android.view.View$OnUnhandledKeyEventListener

Question

I am new to Android Studio and I don't get why my toolbar isn't shown as described by https://developer.android.com/training/appbar/setting-up I know there are already some other questions like mine on stackoverflow but they don't work at my project. Therefore I would be very thankful for fixing this issue. Screenshot:

Answer 1

Make the changes in your build.gradle (app level) to downgrade to version 27 as below. Then sync and build project. Hopefully it will fix the issue..

compileSdkVersion 27

targetSdkVersion 27

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
