Can't use srcCompat for ImageViews in android

Question

I\'m using the Design Support Library 23.2. I\'ve added these lines in my build.gradle as my Gradle Plugin is version 1.5

defaultConfig {
        applicat         


        

Answer 1

Don't

android:srcCompat="@drawable/wallpaper"

Do

app:srcCompat="@drawable/wallpaper"

as it srcCompat attribute is actually defined within AppCompat library.

Important you will need to add appropriate namespace for this.

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

what you are getting it seems like it is just a lint error that can be ignored. I have tried and have the same error, but it is working correctly.

you can use tools:ignore="MissingPrefix" to avoid seeing this error temporarily.
