Error inflating class com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton

Question

Although there is a similar question, it does not give me a solution. When I'm trying to use com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.FloatingActionButton it runs well. But if I try to use com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton , it gives errors.

My code in the XML file:

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton
    android:id="@+id/book_profile_write_review"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
    android:contentDescription="@string/author_name"
    android:text="@string/book_name"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.5"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_launcher_foreground" />

Can you please help me?

Answer 1

From your logcat

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents (or a descendant).

So add a material theme for your app/current activity will fix this issue

1) add dependency* (latest / more stable version)

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha01'

2) Create a new theme

<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Add attributes here -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="textAppearanceButton">@style/AppTextAppearance.Button</item>
</style>
 <!--To fix rendering in preview -->
 <style name="AppTextAppearance.Button" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Button">
    <item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
</style>

change parent material theme according to you parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.*

3) change app theme or current activity theme in manifest

android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"

or

<activity android:name=".MyActivity" android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"> </activity>

4) If you found any rendering issue in previews, adding themes to ExtendedFloatingActionButton will fix this

Failed to find '@attr/textAppearanceButton' in current theme.

add theme to ExtendedFloatingActionButton android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"

<com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"
        android:text="ExtendedFab"            
        app:icon="@drawable/ic_add_a_photo_white_24dp"
       />

Answer 2

You need to use a an app or activity theme that is a descendant from Theme.MaterialComponents .

You can see in the trace: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents (or a descendant).

Answer 3

Go to your manifest file and make sure your app and activity inherits from one of this themes:

Theme.MaterialComponents
Theme.MaterialComponents.NoActionBar
Theme.MaterialComponents.Light
Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar
Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar
Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight
Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar
Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.DarkActionBar

EG like this:

<activity android:name=".MYActivity"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"></activity>

Answer 4

Here this one work for me

 <com.google.android.material.floatingactionbutton.ExtendedFloatingActionButton android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme" .................. /> 



<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
    <!-- Add attributes here -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="textAppearanceButton">@style/AppTextAppearance.Button</item>
</style>

Answer 5

AndroidManifest.xml

Update your app theme to inherit from one of these themes, eg:

<style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight">
    <!-- ... -->
</style>

build.gradle

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation "com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0-alpha03"
}

Answer 6

I've got the same error after updating to targetSdkVersion = 32. My activity already had a theme inheriting from MaterialComponents. The issue was that I was setting

android:background="?selectableItemBackground"

to the ExtendedFloatingActionButton. So if you're trying to override the background, it will give you error. Remove that and it should work.

Answer 7

If you plan to make an Application using material Design Componentes, consider using Theme.MaterialComponents.* because in some occasions you will face some inflating erros regarding XML
