I followed a tutorial of new component NavigationView in Support Design Library and can't get through this error message :

Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView

I tried every workaround here

Error when using any Android Design Support Library Elements

but error message still exists.

StackTrace (only part of them)

It thrown out three exceptions as below : all points out that the problems is caused by the line of "setContentView(layout)" at in layout.xml.

Can you also post the xml @layout/drawer_header and xml @menu/drawer?Hygienist
Also, please post the entire stack trace.Thomey
Well, it can't find one of your resources. I do not know which, though.Thomey
I faced this because I refactored some code. Basically I refactored a variable called parent to parentFragment to be more accurate and android studio made the change in styles.xml too. Had to fix the style back to parent=“<whatever-base-class>” and it worked again.Saulsauls

Actually it is not the matter of the primarycolortext, upgrading or downgrading the dependencies.This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn't match.

Example of matching condition

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1' // appcompat library
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'       //design support library

Can you explain me how to detect this problem for a newbie like me plz :)Heaveho
If you always declare a variable for things like this in your app/build.gradle you prevent yourself from forgetting to change, as in: def supportVersion = '25.1.0' compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$supportVersion" compile "com.android.support:design:$supportVersion"Lame
both the libraries uses by me are same but still getting same error. Check below code compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'Escolar
I should use support of version 26. I'm using 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'. Is 26.1.0 correct?Yellowlegs
Error faced on Gradle 4.1 with compileSdkVersion 25 buildToolsVersion '26.0.2' and compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.0' Solved making below changes compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.0.0'Scatter
if you have only dimen.xml(v21), your app will crash on android version 4 & less. Create another dimens.xml, copy all attributes from dimens.xml(v21) to newly created dimens.xml. Error Fixed.Norseman

I had similar error. When i use

<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

    <item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">#00BCD4</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#212121</item>
    <item name="android:textColorSecondary">#727272</item>

</style>

works for me when i remove the android:textColorPrimary and android:textColorSecondary theme items.

<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

    <item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">#00BCD4</item>

</style>

Try working with a very simple App theme to start off with.

EDIT:

This tutorial will help. My understanding is that using "android:textColorPrimary" requires minimum api level 21. Using the same tag without "android:" uses the design support library. Any support library widget will try to find the "textColorPrimary" item instead of "android:textColorPrimary" and if it fails to find the same it throws the above mentioned error.

Thanks, It works like a charm!!!! but do you know why we should remove these two attributes??Artefact
I never had these two attributes, and still get the same error. Any ideas?Aquifer
For me it still fails even if I add android:textColorPrimary in values-v21/styles.xmlThomasthomasa
Please consider the answer that Balman Rawat gave below. In my case I had to apply both answers.Footlocker
@Parag Naik You saved my week thanks :) I love this community.Mudpack
In my case i didn't delete this lines, i've just replaced color value on @color/color_aliasResidual

I also had same error. In my case some of the resources were in drawable-v21 only. Copy those resources to drawable folder also. This solved the issue for me.

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0 

This is the main problem.

Pyrography answered 28/5, 2016 at 9:19 Comment(3)
Yup. Same for me. There was a drawable XML file using a vector in the v21 folder and nothing corresponding in the <21 standard folder. Thanks.Cassaundracassava
Spot on.. I added the images in drawable-xx but not in drawable. That was the issueIdeomotor
thanks a lot my selector.xml and other xml file was there too. I jsut copy it and save the problemCirrate

If you have already migrated to androidx, you should change your layout xml from

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView ... />

to

<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView ... />

I had the same error, I resolved it by adding app:itemTextColor="@color/a_color" to my navigation view :

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
    android:id="@+id/navigation_view"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="left"
    app:headerLayout="@layout/layout_drawer_header"
    app:menu="@menu/drawer_menu"
    app:itemTextColor="@color/primary"/>

You can still use android:textColorPrimary and android:textColorSecondary in your theme with this method.

Well So I was trying to fix this error. And none worked for me. I was not able to figure out solution. Scenario:

I was just going to made a Navigation Drawer Project inside Android Studio 2.1.2 And when I try to change the default Android icon in nav_header_main.xml I was getting some weird errors. I figured out that I was droping my PNG logo into the ...\app\src\main\res\drawable-21. When I try to put my PNG logo in ...\app\src\main\res\drawable bam! All weird errors go away.

Following are some of stack trace when I was putting PNG into drawable-21 folder:

Very good, thanks for the answer. It seems kind of an answer that was avoided in all other posts. I was trying to create drawable-v21 and set all in there while I already had drawable folder and just had to place it thereMongoloid

I solved it downgrading in gradle from

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'

to

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'

It seems like I always get problems when I update any component of Android Studio. Getting tired of it.

Cannot answered 10/11, 2015 at 10:13 Comment(3)
Design Support Library is barely related to Android Studio.Epilate
I had the same problem and I could only solve it by Downgrading as @Cannot mentioned. Really don't know how Support Library is related to Android Studio Plugin and Platform updates but every time I update some or the other doesn't work for me. I really suggest this answer.Postscript
Rather downgrading I upgraded Compact to match 23.1.0. I think is best to use newer libraries my answer above https://mcmap.net/q/237386/-error-inflating-class-android-support-design-widget-navigationviewSynonym

None of the above fixes worked for me.

