Error inflating class com.jarvanmo.exoplayerview.ui.ExoVideoView

See original GitHub issue

I just added gradle dependency, then added the ExoVideoView in my layout file and properly handled its working in the Java section. But this exception comes when I launch the activity that contains ExoVideoView.

Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class com.jarvanmo.exoplayerview.ui.ExoVideoView
