I am trying to get Material Design for my App by following this method.

Whenever I run the App it shows the following error:

Error inflating class android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar.

I checked whether I have added the appcompat properly. But it is all Correct to me. So please tell me what am I doing wrong ?

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion '21.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "io.bxbxbai.feedlistviewdemo"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            runProguard false
            proguardFiles 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

configurations {
    all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile project(':materialDesign')
    compile 'com.balysv.materialmenu:material-menu:1.4.0'

}

If you are using new androidx implementations, when typing Toolbar, the Studio will autocomplete it to android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar, but you should use androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar instead, otherwise you will get this error.
