Hi Everyone,
I have one old Android project, written in Java and recently created a library using Kotlin and all latest features.

When I imported it in Java Android project, I am stuck with this error...
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{MainActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #29: Error inflating class com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView

Can't I use Kotlin library in Java project?

[fatih]

You can use Kotlin in Java project. The error should be related with something else. You better check xml. Did you add material components in your gradle?

[Deepti M]

yes I did

[Deepti M]

The library is running fine with other Kotlin project but fails with my Android project

here is the complete crash log...

It says resource not found. I think it is for the color resource. What is your NavigationView in xml

[Deepti M]

com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView

[fatih]

What are the attributes like color, background... etc

[Deepti M]

I have not set anything specific. Here is the complete view...

<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:menu="@menu/menu_nav_drawer" />

[Deepti M]
