How to solve this error: Render problem Path.op() not supported

I tried to force refresh layout, restart, update Android Studio, stop antivirus for a while, but the problem is still there.

Surprisingly I am able to compile and run the app, but how to get rid of this error?

I am using:

  • Android Studio 3.5.3
  • Android SDK Tools 29.0.2
  • Android SDK Platform Android 10.0 (Q) Android SDK Platform 29
  • Default OpenJDK Platform binary

to reproduce the error:

  • Create new Android project with empty activity
  • replace the layout with the following layout:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>    <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

I was facing the same problem. The reason is, that the new versions of Material Components are bundled with this bug. So, I tried replacing the version in the Gradle build script with the version that supports Path.op().

So, the only thing you have to do is replace the dependency in your Gradle build script with this one:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha02'
