InflateException upon using PagerSlidingTabStrip

Question

I tried using the following library for sliding tabs: https://github.com/astuetz/PagerSlidingTabStrip

I have installed the solution, extracted it, imported library in my Eclipse, built library project, taken library.jar files and add it as a library in my project.

Library project structure is as the following:

library --> src --> com.astuetz --> PagerSlidingTabStrip.java

Then i have added that code to my fragment XML file:

<com.astuetz.PagerSlidingTabStrip
	        android:id="@+id/tabs"
	        android:layout_width="match_parent"
	        android:layout_height="48dip"
	        android:background="@drawable/ic_calendar" />
        
        <ViewPager
            android:id="@+id/viewPager"
		    android:layout_width="match_parent"
		    android:layout_height="match_parent"
		    android:layout_below="@+id/tabs">

        
        </ViewPager>

When i'm trying to run, i got the following error:

Any help ?

Answer 1

You can post the complete error? I always use ViewPager out of PagerSlidingTabStrip, have you ever tried it?

UPDATE

Try like this:

<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="vertical"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.astuetz.PagerSlidingTabStrip
        android:id="@+id/tabs"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="48dip" />

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewPager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/tabs">
</android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

Works for me, but i'm using android support v7 and "Android Studio IDE".
