Android - Android.View.Inflateexception: Binary Xml File Line #8: Error Inflating Class Fragment

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file: Error inflating class fragment

After long time for debugging, I have fixed this problem. (Although I still cannot explain why). That I change property android:name to class. (although on Android Document, they say those properties are same, but it works !!!)

So, it should change from :

 android:name="com.fragment.NavigationDrawerFragment"

class = "com.fragment.NavigationDrawerFragment"

So, new layout should be :

<!-- As the main content view, the view below consumes the entire
     space available using match_parent in both dimensions. -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

<!-- android:layout_gravity="start" tells DrawerLayout to treat
     this as a sliding drawer on the left side for left-to-right
     languages and on the right side for right-to-left languages.
     If you're not building against API 17 or higher, use
     android:layout_gravity="left" instead. -->

<!-- The drawer is given a fixed width in dp and extends the full height of
     the container. -->
<fragment android:id="@+id/navigation_drawer"
    android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_drawer_width"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="start"
    class = "com.fragment.NavigationDrawerFragment" />

Hope this help :)

Error: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class fragment

According to me you can try to inflate your fragment by other methods like this:

add container for fragment in main activity layout. you can simply replace with this

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/black">

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />


<Button
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp" />
</RelativeLayout>

In code you can add in onCreate()

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    container = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.container);
    //set Fragment to activity
    BlankFragment frag = new BlankFragment();
   getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.container,frag).commit();
}

and also you face problem with list id you can refer this link

Hope this will help.

Error inflating class fragment because of an XML file

First of all, change the <fragment tag in you activity_main2.xml file to a FrameLayout because using a FrameLayout is necessary for switching between Fragments. Then use this code in your MainActivity java class:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity  {

   //This will be used to switch between Fragments
   private static FragmentManager fragmentManager;
   private BottomNavigationView bottomNavView;
    

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);

        //Initialize the FragmentManager
        fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();

        //Initialize the BottomNavigationView and add listener to it
        bottomNavView = findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation);
        bottomNavView.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(bottomNavListener);     
    }

    private BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener bottomNavListener = 
new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener(){

       @Override
       public boolean OnNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item){
       
           Fragment selectedFragment = null;

           switch(item.getItemId()){

                 case R.id.{first fragment}:
                     selectedFragment = new {first fragment}();
                     break;

                 case R.id.{second fragment}:
                     selectedFragment = new {second fragment}();
                     break;
                 
                  .
                  .
                  .

                 {Make a case for each of your fragments}
           }

           fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.{id of your FrameLayout}, selectedFragment).commit();

       }
     }; 
}

This should work now.

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file : Error inflating class fragment

After adding permission in manifest, It solved my issue. Check below code :

<uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        android:maxSdkVersion="24" />
<uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        android:maxSdkVersion="24" />

Handle android.view.InflateException: Error inflating class fragment

The error came about because I had not initialized lateinit var adapter: MainAdapter

I initialized this inside onCreateView() and the app did not crash.
