InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class ImageView

Question

I know there are other questions on SO asking the same thing. I have already looked at most of them.

Most answers call about memory errors. I can't see how an ImageView which loads just a small icon (24x24 pixels) can make something like this.

But I'd like to post the stacktrace here maybe someone else can identify something I can't and help me.

Layout file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:weightSum="11" android:paddingTop="16dp" android:paddingBottom="16dp" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">  <ImageView     android:id="@+id/iv_answer_circle"     android:src="@drawable/ic_dot"     android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_weight="2"     android:layout_marginLeft="16dp" android:layout_marginRight="16dp"     android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_poll_answer"     android:layout_weight="6"     android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_poll_answer_num"     android:layout_weight="1"     android:layout_marginLeft="16dp" android:layout_marginRight="8dp"     android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_poll_answer_percent"     android:layout_weight="2"     android:layout_marginRight="16dp"     android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  </LinearLayout> 

EDIT 2 : the code of my Adapter class.

public class PollAnswersAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<PollAnswerItem> {      private Context context;     private ArrayList<PollAnswerItem> data;       public PollAnswersAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<PollAnswerItem> data) {         super(context, -1, data);         this.context = context;         this.data = data;     }      @Override     public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {         LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);          View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_answer, parent, false);          ImageView ivCircle = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.iv_answer_circle);         TextView tvAnswer = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer);         TextView tvNums = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer_num);         TextView tvPercent = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer_percent);          tvAnswer.setText(data.get(position).getAnswer());         tvNums.setText(data.get(position).getNum());         tvPercent.setText(data.get(position).getPercent() + "%");         tvPercent.setTextColor(ColorTemplate.PREDEFINED_COLORS[position]);          return rowView;     }  } 

Answer 1

The stack trace doesn't show it, but the error during inflation might come from drawable used in the ImageView, in this case:

android:src="@drawable/ic_dot" 

OP tested this hunch, by trying a different drawable which "seems ok right now...".

Answer 2

binary xml file line #0: error inflating class imageview

you have to see if your image has become drawable-v23 or v24 which might be higher than your mobile os level, Make sure to avoid creating drawable version image in project

example In drawable folder ~> "ic_contact(v24)"
