Material-components-android: Can't find startIconDrawable

[doilio]

I'm using a drawable as the startIcon. but it doesn't let me compile the code. it says this:

Android resource linking failed
C:\Users\Dowy\Desktop\BrigadaMovel\app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\stripped.dir\layout\fragment_sign_in.xml:58: error: attribute startIconDrawable (aka com.example.brigadamovel:startIconDrawable) not found.

error: failed linking file resources.

Which version of the library are you using?

[doilio]

Version 1.0.0

[MGaetan89]

It has been added in version 1.1.0-alpha05:

Adding support for TextInputLayout start icon (2642ff2)

So you either need to use the latest alpha version (currently 1.1.0-alpha08) or wait for the next stable release.

Thank you.
I will see what I can do, because at the moment I cannot use a version above 1.0.0 or else my layouts don't show. but that is being taken care of in another Opened Issue.
Cheers.

@doilio
As a workaround I've found you can use
android:drawableLeft=""
android:drawableStart=""

Yes @SCMorgan Thank you.
I ended up installing Android Studio 3.5 RC1 working fine with it