What worked for me was changing

<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#FFFFFF</item>

to

<item name="android:textColorSecondary">@color/colorWhite</item>

You obviously need to add colorWhite to your colors.xml

I encountered the inflate exception described in this thread after upgrading the Material Components library from version 1.4.0 to 1.5.0. The fix for me was as described in this answer: Change the android:textColorSecondary value from an unnamed resource to a named resource. I created an issue in the Material Components for Android GitHub rep. See Issue #2595.Equanimity

Following below steps will surely remove this error.

  • Find the widget causing the error.
  • Go the layout file where that widget is declared.
  • Check for all the resources (drawables etc.) used in that file.
  • Then make sure that resource is there in all versions of drawables (drawable-v21,drawable etc.)

Cheers!!

As Parag Naik correctly mentions (and Lạng Hoàng expands on), the problem arises when setting textColorPrimary to something other than a color state list. So you could set textColorPrimary as a state list. There is an issue in the android bug tracker about colorPrimary being a state list with only one color: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=172353

So for your theme in styles.xml:

<style name="Base.Theme.Hopster" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item>

    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/primary_color_statelist</item>
</style>

And the actual primary_color_statelist.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- This is used when the Navigation Item is checked -->
    <item android:color="@color/primary_text_selected" android:state_checked="true" />
    <!-- This is the default text color -->
    <item android:color="@color/primary_text" />
</selector>

In my case, I had the same error when I run the app in kitkat API 19 version device. I figured out the problem; I had some drawable resources which was in the drawable-v21 directory (Which is used for versions from API 21 Lollipop). I just put the same resources in the "Drawable" folder to work with the version below API 21. It works. You can put it on the corresponding directory

For me, I encountered this error many times,

Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView #28 and #29

The solution that works for me is that you must match your support design library and your support appcompat library.

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'

For me they must match. :) It works for me!

Just for who still get to this issue. I got to the same problem but all the solutions here is not work for me.

Just take alook on NavigationView class with cue from logcat, i found the issue come form this line of code:

itemTextColor = this.createDefaultColorStateList(16842806);

So, it seem related to itemTextColor as Aenur56 mentioned. So i tried with Aenur56's solution but it doesn't work.

Take a look on the line of code above, i notice that there is ColorStateList. So i create one then set for itemTextColor then it work.

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:color="#00FF00" android:state_checked="true" />
    <item android:color="#000000" />
</selector>

Hope it help!

None of the solutions above helped me. I found this on some other webpage and it worked for me - "In project.properties of design library set target to 21 or highest available, then clean design lib, appcomapt and your project and enjoy"

Hope it will help!

Make sure your drawables for the menu are in the correct folder, mine where put in drawablev21 hence this caused a nullpointer to the resource.

Fixed it buy moving my icons to drawables folder

Generic way of solving issues like Error inflating class X:

  1. check cause stack trace and there should be Resources$NotFoundException like this:
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f0b0066
    at android.content.res.ResourcesImpl.getValue(ResourcesImpl.java:190)
    at android.content.res.Resources.loadXmlResourceParser(Resources.java:2094)
    at android.content.res.Resources.getLayout(Resources.java:1111)
    at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:424)
  1. Resource ID is actually exact integer from generated R.java file.
  2. Find 0x7f0b0066 which will point to the xml file which could not be inflated(found).
  3. In most cases that's because directory layout doesn't have this resource, but some layout-XXX has.
  4. And solution is to put resource into all required directories. Or just at least into layout.

In my case i had

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView...

and in app config:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'

So I changed the XML to:

com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView...

I had the same problem after upgrading the support library and none of the answers worked for me. Finally I solved downloading latest version of build tools and upgrading in build.gradle to buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

One thing to double-check is that you have applied your theme correctly in your AndroidManifest.xml file. In my case, I had omitted the android:theme attribute. E.g:

<application ... android:theme="@style/Your.Theme.Here" ... >

BETTER I UPGRADED com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0

as @Ton said downgrade compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'

BUT Why not to upgrade com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1

Final upgraded worked for me enjoy

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'

So why to use older library. I think is now better to use both design and compact upgraded.

This error can be caused due to reasons as mentioned below.

  1. This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn't match. Example of matching condition

     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0' // appcompat library
    
     compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0' //design support library
    
  2. If your theme file in styles have only these two,

     <item name="colorPrimary">#4A0958</item>
     <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#4A0958</item>
    

then add ColorAccent too. It should look somewhat like this.

 <style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

  <item name="colorPrimary">#4A0958</item>
  <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#4A0958</item>
  <item name="colorAccent">#4A0958</item>

 </style>

I was also having this same issue, after looking nearly 3 hours I find out that the problem was in my drawable_menu.xml file, it was wrongly written :D

I found solution... if you used app:srcCompat change to android:src this solution worked for me :)

I was facing this error in Xamarin. This was due to some files that were present in drawable-v21 folder. So I copied those files (probably icon files) to the drawable folder and the error was gone.
