android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class

Question

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this layout? Because I can't seem to find anything unusual that could cause InflateException. Also I am getting this exception mostly on Samsung Devices, others seem to work more or less fine. Full exception

I am inflating this layout in my custom view class like this:

class EnterIdentifierView(context: Context) : ConstraintLayout(context) {

    init {
        inflate(context, R.layout.view_enter_identifier, this)

    }

And creating my custom view like this:

override fun onCreateControllerView(layoutInflater: LayoutInflater, viewParent: ViewGroup) = EnterIdentifierView(layoutInflater.context)

Can you add the code where you are trying to inflate this layout, we need the whole thing in order to help you out :). — N.K, May 07 '18 at 09:33

I don't think this is an answer, more of a suggestion, but as I don't have enough reputation have to post it as such.

From my experience when I get this type of error it sometimes indicates an OutOfMemory error, check to make sure your custom classes aren't trying to load any large images etc.

Also check the full Stacktrace carefully, if you have access to one, for any OOMs
