java - Troubles with AndroidSlidingUpPanel with Eclipse - Error Inflating class

Question

I'm trying to use the AndroidSlidingUpPanel library (in Eclipse) and I have this error:

04-19 20:09:48.413: E/AndroidRuntime(13760): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.mendozatourapp/com.mendozatourapp.activitys.MapsActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class com.sothree.slidinguppanel.library.SlidingUpPanelLayout

This is my layout:

<?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="match_parent"
    tools:context=".DemoActivity" >

    <com.sothree.slidinguppanel.SlidingUpPanelLayout
        xmlns:sothree="http://schemas.android.com/apk/lib/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/sliding_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="bottom"
        sothree:panelHeight="68dp"
        sothree:shadowHeight="4dp"
        sothree:paralaxOffset="100dp"
        sothree:dragView="@+id/name">  
   </com.sothree.slidinguppanel.SlidingUpPanelLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

I downloaded the entire project and imported "main" as library. Then I add this library to my project's java build path. I have the feeling that is a java build path problem. Any idea?

Thank you so much for reading me and take your time to do it.

I just got it working in Eclipse.

The important part is to get your library project created correctly and then link it up to your main project.

For the library project, I created a project.properties file, and also added the jar files for the RecyclerView library, the support v4 library, and nineoldandroids.

I also created a .classpath file in order to make it automatically put the java folder in the build path.

I uploaded the library project that I got working to github: https://github.com/dmnugent80/SlidingUpPanel-for-Eclipse/tree/master

Then, import the library project into your workspace:

Set it up as a dependency of the main project:

So, you end up with something like this:

Then, using this test xml (your xml threw an error about needing a minimum of two children):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                android:paddingRight="10dp"
                android:paddingLeft="10dp"/>

        </LinearLayout>

        <ListView

            android:layout_weight="1">
        </ListView>
    </LinearLayout>
</com.sothree.slidinguppanel.SlidingUpPanelLayout>

It works!
