Error inflating class android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip

I am trying to run an application using the ViewPager item which is in the android.support.v4.view.ViewPager. This works great, so next I want to add the top items to it using the android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip. This throws an error when I want to run it on the emulator. The error is:

Binary XML file line #12: Error inflating class android.support.v4.view.PagerTabStrip

I've change the version of the emulators to google api's and no difference. I have also tried adding the user-lib to the manifest but that won't deploy it either. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm running it under Intellij as well not eclipse.

Solution

  • Ahhh, got it. What I have done is removed the maven version of the file and added it to the library directly from the androidsdk directory. There is probably a way of including it in the files but I can't work it out.

    It also needs to be a child of the ViewPager.

    Strange the viewpager works without this setting.
