Could not initialize class android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
This is a known issue. It is open on the Android Open Source Project Issue Tracker:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=175595
The workaround described by the Android project member is:
Workaround: Try rendering with M preview using AS v1.3 preview.
Another way to workaround this issue is to replace your android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
with a FrameLayout
when you want to edit it in the visual design editor, make your changes to the layout and then change it back to a CoordinatorLayout
when you are finished.
First update android studio to latest version (beta) 1.3 beta version. [Using menu option 'Check for updates' from android studio]
Render your preview using Android M preview.
If you are not able to find the beta update change android studio settings(Updates), then update that patch and render with M preview
may be dependency error. dependencies must be like
dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.0' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0' compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'}
