Sorry that this might not be the answer you're looking for, but this happened to me too just a few minutes ago. I was alerted by Android Studio that there was a newer version of "com.google.android.gms" and "com.android.support" available in my Gradle file - at the time, I was using 8.3.0 for the former and 23.1.1 for the latter, so I updated to 8.4.0 and 23.2.0 and that's when I got the same problem as you, and Android Studio jumped to the values-v11.xml file in the library for AFollestad's Material Dialogs, and it seems that is causing problems because it uses the AppCompat library.

EDIT: Just found this, if you are using material-dialogs check if you're on version 0.8.5.5. If not, upgrade to it.
