Rendering Problems @id/visible Android Studio

Question

I have this xml file. If I compile it works fine, but if I go to see the preview it shows me this error:

I tried to look for this id but I couldn't find it anywhere. What is this @id/visible? How can I fix that? Thanks

@Charuka, no, it's a bug of appcompat-v7:25.1.0 as written in accepted answer and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41303347/couldnt-resolve-resource-id-visible-when-using-textinputlayout. — CoolMind, Jan 11 '17 at 09:43

The error likely originated from android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout. If so, it (most likely) is a bug, and it has been filed in the Issue Tracker.

To test if android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout is the culprit, remove them from your layout and see if the error still persists.

If so, you may try to switch the API version in the editor to 19 or below, though you may see some minor differences in the design output. Or simply remove android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout until the issue has been solved.

This is not the solution but I have added these lines to dimens.xml:

<resources>
    <item name="visible" type="id"/>
    <item name="masked" type="id"/>
</resources>

Hey better than nothing. – Nathan Schwermann Mar 21 '17 at 20:33
Perfect, worked like charm. Tried all other options Restart, Clean, Change API all failed. By adding these 2 lines fixed my issue... – Akshay Jul 06 '17 at 02:08

The real reason for this is because you have a LinearLayout inside of a ConstraintLayout. Try to change all LinearLayouts to Constrained ones and the problem will go away

I don't have a ConstraintLayout in a project. Maybe Navigation drawer affects. But API 19 works. – CoolMind Feb 17 '17 at 18:06

try invalidating cache

File → Invalidate caches / Restart... → Just Restart.

You should set 1. android:id="@+id/visible" to android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout and 2. android:id="@+id/masked" to child of TextInputLayout

just add two line cod in strings.xml file Then clean project `

  <item name="visible" type="id"/>
  <item name="masked" type="id"/>`

Because Android studio can not understand the type of attribute of some libraries like 'TextInputLayout ' And by doing this, we'll tell Android Studio that attribute visible is id type
