Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class android.widget.ImageView

Question

I have looked at other questions with a similar error to mine but theirs seem to be a bit different.

In logcat I get this error. I have no clue how to solve this.

Any help would be appreciated.

You probably need to include the xml files you're referencing, such as this one: 11-05 13:10:04.211 30912-30912/? E/AndroidRuntime: Caused by: org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Binary XML file line #2: invalid drawable tag ScrollView — kcraigie

As the exception states, the issue is caused by your placeholder_offline.xml drawable, which apparently contains a <ScrollView> tag.

You cannot have a <ScrollView> (or any other View tags) inside drawable XML- either you inadvertently put a layout file in your drawable folder, or you need to re-evaluate what you are using that drawable for.

In your case, your placeholder_offline layout contains this:

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="@dimen/placeholder_image_size"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/placeholder_image_size"
    android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/global_spacing_m"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:scaleType="fitCenter"
    android:src="@layout/placeholder_offline" />

The android:src="@layout/placeholder_offline" attribute is invalid- android:src needs to refer to a drawable, not a layout.

My placeholder_offline.xml is in layout. I don't have one in drawable.

Bryan Herbst Over a year ago

Then you shouldn't be referencing it as a drawable and/or trying to use it in an ImageView.

m0nsta Over a year ago

I don't have any reference to placeholder_offline.xml in MainActivity though.

Bryan Herbst Over a year ago

Please post the contents of your MainActivity layout, or whichever Fragment has the ImageView in it.

m0nsta Over a year ago

I put it in up there.
