Android Studio: Rendering Problems Missing styles-correct theme chosen for this layout, Failed to find style with id

Question

I want to create card item xml layout for CardView and getting this error. Common solutions here not worked (tried them all and others from similar posts).

This is my xml:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/card_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        card_view:cardCornerRadius="3dp"
        card_view:cardElevation="4dp">


    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>

This is the relevant part of styles.xml:

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/primary_accent</item>
</style>

<!--Theme for Tool Bar (Action Bar)-->
<style name="ToolBarTheme" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar">
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/white</item>
</style>

This is the relevant part from the Manifest:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

This is the relevant part from gradle build script:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'

And this is the error:

I was also facing the same issue. Please restart Android Studio by selecting the menu option "File" → "Invalidate Caches / Restart". For more details please follow the link:
