I tried to update my app to sdk version 28 and I am constantly getting this error:
Android resource linking failed Output: C:\Users\nick\AndroidStudioProjects\BrowserElement\app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\merged.dir\values\values.xml:2641: error: resource style/Widget.Design.CoordinatorLayout (aka de.test.browserelement:style/Widget.Design.CoordinatorLayout) not found. error: failed linking references.

Did I do something wrong with my build.gradle file?:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 28 defaultConfig { applicationId "de.test.browserelement" minSdkVersion 19 targetSdkVersion 28 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } } dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3' implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:28.0.0' implementation 'com.android.support:preference-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.9.8' testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2' androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2' } And for the CoordinatorLayout I am using, here is the .xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity"> </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout> Does anyone have a solution for my problem?
