Crashes unless CardView is added to Gradle dependencies

[intrications]

My code crashes with:

android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class android.support.v7.widget.CardView
at android.view.LayoutInflater.createViewFromTag(LayoutInflater.java:757)
at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:482)
at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:414)
at com.tundem.aboutlibraries.ui.adapter.LibsRecyclerViewAdapter.onCreateViewHolder(LibsRecyclerViewAdapter.java:58)

unless I add

compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.0'

to my Gradle dependencies.

https://github.com/mikepenz/AboutLibraries/blob/master/library/build.gradle contains this dependency so I'm not sure why it isn't transferring from the library to my main project.

Hmmm that's strange. i think i had this same problem with the sample app. Perhaps i just add the libs which are used within the AboutLibraries library as dependency to the instructions. thanks

@mikepenz another way to fix that is:

compile('com.mikepenz.aboutlibraries:library:4.3.5@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }

@yoavst thanks for the info. :)
