Failed to find style '**navigationViewStyle**' in current theme

This is my code

<!-- Use DrawerLayout as root container for activity -->
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <!-- Layout to contain contents of main body of screen (drawer will slide over this) -->
    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/content_frame"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <!-- Container for contents of drawer - use NavigationView to make configuration easier -->
    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"

Answer 1

This problem is a bug in version 28. The only solution is to use version 27 for compileSdkVersion.

To do that, you should use:

dependencies {
        implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
        implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1'
        implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
}

and in build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.your app name"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        lintOptions {
            checkReleaseBuilds false
            abortOnError false
        }
        aaptOptions{
            cruncherEnabled = false
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {

        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

    }
}

Failed to find style 'navigationViewStyle' in current theme

Hope it isn't late to answer but this is-was a bug in v28 and it has been discussed for many times by now. It always caused the Android Studio Preview not showing the layout and etc.

Solution: The best solution is using stable versions like 27.1.1 or updating to the latest canary version of Android Studio. However, since you were using 28.+, it might choose the wrong version and it is not recommended to use dependencies like you used by adding + after specifying the version.

There is another solution which only needs this piece of code inside Build.gradle:

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            def requested = details.requested
            if (requested.group == "com.android.support") {
                if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
                    details.useVersion "27.1.1"
                }
            }
        }
    }

This is actually a bypass to use v27.1.1 API without being need to changing the current build.gradle dependencies.

Also, the version of CardView should be the same as the support library version:

compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.0.0-alpha1'

Change it to v28 or whatever Support library is.

Answer 3

Add this line to your theme

<item name="navigationViewStyle">@style/Widget.Design.NavigationView</item>

This will help to rendering navigation view in layout.

Edited

Try with stable android library version number. Something like below

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-rc01'
