android:src

Sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView.It will display in its original size. No automatic scaling .

Remove line

app:srcCompat="@drawable/lebronjames"

and change with

android:src="@drawable/lebronjames"

and put your image in Drawable folder not Drawable-v24

Please read this Answer you will get the solution

this error is caused in end line of your xml code because you are using app:srcCompat="@drawable/lebronjames", change srcCompat property only to src or change ImageView to appCompatImageView
