Constraint Layout not visible on the Layout file...And getting the error while inflating any view on it

Question

I am using the constraint layout (android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout) as the main layout in my XML file. As we get the two View of layout(One is for User View And Second is for the drag and drop the view and provide the relation between them) .But i am getting only one window which is totally blank and look alike below :-

And getting this error while using any view in my layout.Please check below image for it

My layout file is as below:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/constraintLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="25dp"
    tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/image_shot"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp"

Answer 1

Try to start with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:id="@+id/constraintLayout"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent">
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

If preview is not showing try to change selected device or check imlemented library in gradle implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
