Android Studio 3.4.1 Layout preview render problem

Question

I get "Render problem" error with the message "Failed to find the style corresponding to the id 2130969273" in the layout preview. It occurs when I use ConstraintLayout in my layout xml. Tried some techniques to fix

• Invalidate cache and Restart
• Rebuild
• Reinstall
• Change theme

but no result.

All dependencies are up to date. Build tools version is 28.0.3.

Answer 1

I had this problem as well, with messages that said "Render problem" and "Enable new layout rendering engine". I solved this problem by enabling the LayoutLib Native plugin (if yours is already enabled, then try disabling it), and all the errors went away.

Downgrade your build tools version to 27 also downgrade the version of support libraries to 27.Most of the times it helps to solve these types of issues.
