Cannot resolve symbol Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar (Android Studio)

Question

I've got an error for 'Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar' in styles.xml (the 'Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar' is colored red because of error) after several gradle update. My component are also not well arranged according to my idea of designing.

I've already clean and rebuild project, invalidate caches/restart, update the gradle (maybe not the correct answer) and there's no answer for this. I just think maybe I'm the only one that have this problem maybe for my beginner level problem :')

styles.xml

`

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

</style>

Project gradle

Hi "kindkind", welcome to StackOverflow! Please consider providing a Minimal, Reproducible Example of the problem you're facing so that we can help you troubleshoot the issue. – Conductivity

Also, why are you setting the target and source compatibility of Java to multiple versions? – Conductivity

I already forgot why i write that code but it solved my other coding and once it solved, i considered it to be successful haha – Alterant

Answer 1

The Material Components themes are included in the Material Components for Android library.

Since you are using androidx library just add this dependency in you app/build.gradle file.

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:x.x.x'
    // ...
  }

Currently (April 29, 2022) the latest stable version is

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.5.0'

Here you can find all the info the setup.

Ohh right, I deleted it because I didn't know I needed it, thanks. – Zelmazelten

My fix was upgrading that implementation to the latest version. – Delvecchio

Answer 2

The reason why the MaterialComponents theme does not show is because you did not include the required Material Components library in your app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:<version>'
}

The currently available versions are listed on the project's GitHub releases.

Add the dependency on Android’s Material in /android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:<version>'
    // ...
}

To find out the latest version, visit Google Maven.

Set the theme in /android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml:

//<style name="LaunchTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat"> - remove
<style name="LaunchTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.NoActionBar"> - add
