My app crashes when trying to inflate the com.google.android.material.chip.Chip class.

The dependency i am using is implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

Here is my XML code

 <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
        android:id="@+id/chipActive"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:chipCornerRadius="5dp"
        android:backgroundTint="@color/primaryColor"
        android:textColor="@color/primaryTextColor"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:fontFamily="@font/roboto_regular"
        android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
        android:text="Active"/>
The error I get is 
 android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #18: Binary XML file line #18: Error inflating class com.google.android.material.chip.Chip
    at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:551)
    at android.view.LayoutInflater.inflate(LayoutInflater.java:429)
I found a question similar to mine on another thread but there was no solution there that was helpful to me. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this issue please help me :D
                Update your app theme to inherit from one of these themes as shown here: stackoverflow.com/questions/51877777/…
