Visual Studio 2017 Xamarin Designer Not Displaying Content Even Though It has Before

451 Views Asked by At

I am using Visual Studio 2017 with the Xamarin extension. I have encountered a problem where the Designer view is only showing white space and not the layout and content I added to the axml file. I tried searching for a solution to this problem and found one question relevant to mine—Android Designer is not showing in Visual Studio Xamarin—but it did not solve my problem because my axml is located in the Resources > layout folder. I opened my Solution the other day from the exact same hard drive and the Designer was showing all content correctly, but now my content is not showing. This is an image of the Designer and axml code

I had the same problem after upgrading to Version 15.9.7. Designer stays white after loading a layout file. I could solv this by disabling "Enable Accelerated Rendering" in Preferences >> Xamarin.
