AndroidStudio throws an error when rendering the Editable Text box for the login screen

I add the blank activity for the login screen, delete the hello world textView and then place my own Editable text box down. Android Studio doesn't display it on the design screen and throws the following error - "Rendering Problems Exceptions raised during rendering: java.lang.System.arraycopy([CI[CII)V"

I was building to the 4.2 Android version SDK - but AndroidStudio was attempting to view everything in the latest which happens to be Wear - which doesn't support Editable Text fields
