Navigation View Inflation error in android api 23 [duplicate]

I followed a tutorial of new component NavigationView in Support Design Library and can't get through this error message :
Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
I tried every workaround here
Error when using any Android Design Support Library Elements
but error message still exists.

StackTrace (only part of them)
It thrown out three exceptions as below : all points out that the problems is caused by the line of "setContentView(layout)" at in layout.xml.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.ais.cherry/com.ais.cherry.activity.FirstActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #32: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView

Actually it is not the matter of the primarycolortext, upgrading or downgrading the dependencies.This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn't match.
Example of matching condition
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1' // appcompat library
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1' //design support library

I had similar error.
When i use
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#00BCD4</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#212121</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#727272</item>
</style>
works for me when i remove the android:textColorPrimary and android:textColorSecondary theme items.
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#00BCD4</item>
</style>
Try working with a very simple App theme to start off with.
EDIT:
This tutorial will help.
My understanding is that using "android:textColorPrimary" requires minimum api level 21. Using the same tag without "android:" uses the design support library. Any support library widget will try to find the "textColorPrimary" item instead of "android:textColorPrimary" and if it fails to find the same it throws the above mentioned error.

I also had same error. In my case some of the resources were in drawable-v21 only. Copy those resources to drawable folder also. This solved the issue for me.
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0
This is the main problem.

If you have already migrated to androidx, you should change your layout xml
from
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView ... />
to
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView ... />

I had the same error, I resolved it by adding app:itemTextColor="#color/a_color" to my navigation view :
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left"
app:headerLayout="#layout/layout_drawer_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_menu"
app:itemTextColor="#color/primary"/>
You can still use android:textColorPrimary and android:textColorSecondary in your theme with this method.

Well
So I was trying to fix this error. And none worked for me. I was not able to figure out solution.
Scenario:
I was just going to made a Navigation Drawer Project inside Android Studio 2.1.2
And when I try to change the default Android icon in nav_header_main.xml I was getting some weird errors. I figured out that I was droping my PNG logo into the ...\app\src\main\res\drawable-21. When I try to put my PNG logo in ...\app\src\main\res\drawable bam! All weird errors go away.
Following are some of stack trace when I was putting PNG into drawable-21 folder:

at android.support.design.widget.NavigationView.(NavigationView.java:95)

I solved it downgrading in gradle from
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
to
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
It seems like I always get problems when I update any component of Android Studio. Getting tired of it.

None of the above fixes worked for me.
What worked for me was changing
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#FFFFFF</item>
to
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/colorWhite</item>
You obviously need to add colorWhite to your colors.xml

Following below steps will surely remove this error.
Find the widget causing the error.
Go the layout file where that widget is declared.
Check for all the resources (drawables etc.) used in that file.
Then make sure that resource is there in all versions of drawables (drawable-v21,drawable etc.)
Cheers!!

As Parag Naik correctly mentions (and Lạng Hoàng expands on), the problem arises when setting textColorPrimary to something other than a color state list. So you could set textColorPrimary as a state list. There is an issue in the android bug tracker about colorPrimary being a state list with only one color: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=172353
So for your theme in styles.xml:
<style name="Base.Theme.Hopster" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/primary_color_statelist</item>
</style>
And the actual primary_color_statelist.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is used when the Navigation Item is checked -->
<item android:color="#color/primary_text_selected" android:state_checked="true" />
<!-- This is the default text color -->
<item android:color="#color/primary_text" />
</selector>

In my case, I had the same error when I run the app in kitkat API 19 version device. I figured out the problem; I had some drawable resources which was in the drawable-v21 directory (Which is used for versions from API 21 Lollipop). I just put the same resources in the "Drawable" folder to work with the version below API 21. It works. You can put it on the corresponding directory

For me, I encountered this error many times,
Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView #28 and #29
The solution that works for me is that you must match your support design library and your support appcompat library.
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
For me they must match. :) It works for me!

Just for who still get to this issue. I got to the same problem but all the solutions here is not work for me.
Just take alook on NavigationView class with cue from logcat, i found the issue come form this line of code:
itemTextColor = this.createDefaultColorStateList(16842806);
So, it seem related to itemTextColor as Aenur56 mentioned. So i tried with Aenur56's solution but it doesn't work.
Take a look on the line of code above, i notice that there is ColorStateList. So i create one then set for itemTextColor then it work.
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#00FF00" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:color="#000000" />
</selector>
Hope it help!

None of the solutions above helped me. I found this on some other webpage and it worked for me - "In project.properties of design library set target to 21 or highest available, then clean design lib, appcomapt and your project and enjoy"
Hope it will help!

