Activity doesn't start on Android 6 and not really good at Android 7

Question

I can't find my mistake. On Android 9 or 10 it works perfectly, but not on Android 6. On Andorid 7 and 8 ist works sometimes.

Target SDK is 29 and Min SDK Version is 22.

Without the image, the App starts. The imagesize is only 12 KB, png file format.

My Code:

My MainActivity

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
//import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

import de.suppenfisch.abfahrtskontrolleink.R;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

    private Button buttonmain01;
    private Button buttonmain02;
    private Button buttonmain03;

    private long backButtonCount;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        final Activity mainActivity = this;
        mainActivity.setTitle(R.string.actionbar_name);

        buttonmain01 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonfragen);
        buttonmain01.setOnClickListener(this);

        buttonmain02 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonlosungen);
        buttonmain02.setOnClickListener(this);

        buttonmain03 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonthemengebiete);
        buttonmain03.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        Intent intent = new Intent();

        switch (v.getId()) {

        case R.id.buttonfragen:
            intent.setClass(MainActivity.this, Karten.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            break;

        case R.id.buttonlosungen:
            intent.setClass(MainActivity.this, KartenLosungen.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            break;

        case R.id.buttonthemengebiete:
            intent.setClass(MainActivity.this, Themengebiet.class);
            startActivity(intent);
            break;
        }

    }

    @Override
    public void onBackPressed()
    {
        if(backButtonCount >= 1)
        {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
            intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
            intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
        else
        {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Nochmal tippen, um die App zu beenden.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            backButtonCount++;
        }
    }
}

This is my activity_main.xml

Does this answer your question? [Error inflating class ImageView](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16698313/error-inflating-class-imageview) — Martin Zeitler, Apr 10 '21 at 11:53
It reads: `Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource "de.suppenfisch.abfahrtskontrolleink:drawable/logo512v3" (7f0700b9) is not a Drawable (color or path): TypedValue{t=0x1/d=0x7f0700b9 a=-1 r=0x7f0700b9}` ...while `android.support` hints for, that you are building against outdated libraries. — Martin Zeitler, Apr 10 '21 at 11:54

The definition of drawables changes and has been expanded with newer versions of Android. Certain tags/attributes that you use to define them are not supported in older versions of Android.

In a nutshell, scale down your drawable and/or remove and unnecessary tags and attributes and work from there. A common problem for this error is the rounded tag used in drawable shapes - the rounded tag was added in either Android 8 or Android 7.

You can read a similar discussion here,

app is working on android 7 and 8 but not working on android 5 and 6

Activity doesn't start on Android 6 and not really good at Android 7
