android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class <unknown>

I'm getting this error when I try to make an intent to a new AppCompatActivity but only in older Android APIs like 16, 22 or 23. In the new ones like API 26, it works correctly.

This is the log:

The third line of this is where the exception's thrown:

@Override
public MensajeriaAdapter.MensajesViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.card_view_mensajes,parent,false);

}

This is the layout:

And this is the cardViews I'm using in the Recyclerview of the layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@color/colorWhiteTransparent"
        card_view:cardElevation="0dp">
        <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/mensajeBG"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:background="@drawable/out_message_bg"
            android:orientation="vertical">
            <TextView

                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:maxWidth="240sp"
                android:text="hola, qué tal?" />
            <TextView

                android:text="12:00 pm"
                android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"/>
        </LinearLayout>
    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>

The Adapter class:

 public class MensajeriaAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<MensajeriaAdapter.MensajesViewHolder> {

    private List<MensajeDeTexto> mensajeDeTextos;
    private Context context;

    public MensajeriaAdapter(List<MensajeDeTexto> mensajeDeTextos, Context context) {
        this.mensajeDeTextos = mensajeDeTextos;
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    public MensajeriaAdapter.MensajesViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.card_view_mensajes,parent,false);
        return new MensajeriaAdapter.MensajesViewHolder(v);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(MensajeriaAdapter.MensajesViewHolder holder, int position) {

        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rl = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) holder.cardView.getLayoutParams();
        FrameLayout.LayoutParams fl = (FrameLayout.LayoutParams) holder.mensajeBG.getLayoutParams();

        LinearLayout.LayoutParams llMensaje = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) holder.TvMensaje.getLayoutParams();
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams llHora = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) holder.TvHora.getLayoutParams();

        if(mensajeDeTextos.get(position).getTipoMensaje()==1){//EMISOR
            holder.mensajeBG.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.in_message_bg);
            rl.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT,0);
            rl.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);

        }else if(mensajeDeTextos.get(position).getTipoMensaje()==2){//RECEPTOR
            holder.mensajeBG.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.out_message_bg);
            rl.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT,0);
            rl.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
            llMensaje.gravity = Gravity.LEFT;
            llHora.gravity = Gravity.LEFT;
            fl.gravity = Gravity.LEFT;
            holder.TvMensaje.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
        }

        holder.cardView.setLayoutParams(rl);
        holder.mensajeBG.setLayoutParams(fl);
        holder.TvMensaje.setLayoutParams(llMensaje);
        holder.TvHora.setLayoutParams(llHora);

        holder.TvMensaje.setText(mensajeDeTextos.get(position).getMensaje());
        holder.TvHora.setText(mensajeDeTextos.get(position).getHoraDelMensaje());
        if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) holder.cardView.getBackground().setAlpha(0);
        else holder.cardView.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context,android.R.color.transparent));
    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return mensajeDeTextos.size();
    }

    static class MensajesViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

        CardView cardView;
        LinearLayout mensajeBG;
        TextView TvMensaje;
        TextView TvHora;

        MensajesViewHolder(View itemView){
            super(itemView);
            cardView = (CardView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.cvMensaje);
            mensajeBG = (LinearLayout) itemView.findViewById(R.id.mensajeBG);
            TvMensaje = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.msTexto);
            TvHora = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.msHora);
        }
    }
}

Anyone knows what could be the problem?

Solution

  • You already have a context in your adapter class. Then why you try to get context from parent view?

    Try this 

    View v = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.card_view_mensajes,parent,false);
    return new MensajeriaAdapter.MensajesViewHolder(v);

    Instead of 

    View v = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.card_view_mensajes,parent,false);
    return new MensajeriaAdapter.MensajesViewHolder(v);

    Another: Please try to use a solid color instead of using android:background="@drawable/out_message_bg" on layout background.