Make sure your drawables for the menu are in the correct folder, mine where put in drawablev21 hence this caused a nullpointer to the resource.
Fixed it buy moving my icons to drawables folder

Generic way of solving issues like Error inflating class X:
check cause stack trace and there should be Resources$NotFoundException like this:
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f0b0066
at android.content.res.ResourcesImpl.getValue(ResourcesImpl.java:190)
at android.content.res.Resources.loadXmlResourceParser(Resources.java:2094)
at android.content.res.Resources.getLayout(Resources.java:1111)
at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:424)
Resource ID is actually exact integer from generated R.java file.
Find 0x7f0b0066 which will point to the xml file which could not be inflated(found).
In most cases that's because directory layout doesn't have this resource, but some layout-XXX has.
And solution is to put resource into all required directories. Or just at least into layout.

In my case i had
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView...
and in app config:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
So I changed the XML to:
com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView...

I had the same problem after upgrading the support library and none of the answers worked for me. Finally I solved downloading latest version of build tools and upgrading in build.gradle to buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

One thing to double-check is that you have applied your theme correctly in your AndroidManifest.xml file. In my case, I had omitted the android:theme attribute. E.g:
<application ... android:theme="#style/Your.Theme.Here" ... >

BETTER I UPGRADED com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0
as #Ton said downgrade compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
BUT Why not to upgrade com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1
Final upgraded worked for me enjoy
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
So why to use older library. I think is now better to use both design and compact upgraded.

I was also having this same issue, after looking nearly 3 hours I find out that the problem was in my drawable_menu.xml file, it was wrongly written :D

This error can be caused due to reasons as mentioned below.
This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn't match.
Example of matching condition
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0' // appcompat library
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0' //design support library
If your theme file in styles have only these two,
<item name="colorPrimary">#4A0958</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#4A0958</item>
then add ColorAccent too. It should look somewhat like this.
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#4A0958</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#4A0958</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#4A0958</item>
</style>

It's weird but clean project and rebuild project worked for me.

I found solution...
if you used app:srcCompat change to android:src
this solution worked for me :)

I was facing this error in Xamarin. This was due to some files that were present in drawable-v21 folder. So I copied those files (probably icon files) to the drawable folder and the error was gone.

Exception from LayerDrawable

I've an android app that using android support library version 23.2.1 and everything is working fine. However, I've updated the android support library version to 25.2.0 yesterday and realize some of the user are getting this exception (through Fabric crashlytics) but I couldn't reproduce it.

It seems to do with menu view. The layout for menu option is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context=".tablet.ui.navimenu.ContainerActivity">
<item
android:id="#+id/memo_fragment"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_class_white_24dp"
android:orderInCategory="100"
android:title="#string/memo_fragment"
app:showAsAction="always" />
<item
android:id="#+id/notification_fragment"
android:icon="#drawable/layerlist_menu_notification"
android:orderInCategory="200"
android:title="#string/notification_fragment"
app:showAsAction="always" />
</menu>
layerlist_menu_notification layout is an icon with a badge:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:id="#+id/ic_notification"
android:drawable="#drawable/ic_notifications_white_24dp"
android:gravity="center" />
<!-- set a place holder Drawable so android:drawable isn't null -->
<item
android:id="#+id/ic_badge"
android:drawable="#drawable/ic_notifications_white_24dp" />
</layer-list>
Any idea where goes wrong?

Try Change the following in build.gradle
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.0'

RuntimeException when clicking on EditText

I have a release Android App that goes smooth on a Nexus 5X running Android 6.0.1. and on a Samsung 5 running Android 5.0.
However, on other devices weird exceptions rise when double clicking or long clicking any EditText.
This is the track on an Alcatel OneTouch (Android 5.1):

Is someone able to explain what is this happening? Is it somehow related with the hardware/distribution?
EDIT 1:
Please take into account that this is a big app so I cannot post all places where it is crashing. This is an extract of the very first EditText where the app is crashing.
// LoginActivity.java
public class LoginActivity extends ApiActivity implements
onLoginSuccessListener {
#Bind(R.id.login_field_email)
protected EditText user;
/* OnCreate and other methods... */
#OnTextChanged({R.id.login_field_email, R.id.login_field_password})
public void onAnyFieldChanged() {
loginButton.setEnabled(areFieldFilled());
}

I have same problem with editText
the problem in my case was in my style
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->

my problem solved by removing this line of code

How can I fix it?

