Binary XML file line #20: Error inflating class TextView in Android 6.0

Question

I made a layout for my app and it works perfectly on Nougat and up, but for whatever reasons app crashes on Android 6.0 with following error:

Error happens in this layout:

            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

and problem is with <TextView/> tag. I'm unsure why does this happen on Marshmallow and not on Nougat+ (haven't tested lollipop but I think problem occurs there too). Can anyone explain?

UPDATE: Here's HomeFragment.kt

package com.vanced.manager.ui.fragments

        container: ViewGroup?, 
        savedInstanceState: Bundle? ):

        setHasOptionsMenu(true) return  
        inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_home, container, false) }

Binary XML file line #20 which in line no 20?

android:textColor="?colorPrimary" invoke <attr format="color" name="colorPrimary"/>. It will be good approach if you use

 android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"  // call hex code from color xml

NOTE

Seems like your android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_vanced" causing issue. Kindly remove and run.

Then Clean-Rebuild-Run.

Thanks guys I'll try that

IntelliJ Amiya Over a year ago

@Xinto remove app:cardBackgroundColor="?colorSurfaceVariant"

Xinto Over a year ago

Using srcCompat doesn't display logo at all, I guess I'll have to move logo out of textview

Xinto Over a year ago

Haha, yeah... I always hated pre android N version except KitKat, now I have even more reasons to do that xD

Xinto Over a year ago

Don't think so because other vector drawables work just fine, checked gradle build file too and I did specify use of vector drawables

In the textview property

remove

 android:textColor="?colorPrimary"

Add

android:textColor="@color/colorPrimary"

Well, I have colorPrimary as attribute because I have 2 themes that need separate colors for colorPrimary and I want to change that text depending on theme, is that the only variant?

Sasi Kumar Over a year ago

that case you should apply theme in the activity tag in the manifest
