I want to make an Interface for route-planning purposes that has 2 states 1 - Inputting start and target addresses 2 - Doing the same thing through GPS location services
I have made the Content layout through the XML file but since I need to switch between them dynamically I tried to set up the same thing via Java button events. But whenever I try to setup the TextInputLayout with an EditText inside through Java and try to compile and launch it on my Android emulator, which is a Pixel 2 API lvl 28 it gives me a java.lang.IllegalArgumentError with the message 'The style on this component requires your app theme to be Theme.AppCompat (or a descendant)'.
inputTop = new android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout(getApplicationContext());
inputTop.setLayoutParams(new ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(Constraints.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT - 120, (int) convertDpToPx(getApplicationContext(), 45)));
inputTop.setX(convertDpToPx(getApplicationContext(), 174));
inputTop.setY(convertDpToPx(getApplicationContext(), 60));
inputTopInner = new EditText(getApplicationContext());
inputTopInner.setLayoutParams(new ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
inputTopInner.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
inputTopInner.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
inputTopInner.setTextColor(Color.rgb(151,151,151));
inputTopInner.setTextSize(12);
inputTopInner.setHint("Standort");
inputTopInner.setEms(10);
inputTop.addView(inputTopInner);
layout.addView(viewTop);
layout.addView(inputTop);
Anybody know how to make this run as it does when inputted into the XML file?
This is how we did for our project:
We kept Parent as LinearLayout and add views in that layout
LiearLayout parentView = findViewById(R.id.parentView);
TextInputLayout emailTextInputLayout = new TextInputLayout(this, null, R.style.Widget_MaterialComponents_TextInputLayout_OutlinedBox);
emailTextInputLayout.setHint("Please Enter Email Address");
emailTextInputLayout.setBoxBackgroundMode(TextInputLayout.BOX_BACKGROUND_OUTLINE);
emailTextInputLayout.setBoxCornerRadii(5, 5, 5, 5);
TextInputEditText edtEmail = new TextInputEditText(emailTextInputLayout.getContext());
emailTextInputLayout.addView(edtEmail);
parentView.addView(emailTextInputLayout);
TextInputLayout passTextInputLayout = new TextInputLayout(this, null, R.style.Widget_MaterialComponents_TextInputLayout_OutlinedBox);
passTextInputLayout.setHint("Please Enter Password");
passTextInputLayout.setBoxBackgroundMode(TextInputLayout.BOX_BACKGROUND_OUTLINE);
passTextInputLayout.setBoxCornerRadii(5, 5, 5, 5);
TextInputEditText edtPass = new TextInputEditText(passTextInputLayout.getContext());
passTextInputLayout.addView(edtPass);
parentView.addView(passTextInputLayout);
