Didn't find class "android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView

Question

I\'m getting this exception when running:

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView

Answer 1

If you do not know which jar file contains the class your are looking for you can use this bash command. On Windows, you can run it if you install Cygwin.

for i in find . -name \*.jar ; do echo $i; jar tvf $i | fgrep $*; done

This should search in the subdirectories and help you find the missing jar file.
