Can not set a selector to background of RadioButton

Question

I got a strange error when I try to set a selector to background of RadioButton.
My layout is simply:

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:id="@+id/viewpager"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:layout_weight="1" />

<RadioGroup
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/rbtnPhoto"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@drawable/icon_photo_selector" />

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/rbtnTagline"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@drawable/icon_tagline_selector" />

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/rbtnTranslator"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@drawable/icon_translator_selector"/>

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/rbtnDiscount"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:background="@drawable/icon_discount_selector" />
</RadioGroup>

And my selector is:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_photo_selected" android:state_checked="true"></item>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_photo_unselected" android:state_checked="false"></item>

</selector>

Above drawables are nine path images. I alway get the exception which is "android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line". But the layout can be inflate if I change a selector by an image.
Please help me to resolve it.
Updated:
My images are nice patch images
Here is my logs:

You forgot the <selector>-tags:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_photo_selected" android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_photo_unselected" android:state_checked="false" />
</selector>

I think this should fix your problem

Change your selector to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    
<item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_photo_selected" android:state_checked="true"></item> 
<item android:drawable="@drawable/icon_photo_unselected" android:state_checked="false"></item> 
</selector>

The selector tags seems to be missing

IS your code working for normal images other than 9-patch ones ? – Aakash Dec 09 '13 at 09:08
