I am also new to Android and encountered the same error today. I could not find a solution that worked for me but one thing was clear to me that this issue occurs when android is not able to resolve a mandatory attribute of one of the elements in layout xml.

So I checked my layout thoroughly and found that by mistake I created an ID

<item type="id" name="login"/>

in ids.xml. This Id was conflicting with attribute

android:imeActionId="@+id/login"

of EditText element.

Hope this helps someone.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.example.fragmentexample.ToolbarFragment" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.example.myfragmentexample-1.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app-lib/com.example.myfragmentexample-1, /system/lib]]

This

android:name="com.example.fragmentexample.ToolbarFragment"

Must be

android:name="com.example.myfragmentexample.ToolbarFragment"

cause package name for ToolbarFragment.java is

package com.example.myfragmentexample;

Similarly for TextFragment

android:name="com.example.myfragmentexample.TextFragment"

In my case Google Maps were not correctly initialized. A message in log console printed about it. I had to add

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />

to <application> inside AndroidManifest.

Try adding correct layouts at correct place like ex. in my case I was putting colors.xml in values-w820p then it was giving runtime exception of classtype. I changed the folder from this to simple value and... taffffda!! it worked! :)
