Error inflating class com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView

Question

I'm trying to use the fresco library. I used it before too and it was working, but now, for some reason I get:

Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.home.template/com.example.home.template.MainActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #26: Error inflating class com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView

My xml file:

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


<com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView
        android:id="@+id/profileImage"
        fresco:actualImageScaleType="centerCrop"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_height="200dp" />
</LinearLayout>

MyApplication:

public class MyApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(this);
    }
}

I have it in my manifest: android:name=".MyApplication"

The only problem that I'm having is with the draweeview. I can do all of the other stuff such as logging in and taking information.

Answer 1

In my case writing Fresco.initialize(this); before setContentView(R.layout.myxml); helped me.

Update:

you have FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(this); instead of Fresco.initialize(this) in your myapplication

Answer 2

I was getting this problem in API 19 devices just because I was using drawable vector as placeholder here

fresco:placeholderImage="@drawable/ic_phone"

After changing to PNG my problem was solved.

Dont forget to initialize it in your App as

class App : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Fresco.initialize(this)
    }
}

as well as this line in manifest's application

android:name=".App"

Answer 3

Today I had the same problem. However, I forgot to add the property android:name=".MyApplication" in the AndroidManifest.xml.
