I get the following error and I am using Android studio 2.2 Preview 3. I searched Google but couldn't find any resources.
Error: This view is not constrained, it only has design time positions, so it will jump to (0,0) unless you add constraints
<TextView
android:layout_width="384dp"
android:layout_height="207dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="@string/calc_default_display"
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:gravity="bottom|end"
android:textSize="70sp"
android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false"
android:maxLines="2"
android:maxLength="17"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp" />
To quickly resolve this, use this very helpful shortcut in Android Studio:
Right-click widget-in-question > Constraint Layout > Infer Constraints:
Thereafter, you can tweak the constraints as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37960888/5556250
Update
This is not correct for the Android Studio v3 and up. As per @purpleladydragons's comment:
"Constraint Layout" is not in the dropdown menu. Use the magic wand icon in the toolbar menu above the design preview; there is the "Infer Constraints" button.
