Inflateexception On Inflater.inflate() Method Call

I keep getting an InflateException upon trying to inflate a view in my MenuAdapter class. I've surrounded the troublesome code in a try-catch block and get the error Message: link

Solution 1:

When u get Error inflating your class you have to look for the problem in your XML first.

In your case the problem is in your drawer_list_item layout. In your linearLayout root the "?" character causing it with android:background="?android:color/darker_gray" row.

Solution 2:

Use a ViewHolder

Change your getView to

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){

    ViewHolder vh;
    if(convertView==null)
    {
      vh = new ViewHolder();
      convertView = inflater.inflate(
                R.layout.drawer_list_item, parent, false);  
      vh.txtTitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.title);
      vh.txtSubtitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.subtitle);
      vh.imgIcon = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.icon); 

        convertView.setTag(vh); 
    } else { 
    vh = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag(); 
    } 
    vh.txtTitle.setText(titles[position]);
    vh.txtSubtitle.setText(subtitles[position]);
    vh.imgIcon.setImageResource(icons[position]);

    return convertView;
    }
staticclassViewHolder
{
TextView txtTitle,txtSubtitle;
ImageView imgIcon;
}

Also move the below to constructor. Declare this as a class member LayoutInflater inflater

In your constructor

   inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(
                Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

Edit:

In drawer_list_item.xml

Change

 android:background="?android:color/darker_gray"

to

android:background="@android:color/darker_gray"
