Answer 1

You should specify a fontFamily on the TextView otherwise you'll get a crash on the preview.

For instance, let's say that you want to use Sans-Serif then the code will look like this:

    <TextView
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:layout_marginTop="28dp"
       android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
       android:text="@string/app_name"
       android:textColor="@color/teal_200"
       android:textSize="28sp"
       android:textStyle="bold"/>
