E/libEGL: validate_display:99 error 3008 (EGL_BAD_DISPLAY) android os 7.1 nougat

Question

I am getting the following error while running my app on Android OS 7.1 Nougat.

E/libEGL: validate_display:99 error 3008 (EGL_BAD_DISPLAY)[ 04-21 10:19:18.788 4410: 4622 D/ ]
HostConnection::get() New Host Connection established 0x7db835ad6200, tid 4622

In build.gradle I am using vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true and the following dependencies:

dependencies {
  compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') 
  androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support',
    module: 'support-annotations'
  }) 
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
  compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
  testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0'
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.6.0'
  compile project(':library')
}

At the build types I have:

buildTypes {
  release {
    minifyEnabled true 
    shrinkResources true 
    proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
  }
}

For the project build.gradle I have:

dependencies {
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
  // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong 
  // in the individual module build.gradle files 
  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'
}

In my UI, I am using imageview, ontop of another imageview. The problem appears both on AVD and Real device.

• Has anyone faced this issue before?
• What causes this error to occur?
• What is the solution for this?
