Root Cause

ConstraintLayout version mismatch or missing dependency in build.gradle, causing layout inflation failure at runtime.

中文

ConstraintLayout版本不匹配或build.gradle中缺少依赖项，导致运行时布局膨胀失败。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success Add explicit ConstraintLayout dependency in build.gradle: implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4' and ensure all AndroidX libraries are on same version.

中文步骤

  1. Add explicit ConstraintLayout dependency in build.gradle: implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4' and ensure all AndroidX libraries are on same version.
  2. Downgrade ConstraintLayout to 2.1.3 if using older AGP version, or upgrade AGP to 8.1.0 for compatibility.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Adding ConstraintLayout dependency without specifying version, relying on transitive dependency from AppCompat 65% fail

    Transitive version may be outdated or incompatible with other libraries; explicit version needed.

  2. Cleaning project and rebuilding without updating dependencies 50% fail

    Does not address version mismatch; if dependencies are stale, rebuild repeats same error.
