For Android Studio  or IntelliJ IDEA     If everything looks OK in your project and that you re still receiving the error in all your layouts  try to  Invalidate caches  amp  restart    Wait until Android Studio has finished to create all the caches  amp  indexes

I changed the res values styles xml file from this    lt style name  AppTheme  parent  Theme AppCompat Light DarkActionBar  gt    to this    lt style name  AppTheme  parent  Base Theme AppCompat Light DarkActionBar  gt    and that solved the problem

I had the same problem for one of the activities in my app   one of the causes of this problem is that Theme in the theme editor might be different than the theme defined in the  styles xml  change the Theme in the theme editor to your  Apptheme  or your custom defined theme if you have defined   Doing this fixed my issue

My Problem has also been solved by changing in styles xml   lt  -- Base application theme  -- gt   lt style name  AppTheme  parent  Base Theme AppCompat Light DarkActionBar  gt

Find styles xml in app res values folder   Parent attribute of the style could be missing  Base   It should start as   lt style name  AppTheme  parent  Base Theme AppCompat

I use android studio 2 3 3  - Open styles xml - Android studio will show a notification on the top right with two options   open editor  and  Hide notification   - Click  open editor  - Under theme parent dropdown  click show all themes - Select any theme starting with AppCompat     I used AppComat DayNight   NB  If your title bar disappears  you need to extend AppCompatActivity instead of Activity   All the best

Another mistake that can have the same effect can be the wrong theme in the preview  For some reason I had selected some other theme here  After choosing my AppTheme it worked fine again

I did what  gbero said  and I changed the Android version number that Studio uses from 22 to 17 and it works   I am using the backwards compatibility to build for Android ver 22 but to target 17  idk if that s correctly said  I am still trying to figure this app stuff out  so that triggered the backwards compatibility  which afaik is what the android support v7   is  This is probably a bug with their rendering code  Not sure if clearing the cache as suggested above was needed as rendering didn t work just after invalidating the cache  it started working after I changed the version to render  If I change back to version 22  the rendering breaks  if I switch back to 17  it works again
