Error : IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents

Question

Below are my dependencies

implementation \'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0\'
implementation \'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2\'
implementation          


        

Answer 1

Extend your base app Theme from Material Components Bridge theme. It extends AppCompat theme, but add all necessary stuff.

Both Theme.MaterialComponents and Theme.MaterialComponents.Light have .Bridge themes:

Theme.MaterialComponents.Bridge
Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Bridge
Theme.MaterialComponents.NoActionBar.Bridge
Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar.Bridge
Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar.Bridge

If allows you to keep using latest version of the library, but avoid a lot of UI issues, caused by migration to pure Material Component theme
