Cannot access android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText/androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText

[Nathan Knauss]

I'm trying to build an extension and I had imported the 

appcompat-v7-28.0.0.jar

lib and also tried the androidX version. What appears to be happening is I'm doing

TextLayout.addView(EditText)

and it's saying at the . of in between that code, the error in the title.

Everything is done right, I did 

import android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText;

and

import android.widget.EditText;

Any ideas on what's wrong?

We don't include the AndroidX versions of libraries, so I doubt that would help the situation. appcompat is already included, so you also shouldn't need to add it in @UsesLibraries. What are the types of TextLayout and EditText in the addView code snippet?

I have:

import com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout;
import com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText;

I also have the lib for this imported... For code that you're probably asking for, I have:

TextInputLayout TIL = new TextInputLayout(context);

TextInputEditText TIET = new TextInputEditText(TextInputLayout.getContext());

/** UNGIVEABLE CODE **/

TextInputLayout.addView(TextInputEditText);

[Evan Patton]

Assuming that this is representative the actual code, I would expect the last line to be TIL.addView(TIET); rather than using the class names?

Can you shine some light on this error: 

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/material/R$style

I can't figure it out, I fixed the other error, but now it's just this

This error happened to me too when I tried to use CardView library. I think this issue is because of when we extract the .jar from .aar we loose some files. It works fine in companion because companion already has all the reqired library in it. (Not Sure). I'm also still looking for the solution for this error.

I fixed it everyone, thanks!

[Souvik Bera]

Can you please share what was the actual problem and how you managed to fix it ?

[Nathan Knauss]

Can't say what I did, but I removed the Material Lib from Google and used a different one, my result is this... https://community.kodular.io/t/suggestion-textbox/33294/18?u=meteorcoder
