I am trying to stylize the TextInputLayout with an outline. But when I try to use @style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox
in style attribute my app crashes with this exception:
JavaScript
x
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents (or a descendant).
Here is the TextInputLayout theme I want to use OutlinedBox
It was working fine but suddenly this error appeared during development
JavaScript
<style name="LoginTextInputLayoutStyle" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense">
<item name="boxStrokeColor">@color/text_input_box_stroke</item>
</style>
Global App Theme
JavaScript
<!-- Base application No Action bar theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">@font/opensans_regular</item>
</style>

Answer
As reported in the error:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.MaterialComponents (or a descendant)
You have to change the app theme to a Material Components Theme like:
JavaScript
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- -->
</style>
