Missing styles. Is the correct theme chosen for this layout? Use the Theme combo box above the layout to choose a different layout, or fix the theme style ref

I solved it by changing "classpath" in "dependencies" in build.gradles.

Just change:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

I had the same problem using Android Studio 1.5.1.

This was solved by using the Android SDK Manager and updating Android Support Library, as well as Local Maven repository for Support Libraries.

Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem after trying other suggestions.
