Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

I would like use a FloatingActionButton on my application, I read this : https://guides.codepath.com/android/Floating-Action-Buttons#google-s-official-support-library but when I run the Activity I have this error :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.xavier_laffargue.podcast/com.xavier_laffargue.podcast.ACT_Test}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

XML File

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
    android:id="@+id/main_content"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/lvToDoList"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"></ListView>

    <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
        android:layout_margin="24dp"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_action_refresh"
        app:layout_anchor="@id/lvToDoList"
        app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end" />

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Graddle

*apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xavier_laffargue.podcast"

        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0'

For those using AndroidX Dependency

Along with changing dependencies, XML must also be changed.

from

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

to

<androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout

For those using AndroidX Dependency. In your xml files make sure all your 

 android.support.???

nodes inside CoordinatorLayout's (like included ActionBars) are also replaced with

androidx.??? (or com.google.android.???)

ones .

You need to add in your app's build gradle the following support library. 

    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'

that was last year, now the latest version is

    compile 'com.android.support:design:27.0.2'

For me, I came across this error when using a mix of androidx and android.support.v7 libraries.

See my solution for that version of this error here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52490825/1762493

Add these dependencies into your gradle file. This may solve the problem in some cases.

dependencies {
   compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
   compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
   ...
}

For Xamarin Developers:

(supports Android API 7 to 22+)

  1. Make sure you have installed following components:
    • Android Support Design Library
    • Android Support Library v7 AppCompat
  2. Make sure all NuGet packages for these components are installed and referenced. These are:
    • Xamarin.Android.Support.Design
    • Xamarin.Android.Support.v4
    • Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.AppCompat
    • Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.RecyclerView
  3. Your Apps Activity should derive from Android.Support.V7.App.AppCompatActivity

  4. Your used style has to be derived from a Theme.AppCompat.* style. So your Resources\values\styles.xml should look like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="YourAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#AB000D</item>
        <item name="colorPrimary">#E53935</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">#00B8D4</item>
    </style>
    <!-- other styles... -->
</resources>

  5. Also make sure you actually use the theme in your AndroidManifest.xml

    <application android:theme="@style/YourAppTheme"></application>

You have to include the support libraries.

  1. Go to "Project Structure" -> Dependencies
  2. On the right side click "+" and select "1. Library dependency"
  3. Search for "android.support"
  4. Add both:
    • com.android.support:appcompat-v7:.......
    • com.android.support:design:........
  5. Sync Gradle enter image description here Happy codding! :)

Just use this line in FloatingActionButton (app instead of android):

app:backgroundTint="@color/colorAccent"

needed both:

  • extend AppCompatActivity instead of FragmentActivity

    public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity

  • parent of used style (/res/values/styles.xml)

    <style name="MyStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat">

additionally:

  • define colors in styles.xml

    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>

I had the same error. Just change the project parent theme to 

<style name="Base.AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">

or any other Theme.AppCompat*

Please change it into AppCompatActivity if you use Activity. Probably it becomes the error when it is Activity.
