Error inflating checkbox in PreferenceActivity
<p>I'm having some issue with my pref_general.xml file as I get the following error message: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #19: Error inflating class android.widget.CheckBox</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Then the logcat points the line in my PreferenceActivity where I call "addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref_general);"</p>

<p>After several hours of trying to sort it out I still have no idea what the issue is so maybe someone is familiar with this or simply another set of eyes can find the problem.</p>
