Help me fix this Android.Views.InflateException

Question

Hi.

I try to use Fingerprint plugin. In PCL project my MainPage derives from Shell and this is a problem. If the MainPage do not derives from Shell than it's ok and I don't have any error.

I have the following error on Build:

Android.Views.InflateException: 'Binary XML file line #1 in com.companyname.app417:layout/flyoutcontent: Binary XML file line #1 in com.companyname.app417:layout/flyoutcontent: Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout'

I had this kind of error before for ToolBar file in Xamarin.Andoird layout folder. I Fixed it by changing the name from android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar to androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar and this solved the issue.
The problem is that I don't have any flyoutcontent file in Xamarin.Android layout folder and cannot rename it.

How can I fix this?

Hello,

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

I Fixed it by changing the name from android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar to androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar and this solved the issue.

The androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar is targeted for higher android version.

You can try to set the android Target Frame to higher version,for example android 10.0(Q) .

Hope it can help you.

Best Regards,
