Android Studio - XML Editor autocomplete not working with support libraries

I just started using the new android.support.design library. When using any of the widgets inside the XML editor I stop getting the XML autocomplete suggestions!

For example,

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:id="@+id/header_root"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/primary_dark" />

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_action_add"
        android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="56dp"
        app:fabSize="normal"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/header_root"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end" />

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

None of the tags will show the autocomplete popup, like when I start typing "android:i" no popup appears, the only suggestion I get is shown in the following picture.

I have tried cleaning my project, restarting the pc, restarting Android Studio.. nothing is working!

If NONE of the above answers worked, ...

Just navigate to your android studio installation directory, i.e,

yourDrive:/.AndroidStudio3.3/system

and DELETE THE CACHE FOLDER ( first close android studio, if its running ).

Then start Android Studio again. Done.

P.S I am using android studio 4.0
