InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class ImageView

I know there are other questions on SO asking the same thing. I have already looked at most of them.

Most answers call about memory errors. I can't see how an ImageView which loads just a small icon (24x24 pixels) can make something like this.

But I'd like to post the stacktrace here maybe someone else can identify something I can't and help me.

Layout file

</LinearLayout>

EDIT 2 : the code of my Adapter class.

public class PollAnswersAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<PollAnswerItem> {

    private Context context;
    private ArrayList<PollAnswerItem> data;


    public PollAnswersAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<PollAnswerItem> data) {
        super(context, -1, data);
        this.context = context;
        this.data = data;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_answer, parent, false);

        ImageView ivCircle = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.iv_answer_circle);
        TextView tvAnswer = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer);
        TextView tvNums = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer_num);
        TextView tvPercent = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer_percent);

        tvAnswer.setText(data.get(position).getAnswer());
        tvNums.setText(data.get(position).getNum());
        tvPercent.setText(data.get(position).getPercent() + "%");
        tvPercent.setTextColor(ColorTemplate.PREDEFINED_COLORS[position]);

        return rowView;
    }

}

The stack trace doesn't show it, but the error during inflation might come from drawable used in the ImageView, in this case:

android:src="@drawable/ic_dot"

OP tested this hunch, by trying a different drawable which "seems ok right now...".

binary xml file line #0: error inflating class imageview

you have to see if your image has become drawable-v23 or v24 which might be higher than your mobile os level, Make sure to avoid creating drawable version image in project

example In drawable folder ~> "ic_contact(v24)"

If you are using vector drawables, use

app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_dot"

instead of

android:src="@drawable/ic_dot"

I had the same problem. The png image for my imageView was causing a class inflateException. This was only happening with my phone running android 6.0.1, but not in my phone running android 7.0. To solve this:

---In Android Studio---

Deleted the png image from the drawable folder (I only have the drawable folder visible, not the drawable-v24).
Copy the png back to the drawable folder. When doing this, you'll be able to pick to copy it to either the drawable or drawable-v24 folder. Copy the png to both folders
Copy the png to both folders (png's must have same name).
Once you copy the png to both folders, a new folder with the png's name will show up. Inside it you will see the 2 png's. One with "(v24)" next to it. New folder with name of png's will appear, containing png's

In my case I had app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_svg_image" inside ImageView, but it was very complex SVG. Though it showed in Design tab, an application crashed.

I changed it to PNG.

Don't paste your image into drawable in Android studio, paste it into the drawable folder and clean the project and then run it will work.

I also face this kind of problem . the simplest way to solve

Just Put your drawable files in drawable directory, not drawable 24.

The following code might be added in Android Manifests-Activity

<activity
android:name=""
--------------
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar">
</activity>

please remove this theme if you have added.

My problem has been solved after removing this theme. I got these solution after long time.

using android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView without android:background solved the problem for me.
