After solving a JDK zero value error, now I\'m facing this one. I did a little research, but it seems I can\'t get to the point. Here is the log error:

Answer 1

Ok, i just solved my problem, the problem was my gradle outdated and my sdk , so if anyone is running with this problem just do this steps

1.- Make sure your libs are updated as piotrek1543 says above 2.- Update your sdk if is necesary 3.- Update your gradle files (VERY IMPORTANT) just go to the project gradle and add this

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'

then go to your app project > app > graddle > graddlewrapper.properties and add

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

4.- change your compile compileSdkVersion to 24 and your buildToolsVersion "24.0.2" (MAKE SURE YOUR DEPENDENCES ARE UP TO DATE WITH THE SDK)

Have fun

If you are using ?attr inside your drawable, this could be the reason of error.

consider replacing it with Vector Drawable so it can be used in all android versions:

Replace

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="?attr/navigationIconColor" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

With:

<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="37dp"
    android:height="5dp"
    android:viewportWidth="37"
    android:viewportHeight="5">
  <path
      android:pathData="M2.5,0h32C35.9,0 37,1.1 37,2.5l0,0C37,3.9 35.9,5 34.5,5h-32C1.1,5 0,3.9 0,2.5l0,0C0,1.1 1.1,0 2.5,0z"
      android:fillColor="?attr/navigationIconColor"/>
</vector>

Answer 3

use like this in your Activity:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    static {
        AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
     }
  ...
}

and this in your build.gradle :

android {
    ...

     defaultConfig {
         ....
         vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }

}

and in your xml:

app:srcCompat="@drawable/your_icon"

Answer 4

Changing the kotlin-stdlib dependency from:

implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:1.2.0" to

implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.2.0" fixed the error.

Answer 5

If any of the other solutions does not work, you can add this line in your Activity

static {
    AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}

and of course, update your gradle and appcompat to the latest versions. This worked in my case.

Answer 6

in my case the XML contained android:endX that supports from 24 and up.
