I'm using the latest version of android studio (3.1.4), along with latest SDK version (28).
The layout does not get rendered in the design tab, I'm using coordinator layout.
styles.xml:
<resources>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Base.Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
</resources>
Layout code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".FireBaseInterfaseActivity">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/rv_notas"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab_plus"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:src="@drawable/ic_add" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

How do I get around this problem?
Try changing your targetSdkVersion to 27 (File --> Project Structure --> app --> Flavors)
and check your build.gradle(Module:app) file for this dependency:
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
if you already have this dependency and it still isn't working try adding this dependency:
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
I hope this helps you :)
