I was able to replicate with the manual AAR integration as well. By updating the material library I get the same error.

Updating from 1.4.0 to 1.6.1:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.6.1'

Reverting back to material 1.4.0 works again:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'

Seems as though the PDFTron SDK isn’t updated to work with updated material library. That may be why I can’t integrate using Gradle Dependencies?

Hi Seth,

Could you let us know what your projects targetSDKVersion and compileSdkVersion is?

Best,
Eamon

[seth.pacheco]

compileSdk = 31
targetSdk = 31

Hi,

We have found the solution to the issue you were having.
It appears that Material 1.5.0 added in a resource called dividerThickness and in your project you also define your own resource called dividerThickness.
If you remove the your dividerThickness attribute from attrs.xml and it’s references, the project library will compile and run even with material:1.5.0

Best,
Eamon

We have implemented that solution. Thank you!
