Couldn't resolve resource @id/visible when using TextInputLayout

Question

Couldn't resolve resource @id/visible when using TextInputLayout on appcompat-v7:25.x.x

Tried these steps below, but the problem is still persist:

1. Rebuild Project
2. Clean and Rebuild Project
3. Clear Cache and Restart Android Studio

Below is the code in the layout file.

    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/tilFirstName"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
                android:id="@+id/etFirstName"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/first_name"
                android:inputType="textPersonName"/>
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Below is the message displayed in Android Studio

Couldn't resolve resource @id/visible

Tip: Try to refresh the layout.

NOTE: @id/visible is not present in the code.

Answer 1

This nags one with the Rendering Problems window

How to fix: add these values to any values file (the filename doesn't appear to matter, I use ids.xml, you can use an existing one as well, such as colors.xml or strings.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <item name="visible" type="id"/>
    <item name="masked" type="id"/>
</resources>
