2,822 PointsThanks you. I restarted the entire "Build an Interactive Story App" chapter but it still appears that a rendering problem occurred. android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache) - android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache) - android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache) - android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache) Tip: Use View.isInEditMode() in your custom views to skip code or show sample data when shown in the IDE Exception Details java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class android.support.design.widget.ThemeUtils at android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout.<init>(AppBarLayout.java:145) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:526) at android.view.LayoutInflater.createViewFromTag(LayoutInflater.java:704) at android.view.LayoutInflater.rInflate_Original(LayoutInflater.java:835) at android.view.LayoutInflater_Delegate.rInflate(LayoutInflater_Delegate.java:70) at android.view.LayoutInflater.rInflate(LayoutInflater.java:811) at android.view.LayoutInflater.rInflateChildren(LayoutInflater.java:798) at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:515) at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:394) Copy stack to clipboard Failed to find style 'textViewStyle' in current theme (14 similar errors not shown)
also i found this error: 01-20 19:32:22.421 7960-7966/? E/art: Failed sending reply to debugger: Broken pipe
and as a note: One or more layouts are missing the layout_width or layout_height attributes. These are required in most layouts.
I'm not sure if any more information is required to get help but please let me know. Or should i just uninstall the Android virtual device manager and download it again?
Enrique Hernández
2,822 PointsHey it's me again, i still have problems to run the app after i installed it, it's like the configuration stayed the same even though supposedly i uninstalled all files. I can follow the videos but can't see my work reflected in the emulator and also every time i try to run it on the emulator, it says the app stopped. I can't find anything marked as error in my code but in the Android Monitor, this appears:
01-21 22:03:52.611 2249-2249/com.example.enrrique.interactivestory E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.example.enrrique.interactivestory, PID: 2249
Thank you for your time and let me know if these messages are annoying or something so i will proceed to post it in the forum and not as comments to you.

2,822 PointsCould it be that im running an api 23 on an nexus 5 emulator and it doesn't recognize it? If i used a more recent phone emulator, would it run without problems?

5,921 PointsYeah I have had this problem. Do a complete uninstall and reinstall everything. You could open your existing project and it should load correctly
