No compatibility with MdcTheme
See original GitHub issueWe are using MdcTheme for theme compatibility between our XML-UI and Compose UI. Clicking on section in Showkase UI crashes the app with this exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: createMdcTheme requires the host context's theme to extend Theme.MaterialComponents
at com.google.android.material.composethemeadapter.MdcTheme.createMdcTheme(MdcTheme.kt:167)
at com.google.android.material.composethemeadapter.MdcTheme.createMdcTheme$default(MdcTheme.kt:156)
at com.google.android.material.composethemeadapter.MdcTheme.MdcTheme(MdcTheme.kt:91)
at com.jll.jet.common.ui.theme.JetPreviewKt.JetPreview(JetPreview.kt:12)
I could workaround the issue with overriding the theme in AndroidManifest.xml like this:
<activity
android:name="com.airbnb.android.showkase.ui.ShowkaseBrowserActivity"
android:label="ShowkaseBrowserActivity"
android:theme="@style/Theme.Jet"
tools:replace="android:theme" />
(Theme.Jet inherits from Theme.MaterialComponents)
I’m wondering if the library itself could support this.
