If it is a standard Android widget, it may be rendered properly, depending if the android sdk can handle it or not. Otherwise it will be shown as a grey box.

You can click on the arrows to set the layout_width or layout_height to wrap_content or match_parent. This probably needs a tooltip. Lluis.

Looks like the layout file contains invalid xml. Make sure the initial processing instruction (the tag) is the first one in the file, and that there is no whitespace before it.

Re: [mono-android] Designer Error
The problem seems to be with files which have a byte order mark. MonoDevelop creates new files without a BOM, and that's why it then works. At least I know what's the issue now.

Re: [mono-android] Designer Error
I can confirm that this is a limitation in the Android SDK. Eclipse suffers the same problem, it can't handle layout files which have a BOM. I'm going to add a check for this specific issue and show a more meaningful error message when it happens. To fix it you can just remote the header in the included file, or you can remove the BOM by opening the file with the hex editor (Open With->Hex Editor) and deleting the first 3 bytes. Lluis.
