Android Question Error inflating class android.support.v7.internal.widget.FitWindowsLinearLayout

[Jshco]

Hello,

Sorry to bother you, i'm very debutant on B4A. I take back a project coded by a developer who let me down because he had other works.

The app work good but i want to compile it to do small modifications. He send me the codes sources but i block on one error :

The app compiled correctly :

B4A version: 6.31
Parsing code. (0.53s)
Compiling code. (1.74s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.14s)
Compiling debugger engine code. (3.68s)
Running previous successful shell app. (1.37s)
Tip: Choose Tools - Clean project if you want to connect to a different device.
Completed successfully.

But i've this bug when i lunch it on the AVD :

** Service (starter) Create **
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = true **

B4A doesn't use android.support.v7 internally. The problem is with one of the libraries in your project. You need to provide more information about your project.

Thank you very much for your answer Erel.

You must have right, because i'm a little confused about some AdditionalRes in the code. It seems that the developer used the AdditionalRes belows with res files :

C:\android\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res, android.support.v7.appcompat
C:\Android\extras\android\support\design\res, android.support.design
C:\Android\extras\android\support\v7\recyclerview\res, android.support.v7.recyclerview
C:\android\extras\android\support\v7\cardview\res

whereas in my computer there are in this folder in a different format.
C:\Android\extras\android\m2repository\com\android\support

So i create the folders C:\android\extras\support\v7\... to match with the code but i don't know which files i've to put in there

Thanks your help !

 

[Erel]

Assuming that you are using B4A v6+:

1. Remove all the #AdditionalRes lines.
2. Add:

#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:recyclerview-v7
#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:cardview-v7
#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:appcompat-v7
#AdditionalJar: com.android.support:design

I did it and the app compiled successfully more quickly but i still i have the same error

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.xxxxxx.
xxxx/com.xxxx.xxx.mchooseclub}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #17: Binary XML file line #17: Error inflating class android.support.v7.internal.widget.FitWindowsLinearLayout

Do you think that i can resolve the problem with the forum or i should try to find a B4A coder to check the code directly on my computer ?

Thank you very much!

Hard to say. The best way to solve it is by creating a small project based on the same libraries that produces this error. You should then upload the small project.

 

[Jshco]

Unfortunatly i don't think i've the skills to do that, i don't know the libraries enough

Do you have an idea about which librarie can cause this error ?

I might copy the AdditionalRes or AdditionalJar declared in the Main part ?

Sorry but no.

It will not help.

 

[Jshco]

Alright, thank you very much for your time Erel !

I'll put an offer to try to find a b4a developer and order a support mission to help me to compile the codes sources on my PC

I´ve not much time... But if you have teamviewer installed i could connect to your pc to check.

Make sure to open:
- The android sdk installer
- Your b4a project
- A Windows explorer with the projectfolder open
