Answer 1

Hi guys i find the Solution i just Replace the Line

fragmentView =LayoutInflater.from(getActivity().getApplicationContext()).inflate(R.layout.fragment_lwnr, null);

With

fragmentView = getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.fragment_lwnr, null);

And now Material Design EditText Working fine in Fragments.

Material Design EditText:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/passwordwrapper"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:paddingLeft="10dp"
            android:paddingRight="10dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/etpassword"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:inputType="textPassword"
                android:hint="@string/login_password"/>

        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Add below lines in your style.xml file:

<style name="MyMaterialTheme" parent="MyMaterialTheme.Base">

    </style>

    <style name="MyMaterialTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

    <style name="MyMaterialTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />

    <style name="MyMaterialTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />

And set theme to your Manifest's Application Tag:

android:theme="@style/MyMaterialTheme"

Hope it will help you.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with the design library.

It means that same Activity is not using Theme.AppCompat theme.
