Error inflating class - NestedScrollView - class not found

Question

Running Android Studio 2.1.2, Windows 7.

I replaced a ScrollView with a NestedScrollView and now I'm getting

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class NestedScrollView

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.view.NestedScrollView" on path: /data/app/com.assemblyguide.remote-48.apk

... when I call SetContentView() on that XML file. I did not get it when I had just a ScrollView.

I've tried cleaning, and invalidating the cache and rebuilding. The XML looks like this . . .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<NestedScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    <!-- This linear layout is because the scrollview can have only 1 direct child -->
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</NestedScrollView>

What does this error mean and how do I fix it?

Answer 1

The full class name is android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView. Replace the <NestedScrollView> element with <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView> and it should work fine. Make sure you have the v4 support library in your build.gradle file, too.
