(< API 24) NavigationView Error (inflating class) (works in API24+)

Question

So I have a problem with devices that are below API 24. My code works in API 24+

I always get an error when I try to set the layout of my NavDrawer:

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_nav_drawer);

Layout File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
    tools:openDrawer="start">

    <include
        layout="@layout/app_bar_nav_drawer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header_nav_drawer"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/colorPrimary"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_nav_drawer_drawer" />

</androidx.drawerlayout.widget.DrawerLayout>

MANIFEST (Theme):

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
        android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Changed the AppThme no it gives me this error from the Fragment. Again its loading the layout and gives me this error:

The line where the error occurs is a Webview

Is this the error? Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x2040003 — Timur Ugurlu, Jan 12 '20 at 15:11

Your first line of the error showing that below view is the reason of the issue.

 <com.streamdev.aiostreamer.ui.ExpandableHeightGridView
            android:id="@+id/customgrid"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"

I am using this class because I couldnt position the webview like i want. they always sticked to the bottom and top. so i found the solution with a scrollview and a gridview: https://gist.github.com/Kishanjvaghela/248b86b9e1c9fbcb8cd7#file-expandableheightgridview-java – Timur Ugurlu Jan 12 '20 at 15:40
Are you sure that it is this class? Because line #29 refers to the Webview... – Timur Ugurlu Jan 12 '20 at 15:44
I disabled the WebView and my app opens now, i dont know why? Are WebViews not supported in lower APIs? – Timur Ugurlu Jan 12 '20 at 15:53
webviews are supported in all version. – haresh Jan 12 '20 at 15:55
Only putting the webview in the xml crashes the app, that´s ridiculous. I am not even doing sth. with it. I read that it might be an emulator error but actually people telling me it doesnt work for android 4-6 – Timur Ugurlu Jan 12 '20 at 16:00
I found this one but nothing worked yet https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41025200/android-view-inflateexception-error-inflating-class-android-webkit-webview – Timur Ugurlu Jan 12 '20 at 16:06
No but i fixed it I think, the LollipopFixedWebview helped out I guess! Might be an error inside the API itself – Timur Ugurlu Jan 12 '20 at 16:24
