StackOverFlowError When Trying To View Graphical Layout For All XML Files

Question

Yesterday the graphical layout was working fine for the xml files from my app but today whenever I try to view the graphical layout for any xml file I get this error:

main.xml: java.lang.StackOverflowError
java.lang.StackOverflowError

at ...

And it keeps going repeating the line: com.android.ide.common.resources.ResourceResolver.resolveResValue(ResourceResolver.java:333)

Can Anyone Help?

I am guessing (without the code posted here) there is a problem with your RegEx . There may be repetitive alternating RegEx paths that causes StackOverflowError due to recursive calls. Follow this question and try to post your code if possible.
