android.view.InflateException: Error inflating class android.widget.EditText ASUS Android 5

Question

I'm getting constant reports of this crash happening, but it only happens on asus devices, with android 5, as the image below shows

That's the stack trace:

        llSignInContainer.addView(View.inflate(this, R.layout.sign_in_form, null)); // <-- Line 52
    }

sign_in_form.xml

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

On other devices it works fine, and I tested with ASUS devices with android 4.3 and 6.0 and it also works fine.

I thought TextInputLayout had to wrap a android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText and not EditText — tyczj

@tyczj I always used EditText and had no problem with it, but I will replace it and see if it'll work. — Humberto Costa

@tyczj I tried replacing it for TextInputEditText but I`m still getting the crash reports. — Humberto Costa

As said on the comments of this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/30914037/5178257 the problem is with the theme, so if you set the parent theme to ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light it'll solve the crashes on ASUS devices.

e.g

<style name="TextInputStyle" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
  <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/black</item>     
  <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/gray</item>
</style>
