Android Studio Constraint Layout Error

Lurker
I am getting such an error while compiling the application.
When I make a LinearLayout, the error disappears, but when I use a ConstraitLayout, the error appears.

Java Class


public Uri getLocalBitmapUri() {
LinearLayout linearLayout = findViewById(R.id.parent); /*Your root view to be part of screenshot*/
linearLayout.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap bmp = linearLayout.getDrawingCache();
// Store image to default external storage directory
Uri bmpUri = null;
File file;
try {
File dir = new File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).getPath() + "/" + getString(R.string.app_name) + "/");
dir.mkdirs();
String fileName = "/" + System.currentTimeMillis() + "share_image.png";

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
file = new File(dir, fileName);
} else {
file = new File(getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES), "share_image_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".png");
}

FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, out);
out.close();
bmpUri = Uri.fromFile(file);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bmpUri;
}

I get this error when I try to convert LinearLayout ConstraintLayout.
I changed the Java Class to ConstraintLayout, still getting the same error