Use this code in your build.gradle file
//for Gradle Plugin 2.0+
android {
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
If you are using Gradle 1.5 you’ll instead use
defaultConfig {
generatedDensities = []
}
// This is handled for you by the 2.0+ Gradle Plugin
aaptOptions {
additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
}
I think may be they are using vector draw-able compact underneath in other lib.found here

You can also upgrade to 23.4.0
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
}
and use a flag to manually enable this functionality:
static
{
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
inside the activity that uses the vectors.
Source: Age of the vectors

Please remove the appcompat gradle(
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0")
and replace with support design (compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1') this will solve the problem

On pre-lollipop devices you need to create selector to use VectorDrawable elsewhere from ImageView
app:srcCompat="#drawable/your_vector_drawable"
Selector:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/your_vector_drawable" />
</selector>
Then you can pass this selector, e.g. for TextView drawableLeft/drawableRight in xml
<TextView
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/selector_your_vector_drawable"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/selector_your_vector_drawable"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/selector_your_vector_drawable"
android:drawableEnd="#drawable/selector_your_vector_drawable"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/your_string" />

Instead of ContextCompat.getDrawable , just use AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable .
This should work on versions higher than 23.+

Using:
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion '24.0.1'
I crashed at run time until I removed the line
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
from my application guild.gradle
This appears to confuse the newer version of the SDK
Hope this saves someone else headaches

I fixed this problem by replacing
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.2.0'
}
with
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
}

A mix of few of the above solutions worked for me. Here is what I did -
Change gradle version from 1.3.0 to 1.5.0 in build.gradle of project like this
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
Update below things in build.gradle of app
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
Updated Module dependencies from 23.2.0 to 23.4.0:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:23.4.0'
Now depending upon the gradle version you're using, use either of the following two snippets.
Since I am using gradle 1.5.0, I used this -
defaultConfig {
generatedDensities = []
}
aaptOptions {
additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
}
But if you are using Gradle 2.1.0 use this instead
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
And then you're good to go. I tested it both in xml as well as programmatically. In xml file, I used this in my ImageView -
app:srcCompat="#drawable/anim_droid"
// where droid_anim is an animated-vector file containing set of animations to animate different paths of the SVG file
And to do it programmatically, I used this -
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.anim_droid);
Drawable drawable = imageView.getDrawable();
if (drawable instanceof Animatable) {
((Animatable) drawable).start();
}
Hope it helps! Cheers :)

Had the same problem. For me actually upgrading build Tools version helped :
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

Face the crash problem on api 19 when update to 23.2.0.
I solved this problem by update the version to 23.2.1.(The latest version when answer this question. Try to update to latest, maybe google has been fixed it)
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support:23.2.1'.

Make sure you use the latest buildToolsVersion as well (Download from SDK manager if needed).
Sample Gradle:
android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "24.0.0"
defaultConfig {
...
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0'
...
}
}

In Gradle (gradle:2.1.0):
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
In layout:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/you_vector_drawable"/>

I had this problem, but updating to the versions build:grade:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
And:
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
Success!

Replace android:src with app:srcCompat

I was supprised by this exact same problem when I built a new version of my app. My dependency to appcompact was set to auto update.
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23+'
So as soon as a new version is available (in this case version 23.2.0) it will replace the old one you were building with.
So you can either switch back to the previous version of the appcompat library (Quick fix):
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
Or keep the current library version and use Ajinkya's answer as explained by google in version 23.2.0 release note.
If you opt for the later, don't forget to update your gradle build tool to version 1.5.0 or you couldn't use the new parameters like generatedDensities:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'

Faced the same issue, this solution fixed it.
In your class just do
public class YourClass extends xxx {
static {
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
...
}
and also add this in your gradle file if not yet.
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}

I have fixed it by setting..
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.1.1' and buildToolsVersion '24.0.0'

I met this problem too, what I did:
change
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
to
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "24.0.1"

Insert to build.gradle(Module: app):
android {
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
}
After, use the code below, in you AppActivity:
AppCompatResources.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.ic_your);
Where available use the app:srcCompat instead android:src and android:background, in XML resource file

I had this problem, but updating to the versions below fixed it for me:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
And:
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
Module dependencies:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

I fixed the problem by replacing
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.2.0'
with
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.2'

I got this same error in Android Studio 2.2 after I updated my Gradle dependencies to the latest versions but forgot to update the buildToolsVersion of my project.
I changed:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
to:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
While buildToolsVersion remained at "22.0.1" like so:
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
So all I did was to update the buildToolsVersion to 24 like so:
buildToolsVersion "24"
since it has previously been download with SDK Manager. So check the latest buildToolsVersion from SDK Manager and see if it matches the dependencies version.
Hope this helps someone.

