Error inflating class ImageView

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 'ImageView' correctly so I don't know what's causing the error.

The code where the error occurs is:

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

Here's the layout xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I myself had this problem because my image was in darawable-v24 directory. so when I wanted to use older api, the app was crashing. so I suggest to check whether you're resource is in correct directory or not.

In my case it was SVG image with long paths. It showed error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: R is not a valid verb. Failure occurred at position 2 of path: STRING_TOO_LARGE

Looking at long SVG Asset file error : R is not a valid verb. Failure occurred at position 2 of path: STRING_TOO_LARGE I splitted paths into several below 32Kb.

In my case the svg had letters that have gaps and then this caused the bug, what I did was modify the letters in illustrator removing the gaps and it worked.

I had the same issue, because I copied my png files to drawables while on Android view, and it automatically copied to drawable-v24, but you need to copy your files to drawable, you can navigate to your project and then res/drawables and paste it manually, or change your view to project view the past it in the drawable folder

I had the same problem. my problem has occurred because I just had used images (icons) in the "drawable-v24" folder. I solved it by copying them into "drawable" folder

It's an old question but I just came across the same problem. In my case it was caused by using the android:tint attribute with an selector rather than a color:

<ImageView
    ...
    android:tint="@drawable/some_selector" />

While this works without a problem a SDK 21+ it crashes in older versions...

Switching to AppCompatImageView and to app:tint solved the problem:

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView
    ...
    app:tint="@drawable/some_selector" />

In my case I had the same error, but only when using a device with API < 24 (emulator or physical device).

This was caused by the use of "gradient" inside a SVG I imported.

The error do not appear in the stacktrace, but it appears in the .xml of the imported SVG file:

enter image description here

This causes the app to crash when inflating a View that has this SVG as its source, for APIs < 24.

If you want to use SVG only, you can restrict the use of this resource to APIs >= 24 and remove the gradient for APIs below.

I came across this same problem recently and was able to solve it using app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_black_image_24"

The documentation of appcompat:srcCompatstates that -

It sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView. Allows the use of vector drawable when running on older versions of the platform.

Hope this helps if anyone stumbles upon the same problem.

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

The error during inflation might come from drawable used in the ImageView, in this case:

android:background="@drawable/timeline_image_border"
android:src="@drawable/timeline_image_dummy"

To get rid of it, replace all the existing images trying a different drawable.

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.

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);
