Bug :

The activity_main_drawer.xml in a New Project(Activity- Navigation Drawer Activity) doesn't render in preview tab.

This bug/issue is found whenever I make a new Navigation Drawer Activity.

Details :

Created a new project with new activity - Navigation Drawer Activity

I open the app/res/menu/activity_main_drawer.xml and check for preview and it doesn't render.

It's a new project with no new changes made, still the preview of the menu doesn't load.

What I tried :

Rebuilding the project
Adding tools:showIn="navigation_view" and re-pasting and rebuilding
Adding tools:openDrawer="left"
Restarting the Studio

Where you can find the project :

I've hosted it at this github repo

The picture of the issue is here where the preview doesn't render/load

I notice you've released the patch to the issue.

As a contributor to discovering the bug, do I receive any acknowledgement for it ?

Perhaps a certificate or an email of recognition ? I'm just excited I could contribute to discover and solve the bug.

Marked as fixed.

You are right, a fix for this was merged on the 30th of Jun and released in 4.2 Canary 4. It will also be released in 4.1 soon.

We do not have any certificates but, if it helps, you saved us a ton of time since it was nicely redacted and contained all the information we needed from the first comment :)

I totally understand that. I would like to appreciate your effort your efforts into resolving this issue quickly and for being so responsive.

I was just hoping if you could write me an email/letter of appreciation, I'm just a student and adding this would be a huge achievement to my Resume/CV and would mean a lot for my career.
