Error inflating class ImageView in android

Question

whenever i hit the imageview i get this error, this happens to me when i switch to test my app on different screen sizes, here is my xml

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/search"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"

        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginEnd="28dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="28dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/search"/>

and here is the error

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
              Process: com.example.ahmed.electionadmin, PID: 30789
              java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.ahmed.electionadmin/com.example.ahmed.electionadmin.Search}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #0: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class ImageView

                  at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method)

I have tried so many solutions that asks me to replace src with srccompat and so on, but still is working, ant help would be appreciated

Then use src only and place png in drawable if you have only one — Khemraj Sharma, Jun 04 '18 at 03:06

To use srcCompat you need to add vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true to your build.gradle file:

 android {  
   defaultConfig {  
     vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true  
    }  
 }

Or you can use src instead of srcCompat to resolve the error.

android:src="@drawable/search"

Replace this:

app:srcCompat="@drawable/search"

With:

android:src="@drawable/search"

Pay attention, not only src with srcCompat, also app with android.

Let me know if it works.

Explanation: You're not using a support library ImageView, but a regular one. app namespace is usually used for support library, same as srcCompat. So you needed to change those 2 things, not just one. That's why merely changing the srcCompat with src yielded no results.
