Are you sure you’ve actually added the dependency?

I am also getting the same issue in some of my device. Any help would be really good.

Hi, i have same issue, but I noticed that the crash is mostly on a device with Android 5. Any solution?

I'm getting an inflation error when running UI tests on Android 5.0-5.1 emulators. It looks like it's because the WebView on the emulator is old (not sure if it can be updated). I think it's not caused in AdvancedWebView, but rather in androidx or something (haven't investigated).

I started getting this error when I updated my project dependencies recently (androidx included). I haven't changed the version of AdvancedWebView though (btw both 3.2.0 and 3.1.3 have the problem).

It works correctly when running it on a 5.0.2 device (or any other) and 6.0 emulator.