For me what worked... was removing the 's' from 'https' in the namespace declaration of my xml vector drawable.
That XML came from Google Android documentation itself. You can see in the screenshot that the xmlns is 'http' but in the copy-pastable version below, it's 'https.'
This will stop the rendering errors in the Vector Asset viewer, but you still wont see anything, for reasons I don't get. It's supposed to look like a wrench.
If you right-click the drawables folder and "New --> Vector Asset" you get an android icon asset that works.

Both my design and my appcompat-v7 use 23.2.1, and buildToolsVersion 23.0.2.
This just in. The wrench generated by the 'material icons' interface file --> new --> vector asset --> material icon (then click the icon and select wrench) is:

This online utility did okay by me. Use Chrome. It converts SVG to android vector drawables.

problem was :
/VdcInflateDelegate: Exception while inflating <vector>
solution:
changed compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
to compileSdkVersion 24 buildToolsVersion "24.0.2"
solution code:
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion '24.0.1'
using this above code I solved the problem

Just add the following dependancy in your build.gradle. this will fix your problem. I'm using 25.0.2 buildToolsVersion.
compile 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:25.3.0'

I changed the FragmentActivity to AppCompatActivity, the problem is solved. My environment is:
compileSdkVersion = 25
buildToolsVersion = "25.0.0"
supportVersion = "25.2.0"

In my case this solution worked:
Use
android:theme="#style/TextLabelWhite"
just like in your xml. Change style parent to your AppTheme style,
like:
<style name="TextLabelWhite" parent="AppTheme">

Even though I have support of vector enabled in my gradle and have the latest version of gradle, build tools, support library and Android studio, I still got the error.
Here a fix for my case:
AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.drawable_xyz);
to supress the lint warning add this #SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")

try to use :
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
instead of:
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.0"

Also Observed on buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
Downgrading to buildToolsVersion '25.0.3' worked.
For buildToolsVersion '26.0.2' : Try AppCompat for Widgets
Example : TextView -> android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView
(For older Android Version support)
Also observed on lower end devices when the device is unable to inflate drawables due to memory shortage.(Even though the drawable exists in your res->drawable dir) : Try changing your drawable with less complex ones.

StackTrace (only part of them)
It thrown out three exceptions as below : all points out that the problems is caused by the line of "setContentView(layout)" at in layout.xml.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.ais.cherry/com.ais.cherry.activity.FirstActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #32: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView

Actually it is not the matter of the primarycolortext, upgrading or downgrading the dependencies.This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn't match.
Example of matching condition
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1' // appcompat library
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1' //design support library

I had similar error.
When i use
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#00BCD4</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#212121</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#727272</item>
</style>
works for me when i remove the android:textColorPrimary and android:textColorSecondary theme items.
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#00BCD4</item>
</style>
Try working with a very simple App theme to start off with.
EDIT:
This tutorial will help.
My understanding is that using "android:textColorPrimary" requires minimum api level 21. Using the same tag without "android:" uses the design support library. Any support library widget will try to find the "textColorPrimary" item instead of "android:textColorPrimary" and if it fails to find the same it throws the above mentioned error.

I also had same error. In my case some of the resources were in drawable-v21 only. Copy those resources to drawable folder also. This solved the issue for me.
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0
This is the main problem.

If you have already migrated to androidx, you should change your layout xml
from
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView ... />
to
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView ... />

I had the same error, I resolved it by adding app:itemTextColor="#color/a_color" to my navigation view :
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="left"
app:headerLayout="#layout/layout_drawer_header"
app:menu="#menu/drawer_menu"
app:itemTextColor="#color/primary"/>
You can still use android:textColorPrimary and android:textColorSecondary in your theme with this method.

Well
So I was trying to fix this error. And none worked for me. I was not able to figure out solution.
Scenario:
I was just going to made a Navigation Drawer Project inside Android Studio 2.1.2
And when I try to change the default Android icon in nav_header_main.xml I was getting some weird errors. I figured out that I was droping my PNG logo into the ...\app\src\main\res\drawable-21. When I try to put my PNG logo in ...\app\src\main\res\drawable bam! All weird errors go away.
Following are some of stack trace when I was putting PNG into drawable-21 folder:

As you can see the above Stack Trace include:
android.support.design.widget.NavigationView.inflateHeaderView(NavigationView.java:262)
at android.support.design.widget.NavigationView.(NavigationView.java:173)
at android.support.design.widget.NavigationView.(NavigationView.java:95)

I solved it downgrading in gradle from
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
to
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
It seems like I always get problems when I update any component of Android Studio. Getting tired of it.

