I want to create card item xml layout for CardView and getting this error. Common solutions here not worked (tried them all and others from similar posts).

This is my xml:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/card_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        card_view:cardCornerRadius="3dp"
        card_view:cardElevation="4dp">


    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>

This is the relevant part of styles.xml:

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/primary_accent</item>
</style>

<!--Theme for Tool Bar (Action Bar)-->
<style name="ToolBarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item>
</style>

This is the relevant part from the Manifest:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

This is the relevant part from gradle build script:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'

And this is the error:

I was also facing the same issue. Please restart Android Studio by selecting the menu option "File" → "Invalidate Caches / Restart". For more details please follow the link:

  • @viper Check if Android studio version and version inside build.gradle of your project are matching or not. dont confuse this with build.gradle of app. This maybe the issue in your case. If they are not matching, make sure they match and everything should be fine. – MSS Oct 25 '17 at 14:40

You can solve this problem by changing current theme to suitable themes. Every theme is not suitable for every type of view. By using theme combobox we can solve this.
Here is the problem enter image description here

1. Firstly go theme bar and press it
enter image description here


2. Change your theme like in the picture below enter image description here Now you changed your theme. If selected theme is suitable with your view it will render.

I also faced the same error, what i did is i made the layout theme similar to the theme i am having in manifest.xml and it worked for me.
