I still do not know what caused this crash but I have managed to fix it. I ended up extending R.stylable.View
with some more attributes:
<declare-styleable name="View">
<attr name="android:background"/>
<attr name="android:clickable"/>
<attr name="android:contentDescription"/>
<attr name="android:drawingCacheQuality"/>
<attr name="android:duplicateParentState"/>
<attr name="android:fadeScrollbars"/>
<attr name="android:fadingEdge"/>
<attr name="android:fadingEdgeLength"/>
<attr name="android:fitsSystemWindows"/>
<attr name="android:focusable"/>
<attr name="android:focusableInTouchMode"/>
<attr name="android:hapticFeedbackEnabled"/>
<attr name="android:id"/>
<attr name="android:isScrollContainer"/>
<attr name="android:keepScreenOn"/>
<attr name="android:longClickable"/>
<attr name="android:minHeight"/>
<attr name="android:minWidth"/>
<attr name="android:nextFocusDown"/>
<attr name="android:nextFocusLeft"/>
<attr name="android:nextFocusRight"/>
<attr name="android:nextFocusUp"/>
<attr name="android:onClick"/>
<attr name="android:padding"/>
<attr name="android:paddingBottom"/>
<attr name="android:paddingLeft"/>
<attr name="android:paddingRight"/>
<attr name="android:paddingTop"/>
<attr name="android:saveEnabled"/>
<attr name="android:scrollX"/>
<attr name="android:scrollY"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarDefaultDelayBeforeFade"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarFadeDuration"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarSize"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarStyle"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarThumbHorizontal"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarThumbVertical"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarTrackHorizontal"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbarTrackVertical"/>
<attr name="android:scrollbars"/>
<attr name="android:soundEffectsEnabled"/>
<attr name="android:tag"/>
<attr name="android:visibility"/>
</declare-styleable>
Maybe this is too much but my application no longer crashes after that.
Though it is not necessary anymore, still if anyone has any idea on where I went wrong please do not leave me unenlightened.
