how to solve render problem Path.op() not supported?

Question

How to solve this error: Render problem Path.op() not supported

I tried to force refresh layout, restart, update Android Studio, stop antivirus for a while, but the problem is still there.

Surprisingly I am able to compile and run the app, but how to get rid of this error?

I am using:

Android Studio 3.5.3
Android SDK Tools 29.0.2
Android SDK Platform Android 10.0 (Q) Android SDK Platform 29
Default OpenJDK Platform binary

to reproduce the error:

Create new Android project with empty activity

replace the layout with the following layout:

I was facing the same problem. The reason is, that the new versions of Material Components are bundled with this bug. So, I tried replacing the version in the Gradle build script with the version that supports Path.op().

So, the only thing you have to do is replace the dependency in your Gradle build script with this one:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha02'

Worked for me as well. Button icons were not showing on layouts, this solved the issue. – FraK Feb 20 '20 at 01:06

The current latest version: `'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'` seems to have fixed the bug – Peter Wauyo Feb 09 '21 at 14:25

Problem solved by replacing the material component implementation in Gradle Build ( at App level )

com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha05

to

com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha02

Use the Experimental Rendering Engine, which solved the problem for me. First Suggested by Carlos.

Here is how to do it in android studio.

Go to File > Settings

Now the settings window will show up.
Go to the Experimental tab and check/tick Use new Layout Rendering Engine

That's it!

I bumped into the same problem yesterday. Mine got to do with the

com.google.android.material.appbar.AppBarLayout

component. I do not know exactly why, but adding android:background="..." solves it.

A little late but

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha06'

works correctly, so no need to downgrade to alpha02 anymore.

I faced the same problem. The problem improved when I run the application. I think the problem will be improved when you clear and rebuild your project.

anyone going through this problem just downgrade or upgrade you material design dependency to

 implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha02'

seems to be more stable in terms of rendering especially if you are using android studio V3.4 and above. I miss eclipse sometimes

If you are using "ImageView"s inside your make sure their XML code is like this.

Your default generated could be like below. Wrong XML Code

Change (tools:srcCompat="@drawable/img_avatar") to (android:src="@drawable/img_avatar") like below Correct XML Code

I think it will fix that problem for you. Thank you.

Additional Details:- My Android Studio Version My Gradle Dependencies

I ran into this problem when I tried to display a PNG in a ImgView.
