Binary XML file line : Error inflating class 错误分析

Binary XML file #33 in com.xxx.xxx/activity_main:Error inflating class view

从源码上分析一下这个错误的原因：

先看下这个错误抛出异常的代码
final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + name, e);

attrs.getPositionDescription()的解释如下：
Returns a description of the current position of the attribute set.For instance, if the attribute set is loaded from an XML document,the position description could indicate the current line number.
return A string representation of the current position in the set,
may be null.

情况分析：
这个错误的大部分情况会在res文件夹下抛出，加载布局文件一般是setContentView或者inflate ，都会调用inflate方法

public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root) {
        return inflate(resource, root, root != null);
}

inflate中会调用私有的inflate方法，这个方法中会加载资源，并获得XmlResourceParser，一个xml解析器

public View inflate(@LayoutRes int resource, @Nullable ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot) {
        final Resources res = getContext().getResources();
        if (DEBUG) {
            Log.d(TAG, "INFLATING from resource: \"" + res.getResourceName(resource) + "\" ("
                    + Integer.toHexString(resource) + ")");
        }

        final XmlResourceParser parser = res.getLayout(resource);
        try {
            return inflate(parser, root, attachToRoot);
        } finally {
            parser.close();
        }
    }

接下来在inflate方法中会调用

final View temp = createViewFromTag(root, name, inflaterContext, attrs);

最终createViewFromTag方法，可以看到是在加载一些属性或者资源文件的时候可能抛出异常

* Creates a view from a tag name using the supplied attribute set.
* <p>
* <strong>Note:</strong> Default visibility so the BridgeInflater can
* override it.
*
* @param parent the parent view, used to inflate layout params
* @param name the name of the XML tag used to define the view
* @param context the inflation context for the view, typically the
*                {@code parent} or base layout inflater context
* @param attrs the attribute set for the XML tag used to define the view
* @param ignoreThemeAttr {@code true} to ignore the {@code android:theme}
*                        attribute (if set) for the view being inflated,
*                        {@code false} otherwise


 View createViewFromTag(View parent, String name, Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
            boolean ignoreThemeAttr) {
        if (name.equals("view")) {
            name = attrs.getAttributeValue(null, "class");
        }

        // Apply a theme wrapper, if allowed and one is specified.
        if (!ignoreThemeAttr) {
            final TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, ATTRS_THEME);
            final int themeResId = ta.getResourceId(0, 0);
            if (themeResId != 0) {
                context = new ContextThemeWrapper(context, themeResId);
            }
            ta.recycle();
        }

        if (name.equals(TAG_1995)) {
            // Let's party like it's 1995!
            return new BlinkLayout(context, attrs);
        }

        try {
            View view;
            if (mFactory2 != null) {
                view = mFactory2.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
            } else if (mFactory != null) {
                view = mFactory.onCreateView(name, context, attrs);
            } else {
                view = null;
            }

            if (view == null && mPrivateFactory != null) {
                view = mPrivateFactory.onCreateView(parent, name, context, attrs);
            }

            if (view == null) {
                final Object lastContext = mConstructorArgs[0];
                mConstructorArgs[0] = context;
                try {
                    if (-1 == name.indexOf('.')) {
                        view = onCreateView(parent, name, attrs);
                    } else {
                        view = createView(name, null, attrs);
                    }
                } finally {
                    mConstructorArgs[0] = lastContext;
                }
            }

            return view;
        } catch (InflateException e) {
            throw e;

        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
            ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
            throw ie;

        } catch (Exception e) {
            final InflateException ie = new InflateException(attrs.getPositionDescription()
                    + ": Error inflating class " + name, e);
            ie.setStackTrace(EMPTY_STACK_TRACE);
            throw ie;
        }
    }

所以这个遇到这个错误还是要好好检查你的属性或者资源文件
补充
setContentView方法调用inflate

public void setContentView(int resId) {
        this.ensureSubDecor();
        ViewGroup contentParent = (ViewGroup)this.mSubDecor.findViewById(16908290);
        contentParent.removeAllViews();
        LayoutInflater.from(this.mContext).inflate(resId, contentParent);
        this.mOriginalWindowCallback.onContentChanged();
}
