It seems like a conflict between androidX and support libs.

If you are not supporting yet androidX you need to replace

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0' by implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'.

If you still want to use the material version, make sure your gradle.properties file has androidX and Jetifier enabled.

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Make sure you follow the necessary setup to use material. Check it out here.
