Answer 1

You forgot to add design support library. Just add this dependencies in your gradle app file:

implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.0.+'

Design Support Library

The Design package provides APIs to support adding material design components and patterns to your apps.

The Design Support library adds support for various material design components and patterns for app developers to build upon, such as navigation drawers, floating action buttons (FAB), snackbars, and TabLayout.

Or AndroidX dependency:

implementation "com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0"

It's OK for importing the TabLayout but java still can not resolve letter "R", I synced project with Gradle but it not work. Do you have any idea? – Anubis

It show Error:(46) No resource identifier found for attribute 'layout_' in package 'android' – Anubis

I have found the error, I just made a typo in the layout file so it generate error – Anubis

@NadeemBhat happy to help you – Mooring

Answer 2

This happened to me when migrating to androidx. You have to add this to your gradle file:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha09'

Also, the location of the TabLayout has changed. From

android.support.design.widget.TabLayout

to

com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout

Here are the class mappings for androidx. Here is the new documentation for the TabLayout.

UPDATE:

With Androidx and the Material Components library use:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

OLD (Support Libraries):

As you can check in the doc if you want to use the TabLayout you have to add this dependency:

com.android.support:design:26.0.2

Add in your build.gradle in the dependencies block:

compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.2'

Replaced this:

android.support.design.widget.TabLayout

With this:

import com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout;

and worked for me! ;-)

You need to add to build_gradle (APP):

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
