Error inflating class android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android, android-toolbar, xml
Solution
replace your parent theme to @style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar
<style name="AppTheme" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
Problem
I have moved my app from using actionbar to toolbar however end up with the error (full error at bottom). My code: My Activity: ``` public class MapsActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements LocationListener { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps); ... mDrawerLayout.setDrawerListener(mDrawerToggle); toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); if (toolbar != null) { setSupportActionBar(toolbar); getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setHomeButtonEnabled(true); getSupportActionBar().setElevation(0); // or other } ... } ... } ``` v21/style.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <!-- your app's theme inherits from the Material theme --> <style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="windowActionBar">false</item> <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> <!-- Main theme colors --> <!-- your app branding color for the app bar --> <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item> <!-- darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars --> <item

parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="windowActionBar">false</item> <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> </style> </resources> ``` gradle dependency ``` dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3' } ``` my XML layout (after changes made by answer) ``` LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent"
