error: resource style/Widget.Design.CoordinatorLayout (aka de.test.browserelement:style/Widget.Design.CoordinatorLayout) not found.

Go to your values.xml and change this:

style/Widget.Design.CoordinatorLayout

To:

@style/Widget.Support.CoordinatorLayout

For example:

<item name="coordinatorLayoutStyle">@style/Widget.Support.CoordinatorLayout</item>

    I tried to update my app to sdk version 28 and I am constantly getting this error:

    Android resource linking failed

    I tried rebuilding the app, updating the build tools and implementating the CoordinatorLayout separately.I don't really know why it is giving me this error, it worked for SDK version 27.

    Did I do something wrong with my build.gradle file?:

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
    
    android {
     compileSdkVersion 28
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "de.test.browserelement"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    }
    
    dependencies {
        implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
        implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
        implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
        implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:28.0.0'
        implementation 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:28.0.0'
        implementation 'com.android.support:preference-v7:28.0.0'
        implementation 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.9.8'
        testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
        androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
        androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
    }
    

    And for the CoordinatorLayout I am using, here is the .xml file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">
    </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
    

    Does anyone have a solution for my problem?
