ConstraintLayout 1.0.2 shows nothing

Question

I'm still having this weird problem. ConstraintLayout only works when it's on 'alpha-7', when I change it to '1.0.2' the latest version it shows nothing

Desired layout should look like this:

However, I'm getting this: "on a real HTC one M9 - CM 12.1.1"

** 'Show layout bounds' is On just so you can see that there are nothing on drawn on the device.

** I also tried with 'Show layout update' and it shows nothing as well

In the Layout Inspector the Username field, Password field and Login Button and showing:

build.gradle

repositories {
    jcenter();
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
}

Things I tried:

• Invalidating and restarting Android studio.

• Tried on an emulator.

• Tried on a Huawei Device.

• Tried on an HTC one M9 Device.

• Rolling back to 'Alpha-7' works fine.

Please if you need any more details let me know in the comment

Answer 1

After a year of waiting for a real explanation of what is going on and what happened after 'Alpha-7', I "Kindaaa~"figured it out.

The Short Answer

Activities with ConstraintLayout will do fine. however if you are adding a fragment on top, then make sure to make the activity background transparent.
