After adding EditText to my layout xml my android application’s error reporting gives such an exception on some user devices.

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #76: Error inflating class <unknown>

I cannot reproduce this on my own phone, but I’m getting complaints from other users.
If some of you have experienced such a problem before, pls give me a hint on how to reproduce/resolve it.

and here is that part of my layout xml file that starting from line #76

<EditText android:hint="Message your friend"
            android:textSize="15sp" android:paddingLeft="4dp" android:id="@+id/msgTextField"
            android:layout_width="180dp" android:layout_height="100dp"
            android:layout_below="@+id/gift_layout"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
            android:maxLength="100"
            android:background="@drawable/input_name"
            android:scrollY="10dp" />

Answer 1

The problem was in android:scrollY=”10dp” attribute.
It caused the above mentioned problem/exception on some models of phones.
Though I couldn’t reproduce it by myself but after removing that atribute the exception went off and I’ve got no complaints from the users anymore.
