implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.1.0'
implementation "androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0"

You wont be able to use cardview in drawable. If you are looking to use it to set as a background for a view, create an xml file in layout and use the file as the background.

You can't use CardView in drawables. CardView as the name suggests is a View. Drawable is a resource. Can you post more what you are hoping to achieve by including CardView in Drawable? I may be able to suggest an alternative way to achieve the desired result.
