InflateException: Binary XML file line #37: Error inflating class android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

Question

My app works correctly on android 5+ but on versions lower than 5, it gives me this error:

InflateException: Binary XML file line #37: Error inflating class android.support.v4.view.ViewPager

I searched a lot but that didn't help me out. Compile SDK and target SDK are 24.

This is my logcat:

Post your full stack trace and the code for the activity that's throwing this exception. — Ishita Sinha, Aug 20 '16 at 05:11

According to the Logcat stack trace that you left here i guess you have multiple problems or compatibility errors in your code so it's not just one error in your activity .

firstly you should checkout Context you provided for adaper class to inflate.

and it looks like you passed an input as a Drawable but it seems to be an int value or something else.

also you can look for 'caused by' word in your logcat stack traces because the exact error messages always comes after that.
