I was studying the Android Material Design using Kotlin and everything was going fine until I tried to use the android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton.

When I rebuild the project I got the error message below: 

Information:Gradle tasks [clean, :app:assembleDebug]
C:\Users\qin\.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\appcompat-v7-26.1.0.aar\3d5ddc383685b19d22429a29e09f2aeb\res\values\values.xml

I saved the source files on GitHub and my environment is:

  • WINDOWS 10 10.03.0.1 (64-bit)
  • ANDROID STUDIO Android Studio 3.0.1 - Build #AI-171.4443003
  • JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-915-b01 amd64
  • JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

I tried:

  1. The FILE->INVALIDATE CACHE/RESTART command, but nothing changed.
  2. I executed the gradlew cleanBuildCache on the terminal, but it could not determine java version from '9.0.1' (?) as shown below.
gradlew cleanBuildCache --stacktrace --debug

You were referencing an attribute "textColor", when it should be "android:textColor".
In app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml replace in line 13 and line 17:

<item name="textColor">...</item> -> <item name="android:textColor">...</item>

The how: the error from AAPT stated the following:

error: style attribute 'attr/textColor (aka br.com.conseng.themedesign:attr/textColor)' not found.

It points out that you (or your libraries) are using an attribute somewhere that is not recognized. I searched for "textColor" in your repository and came up with the two attributes with the name "textColor". The widely used attribute is "android:textColor" and you didn't define the attribute "textColor" anywhere yourself, so it looked like you were missing the "android:" prefix.
