One thing to double-check is that you have applied your theme correctly in your AndroidManifest xml file  In my case  I had omitted the android theme attribute  E g    lt application     android theme   style Your Theme Here       gt

I had the same problem after upgrading the support library and none of the answers worked for me  Finally I solved downloading latest version of build tools and upgrading in build gradle to buildToolsVersion  23 0 1

Make sure your drawables for the menu are in the correct folder  mine where put in drawablev21 hence this caused a nullpointer to the resource   Fixed it buy moving my icons to drawables folder

Generic way of solving issues like Error inflating class X    check cause stack trace and there should be Resources NotFoundException like this     Caused by  android content res Resources NotFoundException  Resource ID  0x7f0b0066     at android content res ResourcesImpl getValue ResourcesImpl java 190      at android content res Resources loadXmlResourceParser Resources java 2094      at android content res Resources getLayout Resources java 1111      at android view LayoutInflater inflate LayoutInflater java 424      Resource ID is actually exact integer from generated R java file  Find 0x7f0b0066 which will point to the xml file which could not be inflated found   In most cases that s because directory layout doesn t have this resource  but some layout-XXX has  And solution is to put resource into all required directories  Or just at least into layout

Actually it is not the matter of the primarycolortext  upgrading or downgrading the dependencies This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn t match    Example of matching condition  compile  com android support appcompat-v7 23 1 1     appcompat library compile  com android support design 23 1 1          design support library

I was facing this error in Xamarin  This was due to some files that were present in drawable-v21 folder  So I copied those files  probably icon files  to the drawable folder and the error was gone

This error can be caused due to reasons as mentioned below    This problem will likely occur when the version of your appcompat library and design support library doesn t match  Example of matching condition   compile  com android support appcompat-v7 24 2 0     appcompat library   compile  com android support design 24 2 0    design support library  If your theme file in styles have only these two     lt item name  colorPrimary  gt  4A0958 lt  item gt    lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  4A0958 lt  item gt     then add ColorAccent too  It should look somewhat like this     lt style name  AppTheme Base  parent  Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar  gt      lt item name  colorPrimary  gt  4A0958 lt  item gt     lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  4A0958 lt  item gt     lt item name  colorAccent  gt  4A0958 lt  item gt     lt  style gt

BETTER I UPGRADED com android support appcompat-v7 23 1 0  as  Ton said downgrade compile  com android support design 23 1 0   BUT Why not to upgrade com android support appcompat-v7 23 1 1  Final upgraded worked for me enjoy  compile  com android support appcompat-v7 23 1 1  compile  com android support design 23 1 1    So why to use older library  I think is now better to use both design and compact upgraded

For me  I encountered this error many times    Error inflating class android support design widget NavigationView  28 and  29  The solution that works for me is that you must match your support design library and your support appcompat library   compile  com android support appcompat-v7 23 1 1   compile  com android support design 23 1 1   For me they must match     It works for me

Following below steps will surely remove this error    Find the widget causing the error  Go the layout file where that widget is declared  Check for all the resources  drawables etc   used in that file  Then make sure that resource is there in all versions of drawables  drawable-v21 drawable etc     Cheers

Well So I was trying to fix this error  And none worked for me  I was not able to figure out solution  Scenario   I was just going to made a Navigation Drawer Project inside Android Studio 2 1 2 And when I try to change the default Android icon in nav header main xml I was getting some weird errors  I figured out that I was droping my PNG logo into the     app src main res drawable-21  When I try to put my PNG logo in     app src main res drawable bam  All weird errors go away   Following are some of stack trace when I was putting PNG into drawable-21 folder   08-17 17 29 56 237 6644-6678

None of the above fixes worked for me   What worked for me was changing   lt item name  android textColorSecondary  gt  FFFFFF lt  item gt    to   lt item name  android textColorSecondary  gt  color colorWhite lt  item gt    You obviously need to add colorWhite to your colors xml

I had similar error  When i use    lt style name  AppTheme Base  parent  Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar  gt        lt item name  colorPrimary  gt  673AB7 lt  item gt       lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  512DA8 lt  item gt       lt item name  colorAccent  gt  00BCD4 lt  item gt       lt item name  android textColorPrimary  gt  212121 lt  item gt       lt item name  android textColorSecondary  gt  727272 lt  item gt    lt  style gt    works for me when i remove the android textColorPrimary and android textColorSecondary theme items    lt style name  AppTheme Base  parent  Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar  gt        lt item name  colorPrimary  gt  673AB7 lt  item gt       lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  512DA8 lt  item gt       lt item name  colorAccent  gt  00BCD4 lt  item gt    lt  style gt    Try working with a very simple App theme to start off with   EDIT   This tutorial will help  My understanding is that using  android textColorPrimary  requires minimum api level 21  Using the same tag without  android   uses the design support library  Any support library widget will try to find the  textColorPrimary  item instead of  android textColorPrimary  and if it fails to find the same it throws the above mentioned error

I had the same error  I resolved it by adding app itemTextColor   color a color  to my navigation view       lt android support design widget NavigationView     android id    id navigation view      android layout width  wrap content      android layout height  match parent      android layout gravity  left      app headerLayout   layout layout drawer header      app menu   menu drawer menu      app itemTextColor   color primary   gt    You can still use android textColorPrimary and android textColorSecondary in your theme with this method

In my case  I had the same error when I run the app in kitkat API 19 version device  I figured out the problem  I had some drawable resources which was in the drawable-v21 directory  Which is used for versions from API 21 Lollipop   I just put the same resources in the  Drawable  folder to work with the version below API 21  It works  You can put it on the corresponding directory

As Parag Naik correctly mentions  and L ng Ho  ng expands on   the problem arises when setting textColorPrimary to something other than a color state list   So you could set textColorPrimary as a state list  There is an issue in the android bug tracker about colorPrimary being a state list with only one color  https   code google com p android issues detail id 172353  So for your theme in styles xml    lt style name  Base Theme Hopster  parent  Theme AppCompat Light NoActionBar  gt       lt item name  colorPrimary  gt  color primary lt  item gt       lt item name  colorPrimaryDark  gt  color primary dark lt  item gt       lt item name  colorAccent  gt  color accent lt  item gt        lt item name  android textColorPrimary  gt  color primary color statelist lt  item gt   lt  style gt    And the actual primary color statelist xml file    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt selector xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt       lt  -- This is used when the Navigation Item is checked -- gt       lt item android color   color primary text selected  android state checked  true    gt       lt  -- This is the default text color -- gt       lt item android color   color primary text    gt   lt  selector gt
