I'm trying to debug a layout problem in Android Studio 2.2.2 and I'm getting "Exception raised during rendering: Binary XML file line #-1: Error inflating class " in the Design view.

Expanding the details gives me

The screen shot looks like: enter image description here

A bug like this has been discussed here: Rendering Problems Exception raised during rendering: com.android.ide.common.rendering.api.LayoutlibCallback

... but none of the solutions seem to work, and also the API Preview dropdown doesn't look the same - that Stack Overflow querst5ion seemed to be for an earlier version.

I've set the API to 23, and I've also invalidated caches and restarted.

So how do I debug this so Android Studio will render my layout?

Use

if (isInEditMode()) {
    // do nothing or use stub
    return;
}
// do actual work

in method that crash. So, in preview studio will use stub, but on device application will use real data.

  • In WHAT method that crash? The crash seems to be happening in the Android code, or in the Android Studio rendering code, not in my code. – user316117 Aug 02 '17 at 15:55
