java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to color: type=0x2 on setErrorEnabled for InputTextLayout

I have a TextInputLayout:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:id="@+id/passwordLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColorHint="#FFF"
    android:theme="@style/TextInputLayoutWhite"
    app:errorTextAppearance="@style/ErrorText"
    app:hintTextAppearance="@style/TextInputLayoutWhite">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/passwordInput"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Password"
        android:imeOptions="actionGo"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:textColor="#FFF"
        app:theme="@style/WhiteEditText">

    </EditText>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

and I am setting an error in my Activity like so:

passwordLayout.setErrorEnabled(true);

And this is throwing java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to color: type=0x2

If I set app:errorEnabled on the TextInputLayout in my xml layout, the error text does show up, however I don't want it "enabled" at all times because it adds extra space for the textview which is unnecessary until I need to display the error.

Any ideas why this is throwing java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException? Here is the full stack trace:

UPDATE

Here is what is in my ErrorText style. Please note the above error is thrown even when I don't set a theme:

<style name="ErrorText" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small">
    <item name="android:textColor">#FFF</item>
</style>

And here is the declaration of my passwordLayout:

TextInputLayout passwordLayout = (TextInputLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.passwordLayout);

Solution

  • this answer shows the problem is with your android:theme="@style/TextLabelWhite". Remove this or apply to style to your parent AppTheme.
