I am unable to get the problems but I have checked all my libraries are up to date, Clean project and also invalidate and restart my studio.
Note:- Devices till android 9 are working fine with the same code but android 10 is giving me error

There is an issue with andrpid Q, something with text font loading sometimes, In your stacktrace too I can see the issue, If you are using any custom font file check it, If you are not using any font, then import a font file u are supporting in your project , so that If it s does not get it from os, It can get it from asset.
Check below link
Crash when using bundled ttf font on Android 10 / Android Q

I think your problem with ImageView display image its larger than the screen try to replace by some color code and check
android:src="#drawable/foodx_restaurant_logo"
replace this image

As per your xml the error points to Textview and it is related to some of the details in textview.
I think the problem is that the colorPrimaryText is not set properly. Please make sure that this property is set properly .
I have tried running your code in android 10 and it works fine.
Please do check and try this solution.
Hope this will resolve your issue.

How to inflate a view in android in API level 25 and below?

If you are using layout that only supports API level 25+, you should put it inside a res/layout-v25 folder (create the folder if it doesn't exist), and you must create a substitute layout for API level 24 below inside res/layout folder.
Android will automatically use layout-v25 on API level 25+.

As the documentation,
you must be aware that App Widget layouts are based on RemoteViews, which do not support every kind of layout or view widget.
May be your GridView is not allowed where you are trying to use that. A RemoteViews object can support the following layout classes:
FrameLayout
LinearLayout
RelativeLayout
GridLayout
See more at here
Solution
Try using another layout type in your remote view.
You probably using prior than 4.2. which may not support, review that too.

android:<include> tag cause error

When i include a nav bar code xml in my another xml, it generates following error:

What's the problem behind it?

Could it be that
<include
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
layout="#layout/navbar" />
should be
<include
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout="#layout/navbar" />

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.my/com.my.Login}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class
If you got this error means mismatch call of layout in your setContentView(R.id.xml_file);
So first check and make sure if your calling the layout id correctly in your java code.
And just remove style="#style/tableStyle" in your xml . I think it will works.

Specify layout width also.
<include
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
layout="#layout/navbar" />

removed android:background="#style/tableRowStyle"
now its working fine. Thank you all for your valuable answers :)
