Error inflating class android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView

I'm developing a simple example for Vector Drawable. I used the backward compatible library com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.1 for pre-Lollipop device support.

The views used in the layout are:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="com.nm.vectordrawableexample.VectorActivity">

    <ImageView android:id="@+id/ic_logo"
        android:layout_width="150dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_light_bulb" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="Tap on icon to change tint color" />

    <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView
        android:id="@+id/ic_android"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginBottom="30dp" />

    <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
        android:drawableLeft="@drawable/ic_flight_takeoff"
        android:gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="TextView with Vector Drawable" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:text="Radio button with vector drawable icons" />

    <RadioGroup
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:showDividers="middle"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:gravity="center">

        <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatRadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioBtn"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/radio_selector"
            android:button="@android:color/transparent" />

        <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatRadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioBtn2"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/radio_selector"
            android:button="@android:color/transparent" />

        <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatRadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioBtn3"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/radio_selector"
            android:button="@android:color/transparent" />

        <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatRadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioBtn4"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/radio_selector"
            android:button="@android:color/transparent" />

        <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatRadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioBtn5"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/radio_selector"
            android:button="@android:color/transparent" />

    </RadioGroup>

</LinearLayout>

Here is the code snippet for the activity on which a click on the ImageView changes the color of the image used in the ImageView:

public class VectorActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    static {
        AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_vector);
        final AppCompatImageView icAndroid= (AppCompatImageView) findViewById(R.id.ic_android);
        icAndroid.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_android);
        icAndroid.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Random random=new Random();
                int color= Color.argb(255,random.nextInt(256),random.nextInt(256),random.nextInt(256));
                icAndroid.setColorFilter(color);
            }
        });
    }
}

Here is the style file content description:

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

</resources>

Now the question while executing the example on a device with Android 5.0+ (device description given below)

  • ASUS Zenfone Max (Android Version 6.0).

  • GenyMotion Emulator (Samsung Galaxy S7 Android Version 6.0 API 23)

The example executes successfully and shows the result also. But while executing the same example on this device:

  • GenyMotion Emulator HTC One 4.4.4 API 19 (480dpi)

It shows a Runtime Exception and the application stopped.

What section in the code went wrong? What changes are required to run the example successfully?
