LayoutInflater does not work on arbitrary xml at runtime. See the comment on LayoutInflater.inflate.

Important For performance reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime.

The platform performs a downcast in Resources.java that makes this assumption.

// XXX note that for now we only work with compiled XML files.
// To support generic XML files we will need to manually parse
// out the attributes from the XML file (applying type information
// contained in the resources and such).
XmlBlock.Parser parser = (XmlBlock.Parser)set;
