Hi,

In your xml, above the android preview screen, there should be a toolbar. There should be a little android icon which you should click and select API 23 (or an API level lower than that). Right now, API 23 N preview is most likely selected. Your getting the error because android N isn't fully supported yet.

Here's a screenshot:

Let me know if that fixes it

for me it only shows API 24 to select from. What else could I do?
