Error inflating class ImageView

Question

I\'ve been getting InflateException/ClassNotFoundException error intermittently. I\'ve seen similar errors before in SO but they were caused by spelling errors. I spelled \'

Answer 1

For me, inside one of my layout.xml files, I had

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/row_1_col_0"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@string/default_picture_location">
</ImageView>

and inside strings.xml, I had

<string name="default_picture_location">"@mipmap/tile"</string>

and so it was showing this in Android Studio:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/row_1_col_0"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@mipmap/tile">
</ImageView>

I thought everything would work because there were no errors and the application compiled and ran. However, there was a run time error that said "android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #7:Error inflating class ImageView".

Once I changed android:background from

android:background="@string/default_picture_location"

to

android:background="@mipmap/tile"

everything worked.

Answer 2

For me it works when I paste image in both drawable and drawable-v24 and I added some code android:src="@drawable/battman"

Answer 3

try to change

v = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.event_show_row_layout, null);

to

v = View.inflate(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.event_show_row_layout, null);

Answer 4

Putting image in drawable NOT as "v-24" worked for me and I stopped get the crash.

Answer 5

you haven't closed LinearLayout tag

and please use following code for inflating layout.xml

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
final View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout_id, null);

Answer 6

I have the resources in the drawable-zh-xxhdpi catalog documents, but not in the drawable-xxhdpi catalog of resources, the emergence of this mistake.

This should be：

res
  drawable-xxhdpi
     aa.png
  drawable-zh-xxhdpi
     aa.png
