New Project crashes due to error in inflating class android.support.v7.widget.toolbar

Question

Here is my Logcat error

there is no code in activity class  and this is xml 

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context="com.example.newdemopro.MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

</RelativeLayout>

only appcompat.v7 library is use in this project and it crashes at first start...

i tried it many times from googling but i still don't get it..

when i update my SDK and update android supporting library to latest version then the problem occur in eclipse and now it crashes all the project which are new as wee

How about copying the logcat next time? The important (right) part is missing making it useless. — Eugen Pechanec, Mar 10 '16 at 10:23
The whole text. We only see half of it. "AndroidRuntime" tells us nothing. — Eugen Pechanec, Mar 10 '16 at 10:27
it says error inflating toolbar but your layout xml do not have toolbar. share the right xml — Rajen Raiyarela, Mar 10 '16 at 10:39
Also share your MainActivity even if you say that you have no code in there (it can't be for real, some code must exist in the Activity!) — pleft, Mar 10 '16 at 10:42
ok have to have this question again, with log cat , xml and activity class — Azad chouhan, Mar 10 '16 at 10:45

(What about the Toolbar supplied by appcompat as the default action bar?)

On API 19 missing abc_ic_ab_back_material, which is a vector drawable introduced in appcompat-v7 23.2.

You have 3 options:

a) Go back to 23.1.1 which doesn't use vector compat.

b) Find a way to pass "--no-version-vectors" argument to aapt while building project. This will keep vector drawables even before Lollipop.

c) Move to Android Studio asap. Then follow this https://stackoverflow.com/a/35624744/2444099

d) Update support libs to 23.2.1 which doesn't force you to use vector compat according to http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/index.html.

Version 23.2.1 has been published last night, update to that. It doesn't use vector compat so you should have no issues in this matter. — Eugen Pechanec, Mar 11 '16 at 11:17
