Error inflating class ImageView

I've been getting InflateException/ClassNotFoundException error intermittently. I've seen similar errors before in SO but they were caused by spelling errors. I spelled 'ImageView' correctly so I don't know what's causing the error.

The code where the error occurs is:

v = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.event_show_row_layout, null);

Here's the layout xml:

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