Action bar rendering issue - android

I am new to Android Studio. I had this action bar disappearing in design panel. Basically nothing was being rendered on the design view. no action bar no textView nothing. then i read that i should switch my theme to some other theme and that worked but i wanted to keep the normal apptheme. API changing didnt do anything to it.
what worked was:
changing the appcompat line in build.gradle to
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0-beta1'
it started working like a charm until today.I was learning how fragments work so i made two blank fragments and the rendering issue came again. just to check it wasnt some bad luck:
I made a new project.
problem was there.
changed build.gradle file.
problem disappeared.
added 2 blank frags (with xml) to the proj.
problem came again.
now ill tell you what all ive done which doesnt work for me:
updated android studio
build.gradle appcompat code change
theme change (works but i want apptheme)
API change
changing style.xml(brings back textView in the design view but not the action bar)
please help.following is the stack :

I 'm trying to use more the 'android.material.xxx' than support.design.widget.
I also tried the support.design version but it doesn't seems to work :/
What might be the problem here ?
Thanks in advice.
Had the same problem..
Adding the following line of code to your TextInputLayout will fix this issue:
app:passwordToggleDrawable="#string/string_name"
Worked for me

try going to the build.gradle(module:app) file in your project, over there, change the following things:
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha3'
to:
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha1'

Android Studio Rendering Error xml files

I am getting rendering error with android...Toolbarand android...ConstraintLayout in my xml files. However, in another application I am using exactly the same xml files and no problem occurs.
I am parallelly developing these two applications so not much things differ with each other yet I cannot understand it is doing this. I am using Android Studio 2.3.3.
Error:
Rendering failed with a known bug. Please try a rebuild.
The following classes could not be instantiated:
- android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache)
- android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache)
- android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache)
- android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache)
Tip: Use View.isInEditMode() in your custom views to skip code or show sample data when shown in the IDE. If this is an unexpected error you can also try to build the project, then manually refresh the layout.

Make sure that you are using the library of ConstraintLayout...check in app:gradle
Being not 100% sure that my solution is stable, I simply replaced
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+' with compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0-alpha1' and
compile 'com.android.support:design:26.+' with compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.0-alpha1', their specific versions in app-level build.gradle.

AppCompatActivity is not working properly

I am developing an app which uses AppCompatActivity. I have been struggling since so many days solving this error but no luck and no reply for such an answer on StackOverflow. The gradle is built successfully without any error. But when the app is installed in the device, I get a force close error.
I am attaching my Android Monitor(logcat) content here. Please help me with this.

here is my gradle file attached. Please have a look at it.
The answer to my question was given by #Piyush. The two dependencies were clashing I guess. so in short the answer to my issue will be if you are using
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.+'
etc.
then DO NOT USE
compile 'com.google.android:support-v4:r7'
along with it.
Change your app compat gradle as like below
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
don't use gradle with +
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.+'
Hope this helps..!!

Rendering Problems every time I add a theme

I'm working on a new activity which I wanted to be blank by default. I then go into change the theme at activity_main.xml I changed it to "Black.NoTitleBar" which is the one I'm trying to work with. I get a rendering problem I look up the details seems like an easy fix just update. So I open up Android's SDK update tool. I download the recommended packages. Try the afforestation process again with the same result.
Notes:
I'm using 6.0 API 23
Packages listed as installed in my SDK manager: SDK Platform, ARM EABI v7a System Image, and Google API
I haven't touched any java files everything is default and lists no error.
Here are the exception details:
I saw a thread here with the same issue however their solution didn't work for me.

If you do not need an action bar, you can use AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar as your theme.
