                             .setTheme(R.style.AppTheme)
                            .setAvailableProviders(providers)

Answer 1

Use app:srcCompat="@drawable/wincoin" instead of android:src="@drawable/wincoin" in your ImageView layout in all Layout files.

Answer 2

I had same problem my app would crash on older versions of android. and was getting android.view.Inflateexception, after some searches found that my drawable had only v24 files, and was not supporting older API versions, I solved it by creating new drawable resource file with the same file name that of the v24 files, Android studio automatically create a folder and move both files to that folder. Next step just copy data from v24 files and paste it in the file without v24 files. Thats it.
