Use android:src instead of app:srcCompat

thanks this works! but why does app:srcCompat works in some situations? – Mickey Evers Apr 09 '17 at 20:50

`app:srcCompat` is used for backwards compatibility with vector drawables for the support library. Perhaps in other instances you are using `AppCompatImageView`? – Josh Laird Apr 09 '17 at 20:53

But , im using srccompat at many places, and it didn;t fail ! and it fails only at some situation ! why so? is it file specific? And the IDE shows warning to change to srcCompat !! – adi Jan 02 '20 at 03:07
@adi I would recommend starting a new question. I am no longer an Android developer :) – Josh Laird Jan 02 '20 at 10:52

I think You should edit srcCompat to src. src is meant for source and sourceCompat Is for Backwards Compatiblity Of Vector Drawable Files For Android Devices Running On and below ICS -- IceCream Sandwich.

The bigger size of an image could be an issue as well. Resize the image to a smaller size (using paint in windows) and use it, this might work.

Thanks, it worked. I had a large resolution image that was not shown on circular image view. Following your solution, I reduced the image resolution and now it is working. – Rahat Shah Sep 14 '22 at 16:13
