I'm creating a simple app to test AppCompat, when i extend AppCompatActivity the app crashes, and when i run the app without AppCompat (extending android.app.Activity and everything remains the same),
MainActivity extends Activity - works
MainActivity extends AppCompat Activity - crashes
Testing on android 4.4

Adding

In app's gradls didn't solve the problem

Solved, the problem was that i had android SDK 21 (android.jar) with appcompat 27.1.1, tried android SDK 24,25,26,27 with appcompat 27.1.1 but still no luck, then tried android SDK 25 with appcompat 25.0.0 and it worked like a charm.
Hope this may help anyone with same issue.
Check if you use Proguard? If so, you can customise your Proguard rule config like below:
-keep class android.arch.** { *; }
Or turn it off completely:
debug {
minifyEnabled false
useProguard false
}
Hope it works for you
I have the same problem: app crashed when starting Activity that extends AppCompatActivity.
Solving:
Base application theme:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/windows_background</item>
</style>
I added the theme:
<style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
And apply this theme in AndroidManifest.xml for Activity that extends AppCompatActivity:
<activity android:name=".LoadGameActivity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
android:label="#string/label_LoadGameActivity"></activity>
I looked at other SO posts and configured accordingly. But I still see this issue on some Android devices (4.3.1). It works 75% of time.
You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.
What is wrong with code below?
BaseActivity extends android.support.v7.appAppCompatActivity
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
All activities (crashed acitivity as well) use AppTheme from application tag. One activity uses:
<activity
android:name=".Activities.EntryActivity"
android:noHistory="true"
android:theme="#style/SplashTheme" >
I don't have any other style.xml.
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
</style>
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/background_splash</item>
</style>
From Android:
<style name="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

IF you're using Gradle Plugin 2.0, you need to make changes in your gradle:
// Gradle Plugin 2.0+
android {
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
If you are using Gradle 1.5 you’ll use instead of previus:
// Gradle Plugin 1.5
android {
defaultConfig {
// Stops the Gradle plugin's automatic rasterization of vectors
generatedDensities = []
}
// Flag to tell aapt to keep the attribute ids around
// This is handled for you by the 2.0+ Gradle Plugin
aaptOptions {
additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
}
}
Check also: Update Android Support Library to 23.2.0 cause error: XmlPullParserException Binary XML file line #17<vector> tag requires viewportWidth > 0.
Android Support Library Ref.: Support Vector Drawables and Animated Vector Drawables.
Also update Android Support dependencies from
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.4.0'
to
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.0'
as you're already using build-tools in version of 24.0.2.
If any of the other solutions does not work, you can add this line in your Activity
static {
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
and of course, update your gradle and appcompat to the latest versions. This worked in my case.
None of these worked for me. But this did:
Change
android:src="#drawable/your_drawable"
to
app:srcCompat="#drawable/your_drawable"
I ran into this issue in Xamarin.Android with Xamarin.Android.Support.Design 24.0.2. Here is how I solved it:
Added the following line to my Application class OnCreate:
AppCompatDelegate.CompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled = true;
Replaced:
var upArrow = ContextCompat.GetDrawable(this, Resource.Drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_material);
With:
var upArrow = ResourcesCompat.GetDrawable(Resources, Resource.Drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_material, null);
Since this page is the first result of google android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/drawable/, I want to share that this exception might caused by your foo.xml contains improper code.
e.g. foo.xml:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#android:id/background">
<shape>
<size android:height="#android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal" />
<corners android:radius="5dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#000000"
android:centerY="0.75"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This xml contains <size android:height="#android:style/Widget.ProgressBar.Horizontal" /> which compiled successfully but throws exception at Runtime, vary in different app.
use like this in your Activity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
static {
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
...
}
and this in your build.gradle :
android {
...
defaultConfig {
....
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
and in your xml:
app:srcCompat="#drawable/your_icon"
For me the issue was while running the app on Kitkat version I got this runtime crash.
Issue:
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
//Change this to true to enable multidex support for Kitkat
multiDexEnabled true
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
Solution:
//comment the line of vector support
android {
//Change this to true to enable multidex support for Kitkat
multiDexEnabled true
//vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
Ok, i just solved my problem, the problem was my gradle outdated and my sdk , so if anyone is running with this problem just do this steps
1.- Make sure your libs are updated as piotrek1543 says above
2.- Update your sdk if is necesary
3.- Update your gradle files (VERY IMPORTANT)
just go to the project gradle and add this
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
then go to your app project > app > graddle > graddlewrapper.properties and add
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
4.- change your compile compileSdkVersion to 24
and your buildToolsVersion "24.0.2" (MAKE SURE YOUR DEPENDENCES ARE UP TO DATE WITH THE SDK)
Have fun
I have tried all solutions mentioned above. Nothing worked for me. The only thing worked for me is very simple is to update all support libraries to latest version as this bug has been fixed in it. So i simple did the below thing in gradle file; updated SDK and support to 25.
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25"
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 25
}
}
In dependencies
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.1.0'
Not specifically related to your question, but maybe can solve this problem for all that find themselves here while searching for that error.
For me was the problem with SVG file that I have imported into my project. One of the paths in XML has empty pathData and that was causing the crash on some devices like Pixel XL, Samsung Galaxy S7,...
So double check imported XML for an image if you are using SVG as your image source.
I had this problem.
In your Application class, in the onCreate() method, add:
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
... and also use AppCompatImageView instead of ImageView.
Ex :
BaseApplication.class :
public class BaseApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
//Your other code here...
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
}
}
XML :
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="#+id/yourIvId"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
In my case, the issue was about using vector drawable.
The spec of the test device was Huawei EVA-L19, Android: Marshmallow
Using srcCompat instead of src resolved my problem.
In my case, the problem was wrong super-type. I added image view dynamically, and used ImageView instead of AppCompatImageView. Choosing the right super class solved the issue.
I tried all the answers above but no success because of clarity most of the time.
Just do this:
In the launch_background.xml file, replace mipmap with drawable
Copy the icon image that should be your app icon and paste it in the drawable folder
At the end the launch_background.xml file should look like below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Modify this file to customize your launch splash screen -->
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#color/blue" />
<!-- You can insert your own image assets here -->
<item>
<bitmap android:gravity="center" android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</item>
</layer-list>
Changing the kotlin-stdlib dependency from:
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:1.2.0"
to
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.2.0"
fixed the error.
in my case the XML contained android:endX that supports from 24 and up.
If you are using ?attr inside your drawable, this could be the reason of error.
consider replacing it with Vector Drawable so it can be used in all android versions:
Replace
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="?attr/navigationIconColor" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
With:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="37dp"
android:height="5dp"
android:viewportWidth="37"
android:viewportHeight="5">
<path
android:pathData="M2.5,0h32C35.9,0 37,1.1 37,2.5l0,0C37,3.9 35.9,5 34.5,5h-32C1.1,5 0,3.9 0,2.5l0,0C0,1.1 1.1,0 2.5,0z"
android:fillColor="?attr/navigationIconColor"/>
</vector>
The above methods didn’t work for me. I solved it by adding image of every size and used android:src as well it worked.
See the answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/64537207/11669081
for running the app on Kitkat version make use of VectorDrawableCompat like below
ivBg.setImageDrawable(VectorDrawableCompat.create(resources, R.drawable.ic_bg_minicash_single,context?.theme))
No need to change ImageView into AppCompatImageView explicitly AppCompatActivity will automatically convert it.
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.