None of the above fixes worked for me.
What worked for me was changing
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#FFFFFF</item>
to
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/colorWhite</item>
You obviously need to add colorWhite to your colors.xml

Following below steps will surely remove this error.
Find the widget causing the error.
Go the layout file where that widget is declared.
Check for all the resources (drawables etc.) used in that file.
Then make sure that resource is there in all versions of drawables (drawable-v21,drawable etc.)
Cheers!!

As Parag Naik correctly mentions (and Lạng Hoàng expands on), the problem arises when setting textColorPrimary to something other than a color state list. So you could set textColorPrimary as a state list. There is an issue in the android bug tracker about colorPrimary being a state list with only one color: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=172353
So for your theme in styles.xml:
<style name="Base.Theme.Hopster" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/primary_color_statelist</item>
</style>
And the actual primary_color_statelist.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is used when the Navigation Item is checked -->
<item android:color="#color/primary_text_selected" android:state_checked="true" />
<!-- This is the default text color -->
<item android:color="#color/primary_text" />
</selector>

In my case, I had the same error when I run the app in kitkat API 19 version device. I figured out the problem; I had some drawable resources which was in the drawable-v21 directory (Which is used for versions from API 21 Lollipop). I just put the same resources in the "Drawable" folder to work with the version below API 21. It works. You can put it on the corresponding directory

For me, I encountered this error many times,
Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.NavigationView #28 and #29
The solution that works for me is that you must match your support design library and your support appcompat library.
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
For me they must match. :) It works for me!

Just for who still get to this issue. I got to the same problem but all the solutions here is not work for me.
Just take alook on NavigationView class with cue from logcat, i found the issue come form this line of code:
itemTextColor = this.createDefaultColorStateList(16842806);
So, it seem related to itemTextColor as Aenur56 mentioned. So i tried with Aenur56's solution but it doesn't work.
Take a look on the line of code above, i notice that there is ColorStateList. So i create one then set for itemTextColor then it work.
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#00FF00" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:color="#000000" />
</selector>
Hope it help!

None of the solutions above helped me. I found this on some other webpage and it worked for me - "In project.properties of design library set target to 21 or highest available, then clean design lib, appcomapt and your project and enjoy"
Hope it will help!

Make sure your drawables for the menu are in the correct folder, mine where put in drawablev21 hence this caused a nullpointer to the resource.
Fixed it buy moving my icons to drawables folder

Generic way of solving issues like Error inflating class X:
check cause stack trace and there should be Resources$NotFoundException like this:
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f0b0066
at android.content.res.ResourcesImpl.getValue(ResourcesImpl.java:190)
at android.content.res.Resources.loadXmlResourceParser(Resources.java:2094)
at android.content.res.Resources.getLayout(Resources.java:1111)
at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:424)
Resource ID is actually exact integer from generated R.java file.
Find 0x7f0b0066 which will point to the xml file which could not be inflated(found).
In most cases that's because directory layout doesn't have this resource, but some layout-XXX has.
And solution is to put resource into all required directories. Or just at least into layout.

In my case i had
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView...
and in app config:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
So I changed the XML to:
com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView...

I had the same problem after upgrading the support library and none of the answers worked for me. Finally I solved downloading latest version of build tools and upgrading in build.gradle to buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

One thing to double-check is that you have applied your theme correctly in your AndroidManifest.xml file. In my case, I had omitted the android:theme attribute. E.g:
<application ... android:theme="#style/Your.Theme.Here" ... >

BETTER I UPGRADED com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0
as #Ton said downgrade compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
BUT Why not to upgrade com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1
Final upgraded worked for me enjoy
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
So why to use older library. I think is now better to use both design and compact upgraded.

I was also having this same issue, after looking nearly 3 hours I find out that the problem was in my drawable_menu.xml file, it was wrongly written :D

This error can be caused due to reasons as mentioned below.
This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn't match.
Example of matching condition
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0' // appcompat library
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0' //design support library
If your theme file in styles have only these two,
<item name="colorPrimary">#4A0958</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#4A0958</item>
then add ColorAccent too. It should look somewhat like this.
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#4A0958</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#4A0958</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#4A0958</item>
</style>

It's weird but clean project and rebuild project worked for me.

I found solution...
if you used app:srcCompat change to android:src
this solution worked for me :)

I was facing this error in Xamarin. This was due to some files that were present in drawable-v21 folder. So I copied those files (probably icon files) to the drawable folder and the error was gone.
