Answer 1

Your crash is caused by the following:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to dimension: type=0x1 at android.content.res.TypedArray.getDimensionPixelSize

So the problem is in one of your dimensions:

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

I can guess, that you used wrong dimension type, e.g. sp instead of dp

Here is how a right dimension should look:

<dimen name="activity_vertical_margin">36dp</dimen>

Also please ensure your dimension is defined in an xml in the valuesfolder as it mentioned in this answer
