Error inflating class TextView?

Question

I am trying to display an AlertDialog but I am getting below error because of the TextView (code is given below). The dialog works fine when I comment out this TextView code.

Here's the TextView code,

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Enter OTP"
    android:textSize="20dp"
    android:padding="@dimen/min_padding"/>

Here's the Logcat error,

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #0: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class TextView
       Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class TextView
       Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert value at index 14 to dimension: type=0x4

According to the error. The error is in `android:padding="@dimen/min_padding"' this line. kidnly check your dimen.xml, whether the value is in correct format — Jeevanandhan, Nov 07 '17 at 12:58

Check the value of min_padding

You should create dimens.xml in the values folder .And min_padding has value .

Like this .

<resources>
    <dimen name="min_padding">10dp</dimen>
</resources>

Id is missing in textView

I think you are not accessing valid id

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Enter OTP"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:id="@+id/textview"
android:padding="5dp"/>

According to the error, the issue seems to be related to the dimension set to the padding – Eselfar Nov 07 '17 at 12:31
