How do I resolve "failed to find style 'bottomnavigationstyle'

Hey,
I've been trying to add BottomNavigationView to my Activity but I've got a rendering problem which says "failed to find style 'bottomnavigationstyle' in current theme".

I've added this dependency (didn't throw any error, so I'm assuming it exits)
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

What I have tried:

I googled about this error and I read that I've add this
<item name="coordinatorLayoutStyle">@style/Widget.Support.CoordinatorLayout
and It's still not working.

Apparently this is a bug in 28.0.0- see java - Theme Error - how to fix?[^] Reproducing that solution here ...
Add the following to your build.gradle which forces it to use 27.0.0

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            def requested = details.requested
            if (requested.group == "com.android.support") {
                if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
                    details.useVersion "27.1.1"
                }
            }
        }
    }

Solution 2

I had to upgrade my Gradle. That was the problem.

Which is what I said in my solution

At the very least improve your solution with what you actually put into your gradle so if anyone else has the problem they can fix it
