Android: Exceptions only from certain devices with Android 4.X.X

Question

I'm new on Android Studio and I have take the project from Aviary example because it handle a complex(at least for me) gradle settings.

So I have decide renaming package name. After that I test my code in some devices(HTC One, Samsung Xperia Z2, Nexus 7 2013 Android 5.X.X) and it worked as expected, but I'm facing issues (exceptions) in other devices(Samsung Galaxy Young 2 4.4.2, Motorola Moto G 4.4.3, Energy System 4.4.2)

RobotoTextView.java (I have reached the limit of 30k chars in this post) https://gist.github.com/rchampa/6a375f6ccd34dbcf3edb

Ofc I've checked if the file res/drawable/transparent_button_selector.xml is present and it does. So I appreciate any kind of help.

i think the error is from layout xml which has at least 103 lines. — Myat Min Soe, Sep 18 '15 at 07:22
Just check your code again with [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26173031/cant-convert-to-dimension-type-0x1-when-inflating-the-layout) — Neo, Sep 18 '15 at 07:33
@Ricardo because RobotoTextView Class contains codes that support only lollipop and later — Myat Min Soe, Sep 18 '15 at 07:41
@septemberboy7 I have solved. And you were right. I have a colors.xml file only placed in v21 folder — Ricardo, Sep 18 '15 at 07:49

I have finally solved. I just check again if all my resources files are available on android 4.X.X, that is:

colors.xml
strings.xml
dimens.xml
anim.xml
attrs.xml
styles.xml
etc

In my case I had a colors.xml file only placed in v21 folder
