android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #158: Error inflating class Button

Question

I want to use color.xml file for my button, but it show this error and app crash. It says, it cannot find the color.xml file.

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/color/color.xml from drawable resource ID #0x7f0e00dd

  at android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton.<init>(AppCompatButton.java:62)
  at android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton.<init>(AppCompatButton.java:5

Here is my button xml:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_buy"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    android:background="@color/color"
    android:textColor="@color/mdtp_white"
    android:text="@string/buy"/>

This is my color.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false" android:color="@color/grey" />
    <item android:color="@color/myRedColor"/>
</selector>

Do you mean add the color.xml file to folder drawable? I try it, but still get the same error. — K.Sopheak

@K.Sopheak I don't see where the color/buy is declared. Your color.xml file does'n contains it. — TOP

@vrundpurohit I edit my post. Actually, it is @color/color. It is the color.xml file. — K.Sopheak

android:background attribute requires a drawable resource. All you need to do is moving your color.xml file to drawable folder.

@K.Sopheak Please update your code first. I still see the word "buy"

@K.Sopheak I still see "/color/color.xml". You need to move color.xml file to folder drawable. And for your Button use this line: android:background="@drawable/color"

Create color.xml file in Drawable folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@color/grey" />
<item android:state_pressed="true"  android:drawable="@color/myRedColor" />
</selector>

Use color.xml as background in button

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_buy"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    // here
    android:background="@drawable/color"
    android:textColor="@color/mdtp_white"
    android:text="@string/buy"/>

Finally, I fixed the error. I look strange but it work. First, move the color.xml to drawable folder. Then update the color.xml like following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_enabled="false">
        <color android:color="@color/grey"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <color android:color="@color/myRedColor"/>
    </item>
</selector>
