I checked a few answers but cant see anyone facing issue with textview.

I am attaching to calligraphy as follows in my activity

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
  super.attachBaseContext(CalligraphyContextWrapper.wrap(newBase));
}

The theme of the activity is as follows

    <style name="AppTheme.Compat.ActionBar.Dark.NoBackground" parent="AppTheme.Compat.ActionBar.Dark">
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@null</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/alert_title</item>
        <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/gray400</item>
        <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/alert_button</item>
    </style>

I noticed studio giving warning for android:colorAccent and replace with "colorAccent" that removed the warning but the crash remained . Any clues what am I doing wrong here ??

Finally figured out the problem , Since the issue was happening in Textview as per the crash logs

Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #13: Error inflating class TextView

TLDR : dont use setbackground for TextView its bug prone (samsung), espcially if its Vector drawable.

I verified by removing the textview the crash stopped happening.The issue was i used to set background image for my textview and it was a SVG image and i have been appCompact library(v23). Setting vector drawable is only supported via "app:srcCompat" or "setImageResource()" as the foolproof way to use vector drawable.

I read the this blog post to see https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2016/02/android-support-library-232.html I see previous supported Textview has now been striked out , which means its not stable and bug prone.

I removed the Vector drawable from textview and added a another Imageview just below textview with the vector drawable using "src:compact", so that visually they still look same i.e a Text view with background.

If app size isnt a issue you can also use a png /jpg resource and avoid the creation of extra imageview in your layout.
