While I'm not too sure what exactly is your issue given the lack of context, one approach that have worked well for me is either:

• Refresh your layout
• Select a theme from the theme dropdown menu (refer to screenshot below)

This is because Android Studio (for some reason) could not find the theme you are using for your activity.

Hope this helps
