I created a custom CheckBoxPreference class to prevent the CheckBoxPreference from being clicked when the user clicks on anything else than the CheckBox itself.
It worked perfectly yesterday before leaving but for a strange reason it doesn't work today. The app crashes and i get this error :
FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: ca.qc.gouv.stat.kth, PID: 19543 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{ca.qc.gouv.stat.kth/ca.qc.gouv.stat.kth.AppPreferenceActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #24: Error inflating class ca.qc.gouv.stat.kth.CustomCheckBoxPreference
It crashes on this line in the code : addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
I'm almost sure i did not change anything to the project other than adding a Log.i line to my main activity this morning. I tried to comment this line. Clean the project cache. Refresh Gradle projects. A google search returned me many results on Error inflating class and i think there's as many solutions as there's questions asked. It looks like a very generic error.
If i replace my custom CheckBoxPreference in the preferences.xml file by a normal one it works. If i put breakpoints in the class of my custom CheckBoxPreference it doesn't break on them. Looks like the code of the class is never executed. I'm totally lost as i'm 100% positive it was working yesterday.
Here's the custom CheckBoxPreference class i did :
package ca.qc.gouv.stat.kth;
import android.content.Context;
import android.preference.CheckBoxPreference;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class CustomCheckBoxPreference extends CheckBoxPreference {
private CheckBoxPreference clickedCheckBoxPreference;
CustomCheckBoxPreference(Context context) {
super(context);
}
CustomCheckBoxPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
CustomCheckBoxPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
CustomCheckBoxPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
}
@Override
protected void onBindView(View view) {
super.onBindView(view);
clickedCheckBoxPreference = this;
CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox) view.findViewById(android.R.id.checkbox);
TextView title = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.title);
title.setSingleLine(false);
view.setOnClickListener(null);
title.setOnClickListener(null);
checkBox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
CheckBox clickedCheckBox = (CheckBox) v;
if (clickedCheckBox.isChecked()) {
clickedCheckBoxPreference.setChecked(true);
} else {
clickedCheckBoxPreference.setChecked(false);
}
}
});
}
}
Here's the preferences.xml file :
