Caused by: android.view.InflateException: in NavigationView

Question

This is my configuration below. This works on android emulator version Kitkat but crashes on my actual phone version Lollipop.

I tried every way in here but I still get the same error. Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView

This is my build gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.kim.deptenv2"
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'

please try comment out this two lines. If it solved the problem, mean that your color code is wrong.

Refer: https://github.com/Marketcloud/marketcloud-sample-android-application/issues/1

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        app:headerLayout="@layout/navheader"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/nv"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/colorText5"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/colorText5"
        app:menu="@menu/drawermenu"
        android:layout_gravity="start">

Beside above solution, there is another one that causing this. It was theme.

In your manifest, inside the main activity part, are there any line of this code:

android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">

As this can create a lot of problems, because it may not be totally compatible with some graphics I used in the sample. The solution is creating this theme in your styles-v21.xml (it should already be there if you imported the sample files, but if it is not there, please create it):

<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

And calling it in the manifest, in the main activity part, as follows (delete the line I highlighted earlier and put this in its place):

android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">

Glad to hear it.. Which part of the solution solved your problem? @KimGangoso — Kasnady, Feb 20 '18 at 02:59
When I commented the two lines you pointed out, it worked. Maybe my color code is wrong. Also, I think the resolution of my navheader background also matters. I get rid of it and works. Thank you so much! — Kim Gangoso, Feb 20 '18 at 03:14
