IntelliJ IDEA Render error

I'm trying to set up IntelliJ IDEA for programming android but I can't render the main.xml.

This is the exception I get when I try to open the main.xml with the Android GUI Designer (IntelliJ Utility). I have the latest IDE version so I don't know what's happening here.

IDEA does not have a render version for 4.3 yet. Try select version of Android that is less than 4.3 in the dropdown in the preview. It works for me.

In the preview tab simply open the last drop-down list and pick the lower Android SDK. In my case, I picked Android 4.4.2 and the preview appeared instantly.

There seems to be an incompatibility between IDEA and the latest release of the Android SDK Build-tools (18.1). Installing the slightly older version 18.0.1 should fix the problem.
