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

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

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

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

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
