Layout not rendering in Android Studio

Question

I was trying out some projects in Android Studio and I came across this error which I am not able to figure out. One of the layouts in the app is not rendering in the IDE. But it is visible if I run the app. There are no issues with other layouts in the app. Only the main layout, activity_main.xml has the problem. It is showing the following errors as well.

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

I already tried deleting Android Studio and Gradle cache, Clean, and Rebuild. Invalidate Caches / Restart did not work as well.

Please help me with this as I am stuck in my self-learning of Andriod development.

Answer 1

Delete below line from all EditText tags

android:autofillHints="" 

XML Rendering will work fine.
