RuntimeException while using new TextInputLayout from support design library

Question

I have very simple layout where I use new android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout view from Design Support Library

getColor crashes, you can try two things:

1.Instead of using EditText, use android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText. For example:

2.If that doesn't help, this might, but it will remove the color of your hint when the input field is selected. Add:

            app:hintTextAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small"

to your TextInputLayout.
