Error while loading custom Android View: Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f060007 type #0x12 is not valid

Question

I have this XML file called player_small.xml in the res/layout folder of my project:

<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/player_small"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:rowCount="3"
        android:columnCount="4">

<ImageButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/player_small_play"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_rowSpan="2"
        android:layout_column="0"
        android:src="@drawable/play"/>

<ImageButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/next"
        android:id="@+id/player_small_next"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_rowSpan="2"
        android:layout_column="1"/>

<TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Title"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="@dimen/defaultFontSize"
        android:id="@+id/player_small_title"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|left|right"
        android:layout_row="0"
        android:layout_column="3"/>

<Space
        android:layout_width="30px"
        android:layout_height="10px"
        android:layout_row="2"
        android:layout_column="2"/>

<TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Artist"
        android:textSize="@dimen/defaultFontSize"
        android:id="@+id/player_small_artist"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|left|right"
        android:layout_row="1"
        android:layout_column="3"/>
</GridLayout>

Then, I have defined a custom view called SmallPlayerView containing all 3 constructors from the superclass FrameLayout all calling this method:

protected void initSmallPlayerView ()
{
    View view = inflate(getContext(), R.id.player_small, null);
    addView(view);
}

InteliJ IDEA can display the class correct when using it from another XML-Layout-file, but when I launch it on my phone or the emulator it crashes with this exception:

I have opened the R.class file and looked into it, and all resources are present. How can I solve this Exception?

Answer 1

you have to change your code to this :

{
    View view = inflate(getContext(), R.layout.player_small, null);
    addView(view);
}

you can inflate views with layout attribute not id
