'android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class <unknown>
I am developing a simple android apllication and just completed the home screen. Now if the orientation of the screen changes more than two times, it is throwing the error and application is getting crashed abrubptly.
Here is my Java Class:
public class PasswordActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
Button login;
Button forgot;
Button register;
private static final String PREFERENCES = "prefs";
private static final String PREFERENCES_NAME = "pref_name";
SharedPreferences settings;
private Cursor c;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
login=(Button)findViewById(R.id.login_login);
login.setOnClickListener(this);
register=(Button)findViewById(R.id.login_register);
register.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
}
}
And this is my Xml Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Sorry for my bad English
I had the same problem, if you put any "xml" files into "drawable-24" just move them to "drawable", this was the solution that i did to solve this problem
have a nice day :)
Solution 3:[3]
As the others clarified, part of a problem was an issue related to the background image I'd set for my layout. However, getting that solved, I persistently encountered the error:
Unfortunately the application has stopped
With trial and error, I found the problem was caused by the <view> elements which after deleting them, I could eventually run the application.
