Whenever I use MaterialButton, I get the following exception in the xml preview:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassCastException
I have upgraded to android studio 3.4 and to com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha05
Version 1.0.0 works but any 1.1.x doesn't.
Is this a problem with the IDE or the library?

EDIT This happens only when the button style is not set OR the defaulted:
@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button
Setting as unelevated style works for example, so as a work around I'm using the tools namespace to show unelevated button style.
Edit 2 the app theme parent is already correctly set as Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar. This is an IDE issue as it is running well on my emulator and device. I have also done a clear cache & invalidate, clean build, rebuild... (the standard things we do when faced with weird IDE problems)
Edit 3 Still no luck with the latest A.S. 3.4.1!
I'm attempting to reproduce this issue currently, but I need more information. My current hypothesis is that it's related to button elevation (based on the animation calls in the stacktrace), which is also why unelevated button works as expected.
Could you please file an issue at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=439535&template=1121918 with the component name and description, as well as the information requested there?
Update3: This is finally fixed in Studio 3.5beta2! We did it guys!
Set your application theme from AppCompat to MaterialComponents such as below:
Use below style:
instead of
I had the same problem, I've downloaded another version of Android Studio.
It's Working Fine on A.S. 3.6 Canary 3... I'm Using API 29, and material_version = '1.1.0-alpha08'
Download it here
The last working version for my earlier Android Studio was material_version = '1.0.0'.
But it didn't have some of the new material component features, so Instead of rolling back, I decided to Update Android Studio.
Do what best suits your needs.
Cheers.
amitav13's solution has one major problem, when you reformat the code the default rules will rearrange all the attributes and then everything breaks again.
Instead, until this is fixed, my proposal is to create a separate application theme for using in preview windows, in this example this Theme is called AppTheme.PreviewFix. Simply select this theme in Preview / Design panes.
