Look further down in logcat. You should see another error that points to the real problem. Post that error here if you don't understand what is going on. — Cheticamp, Sep 27 '17 at 11:11

Try to Replace. android:src="@drawable/logo"

With.
app:srcCompat="@drawable/logo"
See reason.

And if it still doesn't work then check the size of the image. Some times it is not actually the inflating problem but a deeper one i.e. Memory issue leading to inflation exception. Use an image with minimum necessary size. Hope it helps.

app:srcCompat="@drawable/logo" leads to an error but android:srcCompat="@drawable/logo" doesnt,besides it doesnt show the image – jtaco263 Sep 27 '17 at 20:06
Try to test using a different image with smaller size. – Niraj Niroula Sep 28 '17 at 12:18
the size of the image is near 400kb – jtaco263 Sep 28 '17 at 23:11
Any thing relevant in log? And did you tried a different image? – Niraj Niroula Sep 29 '17 at 03:07

May be the problem is in your image named "logo" try some other image and check whether it's the problem of image format or size etc. In this way you'll easily come to know about the problem and what type of image should you use in the future. Good Luck!
