Using GridView in XML, getting java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView

Every time I try to start my app it crashes leaving this message in logcat

Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15 in com.example.connect3game:layout/activity_main: addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView

Answer

your GridView is lacking numColumns property and also its children must have layout_width="match_parent". for example:

<GridView
    android:id="@+id/grid"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:horizontalSpacing="6dp"
    android:numColumns="2"
    android:verticalSpacing="6dp" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:onClick="dropIn"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/grid" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:onClick="dropIn"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/grid" />

</GridView>
