android.view.inflateException Android

Question

I have created one java class and one layout with image button. When I set content view it throws runtime exception.

Error:

Xml Layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/letters_bg" >

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="49dp"
        android:src="@drawable/leftsignpost" />

</RelativeLayout>

Java Class Code :

public class LettersScreenActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.letters_screen); // error is here
        this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);

    }
}

So what is the problem? Why it is throwing runtime exception ??

Have you checked if your drawables are ok? Have you cleaned your project? — psykhi, Feb 02 '13 at 11:59

There are no any obvious problems in the code provided, should run? At least does for me (the drawables are mine, of course).

Check if you have the referenced resources letters_bg and leftsignpost in place. These must be under res/drawable . Clean the project. Try to provide the longer stack trace.

I have checked but still it is throwing same exception. – Zankhna Feb 02 '13 at 12:17
At the end of the stack trace it must be another exception (cause) that is the actual reason. We need to see this exception to understand. The stack trace you post is too short. – Audrius Meškauskas Feb 02 '13 at 12:21
