Android: Binary XML file line Error inflating class

Question

I've been trying to load a list of records from a database to a screen but there seems to be a problem when the app gets the data and tries to display it on the screen. I read that sometimes this type of error is thrown when displaying large images and such but I have no images and tried some other solutions I've read about. Any input is appreciated!

            </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

Since I'm not really sure where the error is happening, I'm not sure what piece of code to post -and I don't want to make this unreadable.

For other devs this is also cause by xml fonts stackoverflow.com/a/47987602/5710872 — Qamar

Currenty you are setting ?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium to android:textSize.
You should replace the attribute with android:textAppearance.

Change

android:textSize="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"

TO

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"

OR

Set direct value to android:textSizelike

android:textSize="10sp"

It works well but I don't know why "android:textSize="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" is wrong...?

Sujay Over a year ago

@TeachMeJava textSize is expecting a size value(px, dp, sp, in and mm). "?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" is combination of Base text color, typeface, size, and style. So we cannot use it for textsize.

It seems that you are getting the Exception for bellow line of your <TextView/>.

 android:textSize="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"

Try with

android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
