that library must not having support for M devices – Judie

Look at issues page github.com/traex/RippleEffect/issues/76 – Matthaeus

the issue is apparently in the library itself. this question seems off-topic. – Yerga

Answer 1

It seems like a bug in the library itself on Android 6.0, Possible ways to avoid the bug is

1) Use the com.balysv:material-ripple:1.0.2 library it seems more stable

2) Or you can use place separate layout for 21+ let the Android M handle the ripple itself. Just use the proper ripple holder for layouts and views

3) Or you can modify the library source code itself as per this suggestion

4)A fixed version of this library is available @ git and you can use it in your gradle like

compile 'com.github.Hitta:RippleEffect:82cf00e551'
repositories {
            ...
            maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        }
