Q:

Error inflating class ImageView

I've been getting InflateException/ClassNotFoundException error intermittently. I've seen similar errors before in SO but they were caused by spelling errors. I spelled 'ImageView' correctly so I don't know what's causing the error.
The code where the error occurs is:
v = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.event_show_row_layout, null);

Here's the layout xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

A:

I had the same problem.
my problem has occurred because I just had used images (icons) in the "drawable-v24" folder.
I solved it by copying them into "drawable" folder

A:

I came across this same problem recently and was able to solve it using app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_black_image_24" 
The documentation of appcompat:srcCompatstates that - 

It sets a drawable as the content of this ImageView. Allows the use of vector drawable when running on older versions of the platform.

Hope this helps if anyone stumbles upon the same problem. 

A:

For me , i copy my image to Folder drawable-v24 and compiler didnt find it
Change view of Android studio to project view 

and cut and paste your image to folder drawable
