Getting Error while setError("") with TextInputLayout?

Question

Below is my code;

xml

  <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/emailTxtLayout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:theme="@style/TextLabel"
                android:layout_centerVertical="true"
                android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/button1">

                <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
                    android:id="@+id/edt_editemail"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:digits="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890@."
                    android:fontFamily="@font/poppins_light"
                    android:hint="@string/e_mail"
                    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
                    android:maxLines="1"
                    android:singleLine="true"
                    android:textColor="@color/gray"
                    android:textColorHint="@color/gray"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/sp_16" />

            </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Style

   <style name="TextLabel" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/gray</item>
    <!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/darkgreen</item>
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/gray</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/darkgreen</item>
</style>

<style name="ErrorText" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Error">
    <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/darkorange</item>
</style>

Code

EditText edt_editemail;
TextInputLayout emailTxtLayout;

 edt_editemail = findViewById(R.id.edt_editemail);
 emailTxtLayout = findViewById(R.id.emailTxtLayout);

Below dependencies which I used right now;

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

when I use below code and click on submit button, I got error;

emailTxtLayout.setError(getString(R.string.valid_email_id_error));

Error is below which I am getting;

`android:theme="@style/TextLabel"` is the culprit ..post your `colors.xml` The error speaks about the problem in `TypedArray` ( ie. the attrs you passed to the widget ). **Mostly one of the hex code of the colors.xml is invalid** — Santanu Sur, Jun 28 '19 at 07:36

Modify your layout like this

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/emailTxtLayout"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:theme="@style/TextLabel"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/button1"
            app:errorEnabled="true">

You need this attribute to show the error

app:errorEnabled="true"

then call,

emailTxtLayout.setError(getString(R.string.valid_email_id_error));
