android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #9: Binary XML file line #9: Error inflating class

Seyinator :

I was looking everywhere but I couldn't find any solution for this error.

I'm using ExoPlayer for live video streaming. And my app crashes every time when I run it. If you can help me I will be happy.

I guess it should be somewhere in the XML file but I can't understand what means all that error. XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

<com.devbrackets.android.exomedia.ui.widget.VideoView
    android:id="@+id/video_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:useDefaultControls="true"/>

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

MainActivity file:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    final ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
    progressDialog.setMessage("Please Wait");
    progressDialog.setCancelable(false);
    progressDialog.show();

    MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
    mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
    videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);

    videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("Here's path"));
    videoView.start();

    videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            progressDialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
  }
}

If you can please explain to me more detailed about this error because if I will face this problem again then I can fix it easily.

Edit: Guys thank you, everyone! I fixed this problem.

Solutions:

VideoView videoView = findViewById(R.id.video_view);
And I changed path for VideoView according to my packageName.

S.Ambika :

Please check whether

<com.devbrackets.android.exomedia.ui.widget.VideoView
android:id="@+id/video_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:useDefaultControls="true"/>

path for VideoView is correct according to your packageName.
