Error inflating class com.google.android.material.slider.Slider

Question

I want to inflate a layout containing a single seekBar. in this way, I've created a java class that extends fragment class and then I inflate the layout. but the following error occurred:

Binary XML file line #9: Binary XML file line #9: Error inflating class com.google.android.material.slider.Slider

warming.XML is in the following:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <com.google.android.material.slider.Slider
        android:layout_width="327dp"
        android:layout_height="37dp"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_marginStart="42dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="217dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="42dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="349dp"
        android:valueFrom="0"
        android:valueTo="300"
        app:activeTrackColor="#ff4500"
        app:inactiveTrackColor="#fbb999" >

    </com.google.android.material.slider.Slider>
</RelativeLayout>

and firstPage.java that inflate layout warming.XML is in the following:

public class firstPage extends Fragment {
   @Nullable
   @Override
   public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      return inflater.inflate(R.layout.warming,container,false);
   }
}

using the following code, I want to execute the firstPage.java class:

getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container,new firstPage()).commit();

what's the matter? can anyone help me? I've searched for this problem in StackOverflow and some other websites, and there were similar questions but no one can solve my problem.

Update

and in the following is the Build.gradle code:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

dependencies {

    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha02'
//    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.4'

    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'
}

and if you want to ask me "why don't you use the "material:1.3.0" version", I can say that because of rendering problem associated with Navigation Drawer Layout, according to some instruction in StackOverFlow, I changed it to "material:1.2.0-alpha02" and rendering problem was solved. I ask that question in another post. you can access that question in the following link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67095956/com-google-android-materialmaterial1-2-0-alpha02-does-not-include-some-instr

and here is Theme.xml:

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="Theme.MyApplication" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Primary brand color. -->

@Gabriele Mariotti I also add Gradle code in the update section. — mohammad rezza, Apr 16 '21 at 09:02
@Gabriele Mariotti hello, I changed the material version to 1.3.0(newest version). but the same error is shown. — mohammad rezza, May 05 '21 at 15:03
@Gabriele Mariotti sorry, I am beginner to android studio. what do you mean by theme? I think you mean theme.xml: — mohammad rezza, May 06 '21 at 14:22
Yes the theme used in your Activity and defined in themes.xml — Gabriele Mariotti, May 06 '21 at 14:24
@Gabriele Mariotti I added Theme.xml full resource at the end of my question. — mohammad rezza, May 06 '21 at 14:38

I created the following theme:

<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Add attributes here -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/itimalia_pink_califoria</item>
</style>

then:

   <com.google.android.material.slider.Slider
    android:id="@+id/slider"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"/>

and it works.

well, after a lot of searching, finally I found out there is a simillar object to slider named <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatSeekBar> in android studio. so, you can use this object instead of "slider" object. so there is no inflating error in this way.

If your application theme is not derived from Material Design, you can get past the runtime crash by assigning the following theme to the Slider widget.

android:theme="@style/Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar"

It is due to your base app theme is not a child of the material theme. In my case, I was using the app theme of Appcompat child..but I was using a view that inherits everything from the MaterialComponenets theme. And it was throwing the error.

App theme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">
   ...
</style>

So I created another style as,

<style name="WD_Slider" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar">
    ...
</style>

and referred that style in slider view as,

android:theme="@style/WD_Slider"

With this approach, you can use any view which is not a child of your app theme and override the required theme exactly when you use it in XML at the view level.

You have to use app:trackColorActive and app:trackColorInactive instead of app:activeTrackColor and app:inactiveTrackColor:

    <com.google.android.material.slider.Slider
        ...
        app:trackColorActive="#ff4500"
        app:trackColorInactive="#fbb999"/>

when I replace your code and I run my application, my application is not executed and it also does not give any error. but when I deleted the mentioned XML code from warming.XML, I get the same error. thank you anyway. – mohammad rezza Apr 16 '21 at 08:33

I had the same issue. Upgrading to com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0 did not help. As stated above, the only solution was to set android:theme to something, and then it worked.

This has given me exact tracking in kotlin

seekBar?.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(object : SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener {
        override fun onProgressChanged(seekBar: SeekBar, progress: Int,
                                       fromUser: Boolean) {

            val bounds: Rect = seekBar.thumb.bounds
            tvProgress.x = (seekBar.left + bounds.left + seekBar.thumbOffset).toFloat()

         }

        override fun onStartTrackingTouch(seekBar: SeekBar) {
         }
