The context of this problem is that you're mistakenly laying out text for a negative width, which probably would probably come from setting the text of a degenerately sized button.

Take a look through the rest of the frames in the stack trace to get a better sense of how that width value of -72 is reaching this illegal argument check.

Somehow you try to set the width/height of you layout to negative number...

But can you upload you code here.

Please ensure that your text character length is fit to button.

  • can you share your entire xml file ? – Susheel Tickoo Dec 20 '19 at 06:32
  • what is the size of android:textSize="@dimen/_12ssp"? generally the exception -x<0 is thrown when android expectes minimum value to be zero but is being served a value less than zero. Just for the sake of verification try with some fixed values first and then you can conclude. – Susheel Tickoo Dec 23 '19 at 04:27
