Error inflating class com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout: Binary XML file line #125

Question

Binary XML file line #125 | Error inflating class

I got this error with this code:

  <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/group_ll"
                style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
                app:hintTextColor="@color/low_importance_green"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="@dimen/horizontal_gap"
                android:hint="@string/group_ticket_title"
                android:textSize="@dimen/title_size"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/due_ll"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/content_ll">

                <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                    android:id="@+id/group_edit"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:clickable="true"
                    android:focusable="false"
                    android:singleLine="true"
                    android:maxLength="@dimen/max_group_length"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/edit_string_size" />

            </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

I have seen many fixes about MaterialComponents Theme etc. but I already had all this done right.

Answer 1

I found the error. It was the maxLength attribute which caused it.

Though this is just my fault, I wanted to answer this question online, so you can see too.

The error message is not very exact.

So if you have this error and all fixes online are not working or already implemented right. Try looking at the attributes and if one might be causing the error.

P.S. : Why could this be an issue???
