please refer the following link, i've exactly same issue
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=215183
please help me to fix this
Thanks

Please check solution given in this related SO post by #frieza if it can help.
As suggested, aside from defining layout_height and layout_width attributes shown in the posted codes, you might need to also set parent attribute with parent="android:Theme".
Hope that works for you too.

So say Android Studio

1) Make sure you name your resource "background" and not "Background". It's case-sensitive.
2) If you changed the resource using Windows Explorer and not Android Studio, refresh the project to update the resources.
3) You spelled your drawable folder like this "drawable-hdmi". It should be "drawable-hdpi".
4) Put the resource in "drawable" (default folder) just in case your device's density is mdpi or lower.

Have you tried naming it something else? Also even though you refer to it as background, have you made sure it keeps its .png extension?
Try cleaning and rebuilding your project,invalidate caches and restart.
Finally, open the folder for your app in finder and assure that background.png is in there.

Android Google Maps V2 Error inflating fragment

I've seen dozens of similar problems but none have seemed to fix my issue. I have an app that uses google maps v2 (previously used v1). I imported google-play-services and android-support-v4, and created an activity that extended SupportFragment (also tried just fragment). I added all permissions and my key to the manifest, and created a fragment in my layout folder which defines the map. However, my app crashes every time I call setContentView on my fragment within my activity. I imported android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity and android.support.v4.app.Fragment in this activity, but get an error trying to inflate the fragment. The logcat log is listed below. Thanks in advance!
public class ManualCheckInMapActivity extends android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity {

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.map_fragment);

org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException for "invalid drawable tag bitmap"

Ok, that's weird.
I've received this error for one of my activities, the weird thing is that the bitmap is used in every Activity! I don't even know how to reproduce the exception, it's working fine for me (and others I think).
This is the whole stacktrace:

The "missing" resource is this one (inside drawable folder):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="#drawable/bg"
android:tileMode="repeat" />
The "bg" drawable is inside drawable-hdpi (could be that a problem?), but as I said it's used in every activity as background!
The error is called during the setting of the layout:
setContentView(R.layout.archivio);
The xml layout is this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="BLABLABLA"
android:id="#+id/archivioTextView" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:textIsSelectable="false" android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" android:layout_marginRight="30dp" android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/listaVeicoli" android:layout_gravity="center" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/>
</LinearLayout>
(Some of the useless statements are put by the Designer of IntelliJ!)
I've looked for similar problems but I don't have "strange" id like #+id/list or other problems that other users encuntered..
Any help on this? What am I missing?
Thanks

In the end I've found FINALLY the solution.
I've tried with different emulator and I was having this crash only with API 10 (2.3.3) or less. Looking around the xmls and trying to do different stuff (also copying the bg drawable everywhere, or changing id to my list) I've found this weird stuff in my custom theme:
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/backrepeat</item>
<item name="android:colorBackground">#drawable/backrepeat</item>
This seems to be not a problem for newer android version but for older one yes.
Just remove the colorBackground definition (that maybe should be only a color) and that's it!
I hope this will help someone else!

Create a drawable folder inside res folder.
Try keeping your bg inside "res/drawable/".
Hope this will help you.

Put your selector into the res/drawable folder and also give the Listview id as android:id="#+android:id/list".
I hope it will help you out.
Thanks.

Why is my app trying to use drawable-mdpi/title_bar_shadow.9.png?

The app works fine on HPDI and MDPI, but when run in an LDPI (v2.0) emulator, I get the exception and stack trace below.
Why is it looking for this image? (it's not referenced in my application, I've checked). The starter activity has disabled the title bar in any case.
If the OS expects this image, why is it not present?
Why is the exception relating to an MPDI image, when the emulator is LDPI?

If the OS expects this image, why is it not present?
Why is the exception relating to an MPDI image, when the emulator is LDPI?
If the requested resource (title_bar_shadow.9.png) is not present in drawable-ldpi (and it wasn't until Android 2.3), Android will try to find the best match (drawable-mdpi will be the next folder to search in). Anyway, the file will not be found there either (again, it was not there until Android 2.3). So the next step would be to search for it in drawable-hdpi (where it can be found). But apparently the search stops on drawable-mdpi (which is strange... maybe a bug in Android 2.1? you could try Android 2.2 emulator)
Why is it looking for this image? (it's not referenced in my application, I've checked). The starter activity has disabled the title bar in any case.
This image (shadow) is not used by the title bar. It is displayed UNDER the title bar.
To make it disappear, you have to create your own theme, like this:
<style
name="Theme"
parent="android:Theme.NoTitleBar">
<item
name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
</style>

I solved this problem making a copy of the images from drawable-ldpi/mdip/hdpi to a drawable (only drawable) folder. Put in this folder your low resolution images.
You don't need to have a title_bar_shadow.9.png file on these folders.
