Android < sdk 21 giving InflateException

Question

I'm using a state list drawable to select and deselect an item row inside a RecyclerView but it throws me an exception on < 21 devices.

Style:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/my_color</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/my_color</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/my_color</item>
  </style>

My item layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="68dp"
    android:background="@drawable/item_sound"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

  </LinearLayout>

Selector drawable drawable/item_sound.xml:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:drawable="@color/my_color" android:state_selected="true" />
  <item android:drawable="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground" android:state_selected="false" />
</selector>

Exception:

I think that is related to <item android:drawable="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground" android:state_selected="false" /> but I can't find why

Why?

-------- EDIT -----------

Already tried with "?attr/selectableItemBackground"and "?android:attr/selectableItemBackground" and nothing.

Could you post the XML that loads a `FrameLayout`? Unless `FrameLayo` is your problem — mbmc, Nov 13 '15 at 20:28

I ended up creating a drawable for v21 and another for < 21.

attributes in selectors didn't exist prior to API 21. At all. You can certainly create two different selectors, one in drawable and one in drawable-v21
