Rendering Problems Failed to load the LayoutLib: com.android.layoutlib.bridge.Bridge (Details)

org.jetbrains.android.uipreview.RenderingException: Failed to load         


        

Answer 1

According to Layout preview rendering problems in android studio(Android Studio 1.2)

Try changing your base application theme using below code - in res/values/styles.xml

OR

Also you can try Switching the preview's API level to lower one from the preview configuration

I think also updating your Android Studio to 2.0 Beta 2 by Canary channel might solve a problem.

If still doesn't work try to run your app on device - is layout here displaying properly?

In this post Failed to load the LayoutLib: com.android.layoutlib.bridge.Bridge you would find:

Possibly Classes With Identical names inside different projects.

I might know the issue. I just recreated a framework I made, and I called it number 2. A lot of the classes had the same name, and same method, inside packages of the same name. This seemed to really confuse the IDE and/or JRE.

I was able to sort of fix the problem, by making sure they weren't both being imported inside the same project! It is still giving me strange warnings, but it seems to be working correctly. What I would ultimately suggest if this is the case, would be to remove the duplicates from the project all together.
