Android design support library with Theme.Material

Question

I would like to use the new design support library in my application beginning with the API 21. I want to use Theme.Material style but it's work only with Theme.AppCompat style. When I use Theme.Material, android return this error:

error inflating class android.support.design.widget.textinputlayout"

How can I resolve it ?

Thank you in advance

Ps: Sorry for my bad english, i'm french.

UPDATE: Here is my code

styles.xml

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
    <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
    <item name="android:colorControlNormal">@color/control_normal</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/silver</item>
</style>

activity.xml

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="username"
        android:id="@+id/editText1" />

</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

build.gradle

Answer 1

TextInputLayout relies on resources/attributes in AppCompat. You need to use an AppCompat base theme.

The AppCompat themes are a parent of the Material based themes on API 21+. So, you will be using the Material theme.

Answer 2

Add this line in gradle file :

compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'

then in you *.xml file do like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_margin="10dip"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="10dp">


    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="10dip"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:weightSum="1">

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingTop="4dip"
            app:hintTextAppearance="@style/textview.small">

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/et_password"
                style="@style/textview.medim"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
                android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
                android:hint="@string/Password" />
        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>


    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

update : if you want use toolbar ,you should change to use AppCompat theme ,
I'confused about this
