Rendering Problems:Binary XML file line #-1: No start tag found

Question

Initially I was getting error in Manifest file at android:theme="@style/AppTheme" . I look for the solution and from this solution Android Studio: Error in Layout Files - Header expected , I get rid of that error.

But on the other hand I started getting errors in all my layout preview like this

xml file for the above image is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:text="Process Inbox"
        android:id="@+id/heading"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:textColor="#964acf"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <ExpandableListView
        android:id="@+id/inbox_expandable_list"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/heading">
    </ExpandableListView>

</RelativeLayout>

I tried undo the changes but no success, can anyone guide me the reason or solution for the problem.

here is my app.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.abc.xyz"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
    compile 'io.realm:realm-android:0.82.1'
    compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.2'

}

have you tried to clean the project and close the tab and reopen it? — Anjali, Nov 10 '15 at 10:25

There's a similar question here and here

Moving the problematic tab between different split views did the trick in a second.
