Error inflating class androidx.constraintlayout.ConstraintLayout after migration to androidx

Question

I just made a migration to androidx through Android Studio menu option Refactor -> Refactor to AndroidX

I\'m getting the following

Answer 1

After clicking on Refactor -> Migrate to AndroidX , Make sure your all dependencies in the build.gradle(Module:app) is marked to the newest version.

If its not, dependency will appear in yellow highlighted color and you can change it by hovering the mouse over it.

Secondly, Change the ConstraintLayout tag in all XML layout files to

androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout

For more safer option, clean your project and sync it again after the above steps.
