After Updating Android studio to 3.1.2 , I get “Failed to load AppCompat ActionBar with unknown error. ”

Question

I tried looking other similar questions on stackoverflow, they advice us to changw version of \"buildToolsVersion\" but I dont see word like that in my gradle file.

Answer 1

module app gradle file looks like this...In your file you are missing buildToolsVersion, adding this may help you

  apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

 android {
  //changes
  compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
 defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.dhruv.testhello"
   minSdkVersion 24
    targetSdkVersion 26
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner 
 "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
 }
 buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 
  'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
    }
 }

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

//changes
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso- 
core:3.0.2'
 }
