Hi, First be sure that you are using the new Java 8 environment to run the android Studio, maybe you are using the old version of java still.
Second, try to change the version of android in the design layer, on the top you will see the version of android in which is rendering, up to the zoom button. You can change the version to another lower and it will work.
