I'm trying to preview my MainActivity XML file and I'm getting this error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayoutImpl

My Main Fragment and Navigation Drawer Fragment are working just fine.

Searched all over these forums and tried a bunch of things to no avail. I know it must be an issue with the library and my gradle build but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion '21.0.0'

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.example"
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 21
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}    
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.0'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.1.2'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:21.0.0'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: 'Parse-*.jar')
compile project(':facebook')
}    

v4 was added automatically by android studio since I was using a navigation drawer. v13 I included myself (by going to project structure-->dependencies and adding it there) thinking it would help. I copied both .jar files to my libs folder thinking that would help as well. Cleaned project/synced gradle did all of that, not sure what else to do.

Just in case, here is what Android Studio created for me for activity_main.xml

<!-- A DrawerLayout is intended to be used as the top-level content view using match_parent for both width and height to consume the full space available. -->
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
     space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
     this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
     languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
     If you're not building against API 17 or higher, use
     android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->
<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
     the container. -->
<fragment android:id="@+id/navigation_drawer"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    android:name="com.example.example.NavigationDrawerFragment"
    tools:layout="@layout/fragment_navigation_drawer" />

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>

  • You do not need both `support-v4` and `support-v13`. Since `support-v13` is a superset of `support-v4`, I suggest getting rid of the `support-v4` line. Beyond that, please post your entire stack trace. – CommonsWare Nov 11 '14 at 22:41

  • Android Studio seems to have problems with previewing widgets from libraries. My apologies for not realizing that your issue was with the preview before -- I missed that in your question. – CommonsWare Nov 12 '14 at 02:36
  • Not a problem, any idea what I can do to fix this? It's incredibly frustrating. – kkl260 Nov 12 '14 at 03:21

After re-installing Android Studio(v.2.2.2) (Ubuntu system) I had problems with plugins (File->Settings->Plugins) like in:

Problems found loading Plugins in Android Studio

So I switched off plugins and forgot to switch on them. After that many build errors occurred. One of them:

android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout Cannot be instantiated

When I restared Android Studio and switched on all plugins again all errors are disappeared.
