What could be the issue?

[cesardeazevedo]

I just did some tests, i was be able to reproduce by removing the support design dependency, which you need to include

implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'

Let me know if you got it

[Akash-T2S]

Same issue, Is there any other way to solve it ?
