I found the answer, but I’m not sure this is the best answer. But this fix all the issue.
The error could be because of a bug in the API 28.0.0-alpha3 which may mess around with the backward compatibility (I’m not completely sure about it yet).
build.gradle(Module: app) (before fix)–>
compileSdkVersion 28
targetSdkVersion 28
implementation ‘com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3’
I fixed the error by reducing the API version to 27.1.1 and changing the compileSdkVersion, targetSdkVersion and implementation.
build.gradle(Module: app)(after fixing error) –>
To fix the error just change
compileSdkVersion 27
targetSdkVersion 27
implementation ‘com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1’
And Re-build the Gradle. This will clear all the error and warning about the ActionBar and toolbar.
