I know you'll have seen this question before. I know I have :-). But still, combing all the answers I have found I still get the inflating class error. My layout has an extended webView as I want to be able to swipe left and right in order to load previous and next html pages. I include the entire layout as I find that most of the answers I have found present a solution in a somewhat abstract manner dealing with just the webView and not as a part of a larger picture. Hopefully when this is answered it will help others to get the bigger picture as well.
The scrollview at the bottom wil contain buttons as an alternative means of navigating the html pages. The view imageView2 will contain a transparent header partly obscuring the underlying webView. The textView helloText will display the chapter titles. I had all of this working until I had to extend the webView to deal with the left right swipes.
Here's the layout xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.example.test.MyWebView
android:id="@+id/webView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<View
android:id="@+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#88FF0000"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/helloText"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.05"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="Hello World" />
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="@+id/horizontalScrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.15"
android:background="#0000FF" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="110dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:background="#00FF00" />
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
and this is the code:

import android.util.Log;
import android.view.GestureDetector;

if (currentPage >= 19) currentPage = 19;
changePage(currentPage);
} else if(event1.getRawX() < event2.getRawX() && StrictMath.abs(event1.getRawY()-event2.getRawY())<100){
show_toast("swipe right");
currentPage -= 1;
if (currentPage <= 1) currentPage = 1;
changePage(currentPage);
} else {
return false;
}
return true;
}
};
void show_toast(final String text) {
Toast t = Toast.makeText(context, text, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
}
}
}
The actual error reads:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.test/com.example.test.MainActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class com.example.test.MyWebView
Thanks in advance for your help. Much appreciated.

MyWebView class is internal of MainActivity class. Inflater does not see this class. Make your WebView in defferent .java file.
Also you can try to use that name in your layout file <com.example.test.MainActivity.MyWebView/>, but i'm not sure about it.
