android view InflateException: Binary XML file line #11 with runtime error

I'd like to anticipate my apologies for proposing again this subject, but I tried to follow any other Q/A I found, and no one worked for me.

Also, I just started programming for Android, so please bear with my ignorance.

Since I'm studying Fragments, I'm trying to find some good examples on the web that can clearly explain this subject.
This is the web resource I followed for my first exercise

Fragment Example

After reading and copying the code in files, I payed attention in changing the package name, but after I ran the application, here is the LogCat I received:

A couple more:

I ensured I loaded the android-support-v4.jar lib, and I didn't modify the AndroidManifest.xml in any way.

Thanks for any help you'll like to provide, and for your patience.

Very late to the party but this may help somebody with the same issue.

In my res folder my ic_launcher_forground.xml had been moved into the drawable_v24 so obviously was ok on the emulator but crashed on the Nexus as it's sdk version 23.

I just moved the file back into the drawable and it worked again.

If you still haven't figure out the problem, try use android:name="it.coppola.fragmentexample.TextFragment" instead of class="it.coppola.fragmentexample.ToolbarFragment" in your activity_fragment_example.xml file.

It works for me.

There's a typo in your toolbar fragment layout XML:

android.id="@+id/button1"

Change to android:id:

android:id="@+id/button1"

This causes the findViewById() to return null and attempting to invoke setOnClickListener() on a null causes the NPE on line 51.
