Since TextView (as opposed to AppCompatTextView) does not support ColorStateLists with theme attribute references below API 23 the following code always fails:

    TextInputLayout.java:561

        mErrorView.setTextAppearance(getContext(), mErrorTextAppearance);

Caused by:

    TextInputLayout.java:559

        mErrorView = new TextView(getContext());

Suggested fix:

    TextInputLayout.java:559

        mErrorView = new AppCompatTextView(getContext());
