Getting the error android.view.InflateException for the Android Cropper - android-layout

Question

I am trying to use the android cropper library at https://github.com/edmodo/cropper . I have imported the 'cropper.jar' file properly in the libs folder as well.
But, when I'm trying to use the custom view CropImageView (this is defined in the cropper library in the package com.edmondo.cropper.CropImageView) in my XML layout:
<com.edmodo.cropper.CropImageView
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/CropImageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
I am getting the error:

I have gone through many questions regarding the same issue, but none of the answers could help me solve the problem. It would be great if somebody can help me out with the issue.

Answer 1

i get the same error today (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.edmodo.cropper.R$styleable) but i build the 'cropper.jar' from source using Android Gradle Plugin. Although we maybe in different troubles, hope my finding can give you a hint:
go to the output folder: {your-module-dir}/build/generated/source/r/release/com/edmodo/cropper/R.java and see whether the missing class is present.
check the build system config and find out why the class is missing (e.g. check other work libs' output folder and find out the differences).
finally i find out i use the wrong applicationId in gradle build file, so the generated R.java is placed in the wrong package (com.edmonod.R.java not com.edmonod.cropper.R.java).

Answer 2

I was getting the same issue and in my case,It was the old cropper library I was using before adding "com.edmodo.cropper" library.What actually happening is when we add this library to gradle,It picks up some files from the Old cropper with same name.Resulting the issue was faced.As soon as i removed the old cropper library,Everything works fine.

Answer 3

At the example the definition at XML file is as follows:
com.edmodo.cropper.CropImageView
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/CropImageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
custom:imageResource="#drawable/butterfly"
I had the same error when I add custom:imageResource="#drawable/butterfly". I solved it when I removed it, but adding on code:
// Initialize components
cropImageView = (CropImageView) findViewById(R.id.CropImageView);
cropImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.butterfly);
