My app crashed when inflate the layout in Android 4.4, the error is
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.my.app/com.my.app.ui.splashscreen.SplashScreen}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
I have used androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-beta3 or androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3 and it still crashed. It crashed on android < 5 only, and working fine on android >= 5
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splashscreen);

It is weird because it crashed only on Android < 5
I found that crashed caused by drawable. I have try to use support library
android {
defaultConfig {
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
}
}
and
AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);
in application class, but it still crash. This is my drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:angle="315"
android:centerColor="?attr/theme_primary"
android:endColor="?attr/theme_primaryMiddle"
android:startColor="?attr/theme_primaryLight" />
</shape>
I found my crash is because the gradient, on pre lollipop device it makes crash so I create 2 drawable. The first one is solid color only on drawable folder, and gradient on drawable-v24.
