It’s a pretty rare issue with a minor fix that I couldn’t find solutions to elsewhere and spent a day debugging. So here’s what could possibly work for you:

  1. Go to themes.xml.
  2. Find any theme style you use which has a parent DayNight.NoActionBar.
<style name="Theme.Name" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">

3. Change the parent to Light.NoActionBar.

<style name="Theme.Name" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

Viola!
