android.view.InflateException: Error inflating class android.support.v7.widget.CardView

I know this question is asked a few times, but they all are related to eclipse and I am using Android Studio and thus those answers didn't help me. I am trying to include CardView in one of my fragments for a recycler view item. The XML code below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:padding="8dp" >

    <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
        card_view:cardElevation="4dp"
        android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:id="@+id/cv" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="16dp" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/title"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textSize="18sp"
                android:textStyle="bold"
                android:textColor="@color/mainBodyText"
                android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
                android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/text"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_below="@+id/title"
                android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
                android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
                android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                android:textColor="@color/mainBodyText"
                android:textSize="16sp"
                android:textStyle="italic"/>

        </RelativeLayout>

    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

</LinearLayout>

And the build.gradle file of module app below:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.myapp.myapp"
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        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-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.1'
}

And on running I get the following exception:

08-02 14:37:07.693  10102-10102/com.myapp.myapp E/AndroidRuntime﹕ FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.myapp.myapp, PID: 10102

I solved this after days of effort. It was pretty simple solution anyway. The point here is, when inflating the view I needed to use the view's parent's context. Earlier I was using the application's context. The new code looks like this:

@Override
public SearchItemViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    return new SearchItemViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.search_item, parent, false));
}

Earlier it was:

@Override
public SearchItemViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    return new SearchItemViewHolder(LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.search_item, parent, false));
}

Where the context was passed from the activity and it was obtained using getApplicationContext().
