I used appcompat-v7 and design libraries with v24.1.1 and the project works as expected without any problem or bug. But when I update these two libraries to v24.2.0, some bugs appears.
1. The first bug with the appcompat-v7 library, after I update this library, the Toolbar and FAB goes away in the design screen. Also, when I run the project, my Android app stops (Force Close) after launching the app immediately. The Log:
