Error inflating XML class - Resource is not a Drawable (color or path)

Issue

Why when I run my project I get this error? I've been searching for this issue but I didn't find any solution for it

 Unable to start activity ComponentInfo: android.view.InflateException:             
 Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class <unknown>

It´s a simple sign up activity.

The error

Here is the code:

XML file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>

<include layout="@layout/layout_topbar_toolbar"
    android:id="@+id/signup_toolbar" />

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="25dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
    android:layout_below="@id/signup_toolbar">


    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="15dp"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:imeOptions="actionNext"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
        android:hint="@string/form_email_short"
        android:id="@+id/input_email"
        android:background="@drawable/edittext_white_square"
        android:textCursorDrawable="@null"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_edit_text"/>

    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
        android:padding="15dp"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:imeOptions="actionDone"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:hint="@string/form_password_short"
        android:id="@+id/input_password"
        android:background="@drawable/edittext_white_square"
        android:textCursorDrawable="@null"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_edit_text"/>

    <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:text="Sign Up!"
        android:id="@+id/btn_create"
        android:padding="12dp"
        android:textSize="@dimen/text_button"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:background="@drawable/button_accent_square"/>

</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

The toolbar XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
android:theme="@style/Base.ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

The edittext drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
    <shape>
        <solid
            android:color="@color/white"/>
        <stroke android:width="1dp"
            android:color="@color/greyXLight"/>
        <corners
            android:radius="3dp"/>
    </shape>
</item>

I'm testing it in an emulator with API 22 and min API 16

Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

Solution

Your drawable isn't too complicated that it needs to be in a specific API level.

Move it to res/drawable (create this if it doesn't exist).

Or at least make a v16 drawable folder so it corresponds to the minimum API level you've set
