    If unsuccessful, just select a different theme from the top toolbar menu of the designer.

    Gradle is also a likely culprit so make sure that your gradle version is 7.4 and AGP is 7.3

    I had the same problem. I think it was a bug in Android Studio.
    The only solution that worked for me was downgrading the Android Studio to Chipmunk (2021.2.1 Patch 2). You can find it here: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive

    When installing another Android Studio, do not forget to uninstall the previous version. (You will have the option when the setup will be shown).
