I'm using RecyclerView on my app, but at runtime app crashes and my logcat reads:

I added android-support-v7-cardview, android-support-v7-gridlayout,
android-support-v7-recyclerview and android-support-v7-appcompat
to my project.
I'm using intellij idea
a on API Level 22

You need to clear recyclerview lib project and build it again. Then build your app. Now class must be found.

I am still using Eclipse, not Intellij, but it might help you, as I stumbled across this very error today after upgrading to the latest version of the support library.
I used to just have the recyclerview jar copied into my project;s lib folder and added to dependencies. Apparently this was not the right way anymore. I had to re-add the library as "library with resources" - pretty much the same way as the cardview library needs to be added.
For Eclipse I just followed the instructions at https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html from the "Adding libraries with resources" section. FWIW I had to mark the newly added recyclerview as being a library during the import process (the default is not and this step was skipped in the instructions).
I hope it helps!

I also got a similar error a while back.
Make sure that you are not using
<RecyclerView>
tag as it is in your code, and using
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
and that your build.gradle file has the following code
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:22.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.2.1'}
Taking care of these two things fixed the error for me.
If in your case you have done anything else, then please share your code so that I can point to the cause of the error.

I had the save error. After half of an hour I discovered, that recyclerview was not marked as "Library module" in project structure. This setting solved the problem

I encountered the same error today.
I Opened my project structure -> Modules.
Expand the module and select the Android option.
Set the support libraries modules as "Library Module" then it worked
I hope it helps
Project Structure screen shot

After hours of battling this (and trying literally every solution online, what worked for me was:
Close AndroidStudio
Push project to remote
Delete project from local
Clone project again and run
Somehow, the local project got "corrupted"

My HappyBirthday app force closes on my phone

I am currently taking a free online course in Android and we are learning to make a simple output app. My app was working fine until today. I changed the images used in it and the background color of the TextViews, but that's about it. I don't know why the app will no longer run on my phone. (Note 3, Android 5.0 Stock ROM)
Here's my code:
<RelativeLayout

xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:scaleType="centerCrop"
/>
<ImageView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I truly appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance!

It is an OutOfMemoryException as from logs -

I think you have used any/some large sized images (may be in MB) in your res folder.

This error occurs when the layout which has the login button is inflated. It just says null which is making it difficult for me to debug this error. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

You need to call FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(context) before using any SDK features.

I have followed the guide provided by Google (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/mobile/android/) and what should have been a simple swap for the new static jar library has turned into a configuration nightmare trying to track this down to little or no avail.

How did you import the jar file?
First you need to unzip the downloaded zip file, and copy the Jar files from the google-maps-sdk-m4b_lib -> libs folder to Android Studio's libs folder.
See the below image for the completed Jar files path:

After working with a Google representative it appears that this was an issue with the *.jar package for the current 2.12.0.rc1 version.

android:theme not working in layout file

According to this:
Elements in XML layout definitions can specify the android:theme
attribute, which references a theme resource. This attribute modifies
the theme for the element and any child elements, which is useful for
altering theme color palettes in a specific portion of an interface.
Which means we can specify android:theme in layout files. And also if we look at the way Toolbar is used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/green"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.ActionBar" />
It is clear that theme support was added.
Now I am trying this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test"
android:theme="#style/TextViewTheme" />
</LinearLayout>
Where TextViewTheme is:
<style name="TextViewTheme" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColor">#ff0000</item>
</style>
This seems to look perfectly in design editor but at runtime I am getting this exception:

Moreover I looked through Google IO app source code and couldn't find any android:theme inside layout files. Did I misunderstood something?

In case of TextView, rather than android:theme="#style/TextViewTheme" you should use
style="#style/TextViewTheme".
That's because (from http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html):
A theme is a style applied to an entire Activity or application, rather than an individual View (as in the example above). When a style is applied as a theme, every View in the Activity or application will apply each style property that it supports. For example, you can apply the same CodeFont style as a theme for an Activity and then all text inside that Activity will have green monospace font.
I think this replacement can also resolve your problem.
If you want all TextViews looks the same, try to include their style into AppTheme like this:
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<item name="android:textViewStyle">#style/TextViewTheme</item>
</style>
