Rendering problems

Hello. I am getting Rendering problems errors in xml design. I am using api 15 and have tried all the rendering versions but it fails to load. Also getting this following error: "porterduff color filters are not supported"

I've realized that the rendering issues appear only after I run the app. In order to fix this, I have to create a new project. Cleaning, refreshing, rerunning project don't help. I've also tried to change the api rendering versions (from 15 to 23) but none of them seem to make a difference.

Please help. Thank you in advance! Alex

Don't worry so much about it. Rendering problems are quite common and after a while you'll stop using the design view. I had the same issues and worried about it too. Now I just run the app to see my changes.

In the Design view, try to click on the refresh button (the button with two curved arrows)
