android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class android.widget.ImageView

Question

I'm getting below error in my xml file of android project.

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class android.widget.ImageView

I've seen the this solution but can't understand/ it doesn't in my project. Is there any problem with the xml file? Or do I need to work on activity file?

I'm getting the error while adding a custom navigation drawer.

Here is the error

Here is my activity file:

public class SplashScreen extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash_screen);
        Thread myThread = new Thread(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    sleep(3000);
                    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),LoginActivity.class);
                    startActivity(intent);
                    finish();

                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        };

        myThread.start();
    }
}

Here is my xml file of splash screen

Are you sure that there is nothing more in the stack trace, below what you have posted? — CommonsWare

Stack trace may be misleading. There might be a problem with your drawable. Try a different @drawable and see if it works.

android:src="@drawable/ist_logo

in this line change the picture you're using and use another smaller picture in png format
