Android-youtube-player: App Crashes with latest androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0

Created on 13 Sep 2019 · 14Comments · Source: PierfrancescoSoffritti/android-youtube-player

When upgrading to the recently released appcompat 1.1.0, app started crashing with the following error.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{.......}:
android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #10: Error inflating class 
com.pierfrancescosoffritti.androidyoutubeplayer.core.player.views.YouTubePlayerView
...
...
...
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x2040003

I can confirm that the core-sample-app also crashes when the appcompat version is updated in dependencies.gradle and recompiled.

This is the same issue as the comment posted by @gajicm93 in https://github.com/PierfrancescoSoffritti/android-youtube-player/issues/419#issuecomment-530714754_, however, the conclusion seems to be wrong. This isn't an old bug, but something new.

The resolution for now is to keep using appcompat 1.0.2 till this is fixed in the player library.

it looks like appcompat:1.2.0-alpha02 fixes the WebView related crash

Hey, thanks for reporting the issue. I'll try to fix it today.

I've tried but failed. I'm traveling and don't have my main SIM card with me, meaning: two factor authentication locks me out of my accounts. I'll do everything next week when I'll be back home.

I have just tried running the sample app using appcompat version 1.1.0, everything works fine.

PierfrancescoSoffritti on 28 Sep 2019

Are you sure you're using the player correctly? if autoplay is set to true you need to provide a videoid.

PierfrancescoSoffritti on 28 Sep 2019

With 1.1.0, Crashes for me on API 22 emulator, works fine on API 28 emulator.

Ok, it does crash on api 22. I'll release the new version in a few hours.

It looks like it's a bug with appcompat itself: issues/141132133. I think we'll have to wait for Google to fix it.

Is this bug solved in 10.0.4?

brookmg on 12 Oct 2019

The bug is not in android-youtube-player but in appcompat 1.1.0.

PierfrancescoSoffritti on 13 Oct 2019

I get that, am asking if the version of appcompat is downgraded in 10.0.4
to 1.0.2

No, the library is fine. You have a problem if you use 1.1.0 yourself.

PierfrancescoSoffritti on 20 Oct 2019

Got it. Thanks

Thank you,
