Android: Expanding and collapsing toolbars without AppCompat library

Question

In my application I'm using the theme @android:style/Theme.Material because I like the dark material design.

I would like to implement an expanding and collapsing toolbars like the one in "Build a Material Design App with the Android Design Support Library" from Codelab.

The problem is that it's require the widget CoordinatorLayout that seems to be incompatible with this theme.

Is there any solution that doesn't require to change the theme ?
If not, is it possible to have a dark material look with AppCompat ?

Answer 1

I replaced @android:style/Theme.Material by Theme.AppCompat and add appcompat-v7 in my dependencies. Also I replaced every extends Activity by extends AppCompatActivity in my java code.

Now my application can run without this error.
