Android 4.0.1 - XML Rendering Error in EditText. Index:0, Size: 0 - Vew draw failed

Question

I am having an issue while adding the EditText in my Activity's XML. It's not visible correctly and when I run App it's there but by clicking on it the keyboard does not show I am unable to add any input there. First, I thought I was having this issue only in this Activity but when I tried to add EditText in any other Activity of the project this same thing is happening, but the EditText's that have been added before I have updated to the new version of Android studio 4.0.1 is working fine in XML and also when I run the app - keyboards show up and I can add input, using compileSdkVersion 29 minSdkVersion 18 targetSdkVersion 29 this is my XML. for edit text in this Activity.

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:background="@drawable/square_border">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/idOrderSummaryPostcode"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:hint="Enter Postcode"
        android:padding="5dp"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/idOrderSummaryPostcodeAddNew"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:text="+ New"
        android:textAllCaps="false"
        android:textSize="15sp"
        android:background="@drawable/border_style_round_light_gray_solid"/>

</LinearLayout>

here's my Activity in Manifest

<activity
        android:name=".view.Order.Checkout"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" />

I have initialized it in the onCreate like this

private EditText postcode;

postcode = findViewById(R.id.idOrderSummaryPostcode);

I am getting this error in my XML Design window.

index: 0, size:0
view draw detail(Details)

when I click the (Details) here are the details of this error.
