How to set chipText on com.google.android.material.chip.Chip?

Question

I am investigating the material components provided by

implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.0.0-alpha3'

namely com.google.android.material.chip.Chip

Using Android Studio version

Android Studio 3.2 Canary 18
Build #AI-181.4892.42.32.4830125, built on June 8, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1136-b04 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Mac OS X 10.11.6

I created a basic application with this gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 'android-P'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.research.peanut"
        minSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0-alpha3'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.1'

    implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.0.0-alpha3'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.0-alpha3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.0-alpha3'
}

Following this site

I added the following chips to my layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world" />

    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Entry"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipIcon="@drawable/ic_add_circle_outline_24dp"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world" />

    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Filter"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world" />

    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Choice"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world"/>


    <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Action"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipIcon="@drawable/ic_call_to_action_24dp"
        app:chipText="@string/hello_world"/>

</LinearLayout>

I get have the following build issues

Android resource linking failed
Output:  /Users/frankb/AndroidStudioCanaryProjects/wip/Peanut/app/src/main/res/layout/activity_main.xml:10: error: attribute chipText (aka com.research.peanut:chipText) not found.

What am I missing?

UPDATE

when a change my gradle dependency to

implementation group: 'com.google.android.material', name: 'material', version: '1.0.0-alpha1'

My app works fine.

I'm experiencing the same issue after updating it to `1.0.0-alpha03`. Setting `chipText` programatically works btw. — Nominalista, Jun 12 '18 at 15:38
@Nominalista, when I set chip text programatically the displayed chip text is not displayed correctly as the chips size (width) is set as if it has no text. How are you getting the text displayed in full? — Hector, Jun 12 '18 at 15:54
Are you calling setChiptText or setText? The second one results in weird behaviour. — Nominalista, Jun 12 '18 at 17:12

Version 1.0.0-beta01 came out, and the text can now be set through android:text

Just because the Chips extends Button and then TextView we are able to use

<android.support.design.chip.Chip
 .
 .
android:text="text"/>
