E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main, causing Android App Crash

Question

I'm running my android app and it crashes when i use an image, @drawable/image, (image size is 48kb) but when i use the @mipmap/ic_launcher it runs. I want to be able to use images of my choice when developing.

I have searched for simpler errors here and from other sites but I'm not getting a solid fix.

How do i solve the error.

This is the Error Message

Check Your `@drawable/kenya` – Tejas Pandya Mar 15 '19 at 06:34 — Tejas Pandya, Mar 15 '19 at 06:34
in which drawable you have stored that image ? – Tejas Pandya Mar 15 '19 at 06:53 — Tejas Pandya, Mar 15 '19 at 06:53

If you see your log clearly then you will find the exception:

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path)

That means the image you are providing may be in different drawble folder for ex drawable-v24(only for api>=24, but not for api<24) that's why your app is unable to find that image, so you need to copy that image to your drawable folder, to do this first you have to open project view structure then go through:

Project->app->src->main->res-> here you will see different drawable folder

  <ImageView
    android:layout_width="350dp"
    android:layout_height="300dp"
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:src="@drawable/kenya"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textView"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

In this code block, please check kenya is in drawable folders. Because in stacktrace that Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path): TypedValue{t=0x1/d=0x7f060058 a=-1 r=0x7f060058}

it is in the drawable folder. – kihiuFrank Mar 15 '19 at 07:15 — kihiuFrank, Mar 15 '19 at 07:15

You need to change android:src to app:srcCompat. Also take a look to this question: Android: What is the difference between app:srcCompat=" " and android:src=" "?
