And Invalidate caches/Restart & Rebuilding the project didn't work.

can you post your activity code where you are using textInputLayout ? — Umair, Mar 22 '18 at 05:06

@SantanuSur i'm already using "Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar" why i'm still facing this problem! ,i updated the qestions with my code — Toka A. Amin, Mar 22 '18 at 05:17
@tokaaliamien I asked about your activity class not styles.xml :) — Umair, Mar 22 '18 at 05:25
@tokaaliamien your activity is fine. Take a look at this link it may help you with your problem https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42862486/android-you-need-to-use-a-theme-appcompat-theme-or-descendant-with-the-design — Umair, Mar 22 '18 at 05:34
@NileshRathod Tried all these answers and none of them solved the problem. — Toka A. Amin, Mar 22 '18 at 05:37
@tokaaliamien test case remove `#FFC300 #FFF0` from your `styles.xml` — AskNilesh, Mar 22 '18 at 05:38

try changing app gradle to

compileSdkVersion 27 targetSdkVersion 27

compile 'com.android.support:design:27.1.0' implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.0'
