Adding CheckBox causes Inflate Exception

Question

I have a check box defined in the xml file for my dialog fragment. When the code is executed it causes Inflate Exception. I don't know what is wrong with the code. If the check box is removed everything works fine. The same exception arises if i use a radio button also.

Here is my xml File.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

        Cause

It's pretty much textbook stuff so i don't know what i am doing wrong. Please help me. Thanks in advance

remove `android:layout_alignStart="@+id/button_gallery"` and then try again — V-rund Puro-hit, Mar 16 '16 at 09:03
is it OK to add both `android:layout_alignLeft` and `android:layout_alignStart` for the same view? i think in some cases this might make a conflict (as start means right or left based on locale) and left always means left! not sure if this is the issue, but i think it's not right to have them both — Yazan, Mar 16 '16 at 09:04
i think it needs resId .. let it be directed to values in color.. Sometimes they behave crazyly these xml.. — DJphy, Mar 16 '16 at 09:06
@DJphy its hex color for black. Still I tried after removing it and the error remains the same — Unnikrishnan M R, Mar 16 '16 at 09:07
That is not necessary. you can also apply textColor like this. — V-rund Puro-hit, Mar 16 '16 at 09:08
`Binary XML file line #104: Error inflating class android.widget.RadioButton` and you're not using `RadioButton` at all. I say you should do a clean and then build. — Egor Neliuba, Mar 16 '16 at 09:09
Regarding your last 4 views you inflate, I can't find those ids in your layout. Am I missing something here? Can't find relative layout with id `container_CropImageView` — hehe, Mar 16 '16 at 09:11
@EgorN sorry my mistake i accidently copied the error from trying with radiobutton. Changed the logcat wiht correct error message. — Unnikrishnan M R, Mar 16 '16 at 09:13
@vrundpurohit View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.wizard_upload_photo, container, false); — Unnikrishnan M R, Mar 16 '16 at 09:17
I think.. ummm... change `android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/button_gallery"` to `android:layout_alignLeft="@id/button_gallery"` Remove that `+`. — V-rund Puro-hit, Mar 16 '16 at 09:23
I don't know man... not solution but you can do this. remove checkbox from xml -> clean -> build -> Run. if it works fine, add checkbox again. in my case this works everytime — V-rund Puro-hit, Mar 16 '16 at 09:32
@vrundpurohit without the checkbox everything workfs fine. But if i add the check box back then exception arises. — Unnikrishnan M R, Mar 16 '16 at 09:41
@UnnikrishnanMR I don't mean to be rude with my question but, you put your `container_CropImageView` in a separate file right? — hehe, Mar 16 '16 at 09:47
@UnnikrishnanMR I copied and pasted your xml and it has structure errors — hehe, Mar 16 '16 at 09:48

Your first view in the Relative Layout seems to be wrong as per the layout xml code above (assuming you have pasted as is from file). android:layout_below="@+id/linearLayout" should be removed. I wonder how could you compile ?

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/linearLayout"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Upload Your Photo"
android:textSize="40sp" />

Just check.

I have added my complete XML file please check again – Unnikrishnan M R Mar 16 '16 at 09:18
Please check if you have really missed closing tag for ` RelativeLayout>`. – pavanjoshi Mar 16 '16 at 09:41
Its there i missed it while copying – Unnikrishnan M R Mar 16 '16 at 09:45
as per i know, inflation exception is just as wrapper exception, and the real cause is below in the logs. Check what line of code comes @107 in activity. Also debug with breakpoints there. – pavanjoshi Mar 16 '16 at 09:53

Finally i have solved the issue. The Inflate Exception was arising from InvokeTargetException which in turn was due to ResourceNotFoundException. The error was in the android support library 23.2. I don't know clearly why but google has renamed and removed some xml files from their support library and are using Vectors instead of PNG's. The error can be solved simply by reverting to the previous library (23.1.1) or using AppCombatRadioButton or AppCombatCheckBox instead of RadioButton and CheckBox respectively. If anyone else is facing the same issue you can check out this issue opened in google code https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=202144

In my case it was an invalid attribute:

android:textSize="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"

After removing it all worked fine. I guess the error should be more explanatory.
