Here is gradle.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m
android.enableJetifier=true
android.useAndroidX=true

just do clean and rebuild project – Gimble

do file -> Invalidate Caches and restart – Gimble

tried this also, still no luck :( – Leninakan

Invalidate cashes / Resart from file menu. that worked for me – Dardanus

try upgrade the gradle latest version – Gimble

gradle is also up to date – Leninakan

add this line to gradle.properties: org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m – Roz

Answer 1

Finally.. I have solved the problem.. I observed error was in constraintlayout as per logcat and observed the constraintlayout version which was alpha I downgrade the version to implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3' and the issue got fixed.

I have the same error and weirdly enough my error is at res/values/strings.xml – Waspish

@Waspish did u fix it ? If yes then would mind explaining me the reason please ? I am also facing the exact same error during release build. – Rimini

@Rimini Hope you can fix this issue. I don't have a lot of confidence in those old Android libraries. I suggest removing the line where the code is showing you an error and trying again. One option is to remove libraries that show the problem – Waspish

Answer 2

Try changing in gradle.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m

Answer 3

Anyone that tried to do so with com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2 and Gradle Version 5.4.1 the fix is the same - make sure you are working with

androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3

when using 3.5.0 and up without androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3 - the UI will be blank (inflate exception) for any view that is extending ConstraintLayout.

Relieved (or should that be depressed?) to know there are just as many bugs in Android Studio as in Visual Studio .. – Cuthburt
