I recently updated my ADT to version 20.something. Since then, the Graphical Layout Editor is acting strange, while using API Level 3.
Instead of showing buttons it is only displaying some kind of label.

If I change the Project Build Target to API Level 7 everything is working fine. But we’re planning on using the lowest possible API Level for our project, so this is not really a valid solution to the problem.
Of course I’ve read most of the older topics covering a similar problem, but couldn’t find any suitable information.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Best regards, sf
The WYSIWYG editor has only recently been made available.
I wouldn’t worry too much about how things are displayed in the layout editor as it has quite a few bugs still.
If it works well in your emulator and on device, then the most reasonable explanation is that the layout editor is wrong. 🙂
