This is a really good feature and makes form layouts a lot easier! However, the changes that are reflected in this preview don’t carry across to my app? Any changes in the .java are but nothing that I change in my .xml files?

IDEA RULES! After adding this feature I really do not have to even open any other IDE for Android.

If you’re making a list for new version of the preview, then please implement **scrolling**

Namely, if a view gets out (by its width) of preview screen, than it is not displayed. Only first X items will be displayed.

It would be nice if scrolling is enabled.

Hi,

I like this, but it would be much better if it were a design editor, allowing direct editing of the design (like ecclipse).

That would make designing a UI in IntelliJ much faster.

Will a GUI layout designer be implemented (just like in Eclipse)?

Is it only me, or does it omit background images on buttons (used as drawable reference). But still, nice feature.

Btw, its a library project (where I define the layout and also the buttons), maybe this is the reason? Dont want to file a “bug report” before I know its a bug, and not a glitch due to my setup.

Wonderful feature! I hate development in Eclipse, random build errors poped up on me in the last 3 days in that IDE (the same code builds correctly in IntelliJ) so I tried IntelliJ for the first time today and I fell in love on the first touch. Would be great if the Preview feature distinguished between layouts in layout and layout-land folders and automatically selected Landscape/Portrait parameter in the Preview window based on that… Keep up the great work!
