Binary XML file line #: Error inflating error for Spinner : Only on Android (6.0)-Marshmallow

Question

     ArrayAdapter < String > dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter < String >
      (this, R.layout.spinner_list_item, list0);

     if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {

      dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
     } else {
      dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_custom);
     }

     mSpinner0.setAdapter(dataAdapter);

I also tried above code but no results..

I am using custom xml adpter.setDropDownViewResource() method like dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource (R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_custom); There is total 3 spinner in my Layout. It's working fine with other 2 Spinner But fist spinner click gives me this error in Android 6.0. It's working fine in Android L (API-22) Please help. Thanks in advance.

<CheckedTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
style="?android:attr/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:textColor="@color/normal_color"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:padding="10dp"
android:background="@color/white"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Answer 1

I had the same issue. It happens if you add a theme to your drop down item. You should apply a theme only to your spinner. In your case, you have added a style to the TextView. You have not posted what that style contains, but if it has a theme such as

android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"

you need to remove it.
