Exception : Android.view.inflateexception: Binary Xml File Line #2: Error Inflating Class Android.support.v7.widget.cardview

I am using CardView of support library in my android app. I tried 4-5 hours to resolve this but i could not get success. I have added CardView as a library in my project & v7 a

Solution 1:

Let import cardview as a library: Go to File -> Import -> Existing Android code into workspace --> Browse (Go to sdk/extras/android/support/v7/cardview) --> Click ok --> Click Finish

Your project explorer will now show cardview as a project.

Right click on cardview project --> Properties --> Android(Left Pane) --> Enable isLibrary (tick the checkbox) --> Apply --> ok

Now Right click on your project --> Properties --> Android(Left pane) --> Add (under library) --> cardview --> apply --> ok

Now right click on your project again --> build path --> configure build path --> Under projects tab, add cardview

You are done. Source

Solution 2:

(for intellij users)

• click in your project,
• right click -> open Module Settings
• import cardview from \sdk\extras\android\support\v7\
• add .jar file to cardview module
• click on your project and give module dependency to cardview
• now, click (+) button on cardview -> android -> at top you will see a check box (library module), enable it.
• click ok and close your settings dialog.
• rebuild your project and run it.

Solution 3:

Support libs that contain resources other than compiled classes (like XMLs) cannot be added as just jars.

Please follow the steps described by this:

Let us now if that works.

Solution 4:

To fix this problem . first you must add cardview from the \sdk\extras\android\support

1. Close the main project.
2. Remove the android-support-v7-appcompat .
3. Restart the Eclipse.
4. Add the android-support-v7-appcompat .
5. Clean,To build the project.
6. Then open the main project and build all the projects.
7. The error still remains. Restart eclipse. That's it.

That works for me.

Solution 5:

Try this..

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/card_view"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp">


</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
