In Android I got following Error in the emulator and some mobile device but not in Tablet:

I can't understand what is the error actually?

I have searched many tutorials but can't find any solution.

Please help me to solve this.

Note: In this application, I have used ActionbarSherlock and theme, may i got because of that library or any other problem?

My Error Log is:

And also I have a custom theme file:

In values folder named styles_apptheme.xml and styles_myactionbar.xml, In values-v11 folder named styles_apptheme.xml, In values-v14 folder named styles_myactionbar.xml

What should I change?

After 2 days I found the solution; from the layout as defined in my question, I have a Spinner which is bound with a custom TextView:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/listTextViewSpinner"
    ...
    android:textSize="@dimen/spinner_list_item_text_size"
    ... />

Here, I have an extracted dimension resource: @dimen/spinner_list_item_text_size.

This has been defined in dimens.xml in the following directories:

  • values-sw600dp
  • values-sw720dp-land

but crucially I forgot to define it in

  • values

After defining the resource (@dimen/spinner_list_item_text_size) in values/dimens.xml,it works successfully.