android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
So, how I solved this problem:
Import support library as a project from "sdk/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat".
Reference library in your project (for Eclipse, "Properties - Android - Add").
Build projects (for Eclipse, "Projects - Build All"). Make sure, you have "android.support.v7.appcompat" in your main project gen folder.
If it doesn't worked - clean and rebuild project.
I have done the following and worked for me.
Delete the jar from the libs folder.
Import the sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\ project in your eclipse workspace.
Ensure that the android-support-v4.jar is the same in your project.
Add the appcompat as a library to your project.
Ensure that your in yout Manifest.xml your activity has the correct theme
<activity
android:name="***.*****.******"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"

Good Luck ;)
In addition to BoredT's answer I added this line to res/values/styles.xml
<style name="AppTheme" parent="#style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
Follow steps from Adding libraries with resources -> Eclipse http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html :
follow all the steps (use copy project in workspace)
add android.library.reference.1=../android-support-v7-appcompat to your project.properties
use android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat" I used it in application tag you can apply to individual activities as well
Rebuild all!
I think you should change your target version to 18 in the manifest.
android:targetSdkVersion="18"
This is how I solve the problem: rebuild the adroid-support-v7-appcompat library project in your eclipse workspace. Then build your own project again.
How to import a project as a library in android studio? Follow the tips blog as a reference:

The next question, also helped a lot:
Error implementing Support Library Action Bar
The following image shows the structure of the imported project. That is copied to the root of my project and placed in the directory 'libraries':
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67269258/Tuto/tree.PNG
In addition to mounting the above structure. In 'settings.glade' I had to add the new project:
include ':FreeMusic', ':libraries:ActionBarCompat:appcompat'
Inside the library project, added the file 'build.gradle'
It is located in: libraries/ActionBarCompat/appcompat
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'
dependencies {
compile files(
'libs/android-support-v4.jar',
'libs/android-support-v7-appcompat.jar'
)
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion "18.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 7
targetSdkVersion 16
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
}
}
In 'build.gradle' (internal project) of my project.
dependencies {
compile project(':libraries:ActionBarCompat:appcompat')
}
In android manifest added the necessary theme:
<activity
android:theme="#style/Theme.AppCompat"
android:name="es.hol.soundmedia.MainActivity"
After all this work. Perhaps an easier way to set this up, but for me the account is working.
Unfortunately I can not show the result, because I'm being blocked, but I hope the instructions help.
For those that don't like needing manual user effort in Eclipse in order to do a build from checkout, the magical change that Eclipse makes is to add a line to project.properties like:
android.library.reference.1=../android-support-v7-appcompat
This is enough to build your application from ant. You can do this in the source yourself, or via the Eclipse user interface - either way you can check it in to your version control system and successfully build from a fresh checkout of the source without requiring manual steps.
But you can instead make the path a sub-directory of your own project if that suits better, E.g.
android.library.reference.1=android-support-v7-appcompat
... and ...
cp -r $SDK/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat android-support-v7-appcompat
Note that Eclipse will still show various warnings until the sub-directory is also added [manually!] to Eclipse's workspace as a project. But an ant build will successfully build without using Eclipse.
Check for R.java for appcompat v7 jar is present in your generated folders of your application
