java.lang.StackOverFlow error. Suspected too many views?

When you get an error like the one below (Android 1.5), is it because there are too many nested ViewGroups, or because the total number of Views is too great? Are there any tricks to get around it while still keeping the same look to your app?

For Xamarin Forms in our case using ListViews didn't resolve the issue, the exception kept raising on a carousel we have, and we can't call the draw method from another thread because some graphics painted with NControl we need doesn't allow us to do that (OpenGL related I guess). So in the end just catching the exception in our carousel custom renderer and calling Invalidate() on it resolved the problem.

In my case and in XamarinForms, I solved this error by adding CachingStrategy="RecycleElement" to my ListView and also removing extra layouts.
Android users should use RecyclerView or other view recycling methods.

in my case I resolved by in

onCreateView

        rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_interest_list, container);
        return rootView;

by adding attachToRoot parameter

         rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_interest_list,container,false);
         return rootView;

In my case that was ListView inside a ScrollView and when I try to Scroll it to the bottom. It produces stackoverflow error.

So, avoid to have ListView inside ScrollView.

Or we can use different approach to implement ListView.

In my case it was caused by nested layouts (complex list itens) in a list inside a fragment view pager inside another fragment, using v4 support and HoloEverywhere v1.4 libraries.

I had to remove nested fragments and build it in a different way.

In my case,

Customized list view has Relative Layout, then it released Stackoverflowerror.

If your listview has relative layout, then erase it :D

You have (way) too many nested layouts. You can check out the official Android blog at d.android.com to get tips and tricks on how to optimize layouts.
