Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton

Question

My app crashed because

Error inflating class android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton

This is my code in the XML

Answer 1

I was using Material Design for my ExtendedFloatingActionButton and when using API 24 it would crash the app.

I tried updating my gradle dependencies to the latest version:

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0-alpha02'

but I had no luck with that either. My solution was adding android:theme="" even though I had set a style it would still crash so I set the theme to the same as the style and it worked perfectly.
