Rendering Problems Missing styles. Is the correct theme chosen for this layout? Use the Theme combo box above the layout to choose a different layout, or fix the theme style references. NOTE: One or more layouts are missing the layout_width or layout_height attributes. These are required in most layouts.


Solution

  • As explicitly stated in your error log, you have to set layout_width and layout_height attributes to all layouts in all your xml files.

    In other words, your layout file should contain something like this inside its tags.

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    

    You should set it to wrap_content or match_parent according to the way it want to be,
