Answer 1

You need to add the following to your module build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

And use com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout in your XML:

   <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/text_input_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="@string/my_hint">

Answer 2

You need to add this dependency in the gradle file

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
