SetError produces exception with custom style in TextInputLayout

Question

I'm using an Edittext inside of a TextInputLayout using a custom style so that I can change the hint color. If I use the EditText without setting the style, the setError method works fine, but with my style set the next exception is thrown:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Failed to resolve attribute at index 24: TypedValue{t=0x3/d=0x2b5 "res/color/secondary_text_material_dark.xml" a=1 r=0x1060166}

This is the XML of the EditText

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/email_input_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginRight="34dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="34dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
        android:theme="@style/TextLabel">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/email_edittext"
            android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:textColor="@color/colorText"
            android:textColorHint="@color/colorMediumText"
            android:hint="@string/email_hint"
            android:nextFocusUp="@id/email_edittext"
            android:nextFocusLeft="@id/email_edittext"/>

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

This is the style defined in styles.xml.

<style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/colorLightText</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">14dp</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorMediumText</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>

And this is the line that produces the error:

emailInputLayout.setError("Incorrect email");

Any idea of what's happening?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

I found the error, these attributes have to be in the style:

<item name="android:textColorHighlight">@color/COLOR</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">@color/COLOR</item>
