I recently got this weird error from a Android 4.2 device when inflating a Spinner item in the getView() method of its ArrayAdapter:

This is the XML of the item's layout:
<!-- item_autocomplete.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="48dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:padding="8dp">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/item_autocomplete_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="@color/primaryColor"/>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/item_autocomplete_img"
android:layout_width="14dp"
android:layout_height="14dp"
android:layout_below="@id/item_autocomplete_title"
android:padding="2dp"
android:src="@drawable/ic_location_on_black_18dp"
android:tint="@android:color/tertiary_text_light"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/item_autocomplete_subtitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/item_autocomplete_img"
android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/item_autocomplete_img"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/item_autocomplete_img"
android:textColor="@android:color/tertiary_text_light"
android:textSize="12sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
And this is the line where it crashed:
// SpinnerAdapter.java
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = View.inflate(getContext(), RESOURCE, null); <-- Crash
}
...
}
So, what's wrong here? Android Studio does not throw me any warning and the app compiles and runs just fine on all devices I have tested...
The problem is just that android:tint="" is to be assigned a color, not a selector, which @android:color/tertiary_text_light is.
Using directly its value #808080 or through a resource value en colors.xml will work @colors/gray_light.
