android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource is not a Drawable (color or path): TypedValue{t=0x2/d=0x7f010076 a=2}

Question

Apologies if this is a duplicate, I did try and find any similar answers first and failed as nothing seemed to refer to ImageView? I'm not an Android dev, but we are seeing issues with our app on older OS versions!

I did discover this post on the internet but none of the solutions seems to have fixed anything. The problem is the code builds and runs on Nexus 5, but not on older model phones.

Answer 1

For all those interested, our issue was resolved when removing the following parent attribute, from one of our tags:

parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.ActionButton.Overflow"

It's a pretty horrendous stack-trace, which didn't resolve to any logical location - we managed to isolate it after many hours of (Delete, build, delete, build...etc)

<style name="OcterActionBarOverflowButton">

Hope this helps!
