Rendering Problems Couldn't resolve resource @id/search_edit_frame

This is the rendering error I'm getting in my xml file. I think it has something to do with my support.v7.SearchView below is my xml:

 <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/layout_ricerca"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:background="@drawable/search_border_backgroud"
    android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp">

    <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
        android:id="@+id/testo_ricerca"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:queryHint="@string/search_hint"
        android:textSize="25sp"
        android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
        android:iconifiedByDefault="false"/>

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/tasto_ricerca"
        android:background="@color/trans"
        android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
        android:layout_width="45dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginEnd="3dp"
        android:scaleType="centerInside"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:src="@drawable/tasto_ricerca"/>
</RelativeLayout>

When I change the <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView to <SearchView the error disappears, but that's not a good solution for me because I would have to change all my java code to work with the SearchView instead of the android.support.v7.widget.SearchView.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem ? why does it happen? I don't think there is anything wrong with my xml.

Edit:

Added screenshot of the error

To resolve this issue, provide an

android:id="@+id/search_edit_frame"

attribute to a parent view such as

android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

or any ViewGroup that is parent to your SearchView.

For example:

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
  android:id="@+id/search_edit_frame"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="@dimen/my_app_bar_height">

  <android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout />

This is the bomb, works great for me ! Only missing "@" in the android id resource. :) – Red M May 21 '17 at 23:27
@Red M Is it suppose to be `android:id="+id/search_edit_frame"` or `android:id="@+id/search_edit_frame"` ?? – John Nov 24 '17 at 07:46
it works for me using android:id="@+id/search_edit_frame" – Red M Nov 24 '17 at 19:46

When you have lot of cache memory data are store in Android Studio that time this type of error is coming..

There are many way to solve it.

Quickest way to do that is File → Invalidate caches / Restart... → Just Restart.
Right click on project and Synchronize ...Project
click on Build menu --> select Clean Project and then Rebuild it.

use this code

<SearchView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/searchView"
android:iconifiedByDefault="true"
android:queryHint="Search"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

Here is an easy one solution.

There is no need of invalidating cache Or restarting. Just add below line into your strings.xml file and problem will get solved.

 <item name="search_edit_frame" type="id"/>

Bingo!
