The new RecyclerView does not yet work in Studio. We are working on a fix.

Working through the Android course I get Android Studio throwing an exception when I try to edit an activity xml file. Checked out the issue number and it appears to be a common problem that is awaiting a solution from Google. Any advice on how to proceed?

Maybe you should update your Android Studio? What version are you using?

you can also try to add this to dependencies:

compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.+'

Thanks for your answer George. I am using version 1.1.0 which I believe is the latest. I have also included the suggested line in the build.gradle file also to no effect. The issue seems to be a known bug in this version of Android Studio so I guess I will just have to await a solution from Google...
