Unable to inflate layout with material components using service context

Question

A Service has to inflate a layout to show as a floating widget. I'm able to infalte with non-material UI components. But when I use material components like button, app crashes with following error.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service com.example.WindowService: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #82: Binary XML file line #82: Error inflating class com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton

Inside Service onCreate. The line throws above error.

floatingView = View.inflate(this, R.layout.floating_view, null)

floating_layout contains ConstraintLayout with databinding and below material widget.

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
            android:id="@+id/material_button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/device_name"/>

I tried changing AppTheme to few available material themes for <application> tag, but still same issue.

Answer 1

As per @StanislavBondar's comment, able to inflate layout with material components in service.

floatingView = View.inflate(new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.AppTheme), R.layout.floating_view)
