Answer 1

Use android:src="@drawable/doctor" in your ImageView

Answer 2

In Android Studio version 3.0.0 and above, once we try to add images to drawable folder, it will ask you to 'Choose Destination Directory'. At that time, choose drawable instead of drawable-v24.

Keep Coding........ :)

Answer 3

don't paste your image in drawable(v-24), paste it into the drawable folder and clean the project and then run it will work.

Answer 4

As far as I know, this problem occur when we paste image from explorer to drawable folder then it ask weather to copy drawable or drawable-v24 and if you have pasted images in both directory structures, or have one more images with different directory structure then it will show this error, make sure to copy image only in 'drawable' directory structure :)

Answer 5

Some SVGs sources seem to not be fully supported. Add below line within your activity's onCreate() method:

AppCompatDelegate.setCompatVectorFromResourcesEnabled(true);

and make sure you use below as attribute to your ImageView in your xml file: app:srcCompact instead of android:src to define your image.

Answer 6

Solution for this kind of problem: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class ImageView

Solution:

1. Check Your Image Folder, whether the image file is in Drawer or Drawer-24 or not. Example Here

Firebase image file is in Drawer-24

2. If image file is in drawer-24, Right Click the File and select Refactor and then click Move

3. Then remove the word "-24" and Click OK and RUN again.

Like this

DONE.
