Error Inflating CollapsingToolbarLayout

Question

I recently updated the support design library to the latest version and now every activity that has a CollapsingToolbarLayout throws the following exception:

Answer 1

Try updating all of your support libraries to the 24.0.0-beta1 version. Then clean, rebuild and run your project again. That hopefully should fix your problem.

Answer 2

Try updating a com.android.support:design dependency to the same version as other support libraries. I have just resolved this issue in my own project. I did not add it explicitly in my build.gradle since I use a library which uses support-design library. Gradle task androidDependencies showed that support design still had lower version after update of other libraries, so I added it explicitly and it worked like a charm.

I answered a similar post here Error inflating class CollapsingToolbarLayout

I know there is an accepted answer already, BUT it is not working (or no longer working).

I spend a couple of hours researching on this error, what I came up is this.

First, due to initial release of Android Nougat also known as Android 7.0 (API 24) compileSdkVersion 24 is now available. To do that you have to update your sdk. Step 1

Second, is to update your gradle files (internet connection required). Step 2

Also Update this part of app.gradle

Third (optional) Clean Project, Build Project (Both under Build Tab)

I hope this help someone out there and save some few hours of researching.

Cheers / Happy coding

Hope it helps.

Answer 4

Found solution. Just add

app:statusBarScrim="@null"

to your CollapsingToolbarLayout

Answer 5

Turns out I had another dependency that had a conflicting support library. When i removed the dependency, the project built and ran successfully.
