android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class include

I have a certain App that was using different layouts for different activities, but much of the xml content was same. So I moved the content to a common xml and included that in the different layouts.

This is the common layout xml:

Code:

---

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http;//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              xmlns:app="http;//schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:background="@color/background_color">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/img_newslist"
            android:layout_width="35dp"
            android:layout_height="35dp"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop"
            android:layout_margin="0dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:padding="5dp"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:gravity="center_vertical">

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txt_newslistheading"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:maxLines="2"
                android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
                android:textColor="@color/text_color"
                android:textSize="14sp"
                android:text="Heading"/>

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txt_newslistdate"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                android:textColor="@color/text_color"
                android:text="Date"
                android:visibility="invisible"/>

        </LinearLayout>

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

---

This is the layout xml that includes the above xml:

Code:

---

<include
    android:layout="@layout/lsv_item_list"
    android:id="@+id/lsv_item_recent"
    xmlns:android="http;//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http;//schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"/>

---

With these changes the app is failing at run time with the following error:

Previously the app was working fine. Can somebody help me understand what I am doing wrong? The relevant code that is failing is as follows:

Code:

---

                public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                        View view = convertView;
                        ViewHolder holder;
                        if (view == null) {
                                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) activity
                                                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                                view = inflater.inflate(row, null);

                                holder = new ViewHolder();
                                view.setTag(holder);
                        } else {
                                holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
                        }

                        if ((itemsLatest == null) || ((position + 1) > itemsLatest.size()))
                                return view;

        if (position % 2 == 1) {
            view.setBackgroundColor(row2Color);
        } else {
            view.setBackgroundColor(row1Color);
        }

                        objLatestBean = itemsLatest.get(position);

                        holder.txt_newsheadinglatest=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.txt_newslistheading);
                        holder.txt_newsdatelatest=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.txt_newslistdate);
                        holder.img_newslatest=(ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.img_newslist);
                       
                        holder.txt_newsheadinglatest.setText(objLatestBean.getNewsHeading().toString());
                        holder.txt_newsdatelatest.setText(objLatestBean.getNewsDate().toString());

                        imageLoader.DisplayImage(Constant.getServerImageThumbs () + objLatestBean.getNewsImage().toString(), holder.img_newslatest);       
                       
                        return view;
                       
                }

PS: I have changed : to ; in the URL above. That is not an error.
