Upgrading to SDK 21 - Error inflating class android.support.v7.internal.widget.ActionBarContainer

Question

I\'m trying to upgrade my app from API19 to API21

The main changes I\'ve made to the gradle properties are:

compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion \"         


        

Answer 1

I had similar issue, i'm using AppCompat.v21 and supporting Android 5.0.

My layout uses the ?attr/[attribute_name] for some values and I use the activity context.

I changed it to ?android:attr/[attribute_name] and now my views inflate just fine on devices running Android 5.0.
