I'm trying to inflate an XML, as an item for RecyclerView, the XML is Constraint Layout with two TextViews both TextViews have the same background that I created, it's located in the drawable folder and it's a rectangle shape, in order to create a frame line around the textviews.
But when I run the app, I get this error:
Binary XML file line #9: Error inflating class TextView
From reading similar questions, I found out it might happen because of some properties of the textview, and I found in my case when I remove those backgrounds from the textviews, the inflation works, and everything is fine.
Can anyone explain why this happens? The XML, the drawable shape, and the error are below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
