I am currently integrating Twilio Video with my AIR application. When I try Twilio VideoView in my activity layout, its giving error "Error inflating class com.twilio.video.VideoView"
Here is my layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.nethram.videoextn.views.MainActivity">
<Button
android:id="@+id/testBtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="clickHandler"
android:text="@string/click" />
<com.twilio.video.VideoView
android:id="@+id/videoView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
I decompiled the jar file which is used to generate the ane extension file to check if Twilio video package is included or not. Twilio video packages are included in the jar file generated.
Here is the error I got

Any Idea how this can be solved. Found some answers on error type but non of these helped me out
Previously I was using AIR SDK version 16, old SDK versions doesn't have android v7 appcompat support while Twilio video SDK uses latest v7 support.
So after upgrading AIR SDK version to latest(currently v.29), I can integrate twilio VideoView in my layout.
