Namespace error when using gridview using custom theme in yii2

I am new to yii2, but I have been using Yii 1.x for quite a long time. I am using advanced template of Yii2 and implementing custom theme for the backend. I am using https://github.com/mithun12000/adminUI theme for the backend. I have set up my theme as follows:

  1. install theme using composer

  2. added theme support in backend/config/main.php as follows: 

    'view'=>[
    'theme'=>[
        'pathMap'=>['@app/views'=>'@webroot/themes/admin/views'],
        'baseUrl'=>'@web/themes/admin'
    ]
],

  3. Changed namespace app\assets; into namespace backend\assets; in backend/assets/AppAsset.php

  4. I created my theme in web folder as backend/web/themes/admin and put my views there.

  5. In my controller, to use the theme I just created, I put the following code:

    $this->getView()->theme = Yii::createObject([
    'class' => '\yii\base\Theme',
    'pathMap' => ['@backend/views' => '@webroot/themes/admin/views'],
    'baseUrl' => '@web/themes/admin',
]);

  6. The login screen works fine. But if I have any widget, suppose Gridview, then I get namespace error. The error I get is:

    Unknown Class – yii\base\UnknownClassException

Unable to find 'app\assets\AppAsset' in file: D:\projects\bmjobs\site\backend/assets/AppAsset.php. Namespace missing?

If I change the namespace in AppAsset.php to app\assets, then I get the following error:

    PHP Fatal Error – yii\base\ErrorException

    Call to a member function checkAccess() on a non-object

I am not sure where I went wrong. Can anybody please help me out with this?

Thanks in advance.

you may change your pathMap in backend/config/main.php

'pathMap' => ['@app/views' => '@app/themes/admin/views'],
