My CollapsingToolbarLayout crashes because of Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout.

I updated the android studio last weekend. Before the updated, it works fine. After I updated it, it crashed. However, I tried to downgrade it to 2.0.0 version and it's not working anymore. My coworker has no problem with the CollapsingToolbarLayout. I am not sure what happened.

The error was:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.test.android/com.test.android.ui.activity.RandomActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #22: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout

Here's my CollapsingToolbarLayout:

    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
        >

        <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
            android:id="@+id/collapsing_toolbar"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            <include layout="@layout/layout_page" />

            <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar

        </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <include

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Here's my gradle file:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:customtabs:23.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.4.0'

Do you guys have any idea? Thanks.

I found a solution May it work try it:

add below code in gradle build file

compile ('com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0'){
    force = true;
}

Seems like it is having version conflict issue. All support library must be of same version. However, I didn't use v4 support library before and it works. I don't know why updatimg android studio to 2.1.1 causes the issue. I just force all v4 library to the same as other support libraries.
