Firebase UI and FloatingActionButton incompatibility

Question

Good evening!

Edited

Here's my situation:

I'm using FirebaseUI to store in FirebaseStorage and FirebaseDatabase, and retrieve from Database only. I'm trying to use a FloatingActionButton in activity_main.xml (actually is the FloatingActionButton included in the Basic Activity you choose once you start a project) to take a picture. But when I compile the next dependencies

compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.0.1'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:1.0.1'

it's not possible to run the application. It appears this exception:

The only line of code that the exception points in my code is the #71, and it has the following piece of code:

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

This is my Style.xml

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

    <style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

</resources>

Also, this is my FloatingActionButton in activity_main.xml:

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:clickable="true"
        app:fabSize="normal"
        app:backgroundTint="@color/colorAccent"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
        app:srcCompat="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_dialer"
        android:id="@+id/floatingActionButton" />

The problem is that when I try to Run 'app' in my Moto G4 Android 6.0.1, the application crashes. I dedicated a little time to compile the project dependency by dependency and I realized that when I erase the FirebaseUI dependencies the application was executed, but without FurebaseUI functions. The way that I found to execute the application was erase the FloatingActionButton and use a normal Button instead, but I need a FloatingActionButton.

If you guys need more info or code, comment and I'll gladly put it in the post!

So what's the error message? What's your layout that doesn't work? What theme are you using? How are you using FirebaseUI? — ianhanniballake, Dec 09 '16 at 03:45
Hello! @ianhanniballake I edited the post, I hope the post is clearer now. — Misael Gallegos Guzmán, Dec 09 '16 at 04:12
Looks like it can't find the constructor for the FloatingActionButton... `NoSuchMethodError`. `FloatingActionButton.` — OneCricketeer, Dec 09 '16 at 04:31
@cricket_007 yes! The rare situation is when I erase FirebaseUI dependencies, the application is executed, it doesn't retrieve anything from Firebase but at least it's executed. — Misael Gallegos Guzmán, Dec 09 '16 at 04:36
You could try creating a github issue. https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android/issues I'm not really sure if this is something that can be answered if it really is a dependency conflict — OneCricketeer, Dec 09 '16 at 05:00
What version of the Android support design library are you including? — Sam Stern, Dec 09 '16 at 15:53
@hatboysam I am also facing the same issue. I tried with older version of Firebase UI Library also.But I got the same error.I am also having the FloatingActionButton in my activity layout.When I remove the firebase ui dependency everything starts working — Rohit, Dec 10 '16 at 11:17
