Floating Action Button causing error and crashing application

Question

When using the floating action button, my Android application crashes and throws an error. When I remove it, my application runs successfully, but I'd rather use the floating action button if I can.

This is my complete error log:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.supriya.hithere/com.example.supriya.hithere.MainActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #32: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton

Make sure you are using AppCompatActivity instead of Activity, and AppCompat theme.

<style name="Base.AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

If you are using any attributes like backgroundTint or borderWidth for the FAB, make sure you are using app namespace.

app:backgroundTint="@color/accent_color"
app:borderWidth="0dp"

I was facing the same issue. Check that the version of appcompat and design library are same in your build.gradle app. Or atleast the version of design library is not older than that of appcompat.

For example:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1'
