I have been working on a little project in Android Studio and I ran into a problem. In my layouts I've been using fabs and constraint layout yet when I try to open the editor I see a black screen, the app still runs fine. The message I got was: Exception raised during rendering: object is not an instance of declaring class
this is the XML for the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

android:layout_height="match_parent">
