I created a new activity, without any custom code, to verify if it's really not working. However, I get the same error.

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">


    <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:id="@+id/navigationView"/>
        <!--app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_student_data_header"-->

I got the same error about two hours back. I just updated from Activity to AppCompatActivity and updated the styles to support styles. And the error got resolved.

Update MainActivity class (Or whichever is the activity in which you're inflating the Navigation Menu) from

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

to

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

And update the styles.xml files (Both normal and v21) to

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

Hope that helps!
