You need to add the following to your module build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

And use com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout in your XML:

   <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/text_input_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="@string/my_hint">

Definitelly, you need to add the dependency inside the build.gradle file located inside /app

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.0.1' //change compile to implementation
    ...
    }
}

but if you are still using Eclipse probably will have some problems using the support library, i recommend to start using Android Studio.

The Eclipse ADT plugin is no longer supported per our announcement. Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android, so you should migrate your projects to Android Studio as soon as possible. For more information on transitioning to Android Studio, see Migrate to Android Studio from Eclipse.

You need to add this dependency in the gradle file

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
