  • gotomemenuscreen id is not a id for a view in your xml layout – Raghunandan Jun 03 '19 at 05:34
  • raghunandan gotomenuscreen is in the previous activity... when I press the button on the previous activity with id gotomenuscreen the app crashes – Mauro Stancato Jun 03 '19 at 05:36
  • you are not having any button with id gotomenuscreen as @Raghunandan pointed – Jeeva Jun 03 '19 at 05:36
  • It seems issue is at line number 298 in xml file. 'Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #298: Binary XML file line #298: Error inflating class Button Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #298: Error inflating class Button Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Can't find ColorStateList from drawable resource ID #0x7f070075' – Rajiv Ranjan Jun 03 '19 at 05:39
  • It seems some of the color code or resource you are using is not available ... so check at line number 298 in your xml layout file. – Rajiv Ranjan Jun 03 '19 at 05:41
  • Check the resources that are set to android:textColor="" – Dinesh Jun 03 '19 at 05:44

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Can't find ColorStateList from drawable resource ID.

This states that the run time env is not able to find a specific resource.

Probably it has be @drawable/holidays . Check if this is part of your project.

In your XML, you set textColor with a drawable, textColor is expects a color not a drawable :

<Button
     android:id="@+id/holidays"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_gravity="center"
     android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
     android:layout_marginBottom="100dp"
     android:background="@drawable/holidays"
     android:text="@string/holidays_vacaciones"
     android:textColor="@drawable/holidays"
     tools:text="@string/holidays_vacaciones" />
