Please help on this InflateException when inflating AppCompatImageView

Question

Hi,

I'm working on a Xamarin app with an existing .aar lib. The lib was tested with a native Android demo application, and it works fine with the demo.

But when I invoke it through my Xamarin app, following InflateException was always thrown:

Android.Views.InflateException: 'Binary XML file line #1 in com.radaee.reader:layout/bar_cmd: Binary XML file line #1 in com.radaee.reader:layout/bar_cmd: Error inflating class androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView'

Looks like some dependencies are missing from the Xamarin project, but I've added following dependencies from NuGet:

• Xamarin.AndroidX.AppCompat
• Xamarin.AndroidX.AppCompat.AppCompatResources
• Xamarin.Android.Support.v4

Those are basically what the Android native application used. Could anyone please help on how the issue comes and how should I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

B.R./Alex

Hello,

i've never try this component but after search on 3w i've find you need to initialize the lib with

global.init();
