    mCallBtn = (ImageButton)rootView.findViewById(R.id.call);
    timdura= (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.timeduration); 
    c=mActivity;
    booking_id=mActivity.bookingId;
    drawableStartCall = AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(mActivity,R.drawable.initiate_call_button);
    drawableEndCall =AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(mActivity,R.drawable.end_call_button);
    drawableBckBtn = AppCompatDrawableManager.get().getDrawable(mActivity,R.drawable.bckg_icon);

I know it's been a while but I think that you are using a VectorDrawable as background of your ImageButton in here:

<ImageButton
     android:id="@+id/localVideo"
     android:layout_width="@dimen/icon_width"
     android:layout_height="@dimen/icon_height"
     android:layout_centerVertical="true"
     android:layout_marginRight="14.1dp"
     android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/call"
     android:layout_margin="5dp"
     android:src="@drawable/video_icon"
     android:background="@drawable/bckg_icon />"   <!-- <- here is your problem -->

I figured out that using VectorDrawable as background of TextView, EditText, Button, ImageButton, etc using android:background="..." cause a crash on API 19 and before, Because android:background on older devices is using old APIs and when android tries to inflate your VectorDrawable it can not parse it and crashes. Note that when you are using app:srcCompat as the source image of your ImageView you are using Compat library and there is no problem. For fixing this you can use one of 3 methods:

Use an ImageView behind your view and set its app:srcCompat to your VectorDrawable
Use a custom widget that loads VectorDrawable using Compat library in runtime and sets the background
Use alternative resources to set background of your View to your VectorDrawable in API 21 and above and set it to a BitmapDrawable (png file for example) in lower APIs.

Once I had faced same issue, You can try anyone of the following methods :

Use .png or .jpeg instead of xml, and make sure the drawables are copied to drawable folder ( sometime it copies to drawable(v21) folder and then these images will not be available for API below 21).
Check the same thing for .xml drawables, in which directory it is kept.(You can view directory structure by changing view from Android to Project
Use srcCompat instead of src in xml files. You may need to declare

compile 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:23.4.0'
