Binary XML file line #10: Error inflating class

Question

I'm getting a crash related to XML inflation but the stack trace is not pointing me to any particular reason. The crash happens when I'm trying to show a dialog. Could it have anything to do with the drawable resource I'm setting as a background? The image is 9-patch.

LogCat:

I'm confused about the reason for the crash. It occured once on an Android 4.1 phone and is non-reproducible. Any ideas?

Can I safely assume that the memory is an out of memory crash since it's not reproducible and is happening on a lower end phone? — Mallika Khullar, Jun 30 '16 at 12:09
Just try to reduce the image size and tray again it might work... — Keyur Lakhani, Jun 30 '16 at 12:10

" android:stateListAnimator="@null"" from my understandings this is available only from api 21. And hence this will cause crash in lower devices .Run the code after removing it. — Sunil Sunny, Jun 30 '16 at 12:46

I think you have image (drawable-v24) in your drawable file, just remove it and add it as drawable not drawable-v24

There is line android:background="@drawable/pressed" in your code and it's 5 time repeating in your code. so you have 2 options to solve this.

Place pressed.xml in your drawable folder. Remove android:background="@drawable/pressed" line from your xml file.

Binary XML file line #10: Error inflating class
