activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <Button

Main Activity.java

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

When I delete the ImageView the app works just fine. I have tried everything resizing the image and reinstalling android studio.

Can anyone figure out the problem?

Answer 1

Change this :

  <ImageView
        ...
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/download" />

To this:

<ImageView
        ...
        android:src="@drawable/download" />

UPDATE

Check the drawable directory, probably your drawable is in other folders like drawable-large , drawable-xxhdpi , etc. then clean and rebuild your project

Answer 2

Image resolution/dimension is the problem. Just check and change the resolution/dimension of the image file to a suitable size for mobile phones. I faced the same problem.

Answer 3

You may messed up with difference between "@+id" and "@id". Try to correct this line of that ImageView in your activity_main.xml

app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/button2"

into

app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/button2"

and retry.

Answer 4

Use PNG or SVG image as the source of your imageView. And change the below line:

app:srcCompat="@drawable/download"

To:

android:src="@drawable/download"

Answer 5

Make sure your image name has no spaces in between and starts with a small case letter.in additon save it in drawable folder instead of drawable(24) otherwise it reports error 90% of the time.

Answer 6

Essentially you need to do a trial and eror by following below mentioned steps:

• Try New Project and add you Image first or whatever it may be and then run the emulator.
• If it is working, then start adding textView, buttons and other required objects to your activity and run your emulator at every instance you are adding items.
• If everything works fine, add code to your Main activity from old project and add all the changes.

It should Run fine. I actually tried this for one of my projects where I was facing a similar issue and it worked.
