I\'m wondering if this is actually a bug in the Android API:
I have a setup like so:
┌----┬---------┐
| | |
| 1 | 2 |
| |┌------
I have an application that I am developing that is laid out similar with Tabs in the Action Bar that launches fragments, some of these Fragments have multiple embedded Fragments within them.
I was getting the same error when I tried to run the application. It seems like if you instantiate the Fragments within the xml layout after a tab was unselected and then reselected I would get the inflator error.
I solved this replacing all the fragments in xml with Linearlayouts and then useing a Fragment manager/ fragment transaction to instantiate the fragments everything seems to working correctly at least on a test level right now.
I hope this helps you out.
