Error inflating class androidx.constraintlayout.ConstraintLayout after migration to androidx

Question

I just made a migration to androidx through Android Studio menu option Refactor -> Refactor to AndroidX

I\'m getting the following

Answer 1

yepp. mavenCentral() and correct dependencies solve my same problems

Answer 2

If after adding mavenCentral() as a repository in your Gradle file and changing androidx.constraintlayout.ConstraintLayout to androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout didn't solve your problem then try doing Invalidate cache and restart from the file menu. It worked for me.

Answer 3

I copied and pasted an existing ConstraintLayout tag from the xml, which was causing the issue for me. Simply deleting, and re-adding the ConstraintLayout tags in AndroidStudio from scratch fixed the issue for me.

Answer 4

I updated the dependency, yet it did not resolve the error. Then I did a clean project and build and it is working now.

Answer 5

build.gradle => check dependencies version

implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.1'

to change

implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'

solved the problem
