java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The view is not associated with BottomSheetBehavior

Question

I know this have been asked before but even though I checked the answers I don't found any solution to my specific problem:

I create a layout that is expected to act as a bottomsheet:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/btmsht"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_behavior="android.support.design.widget.BottomSheetBehavior"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height= "300dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
tools:showIn="@layout/activity_principal">

I use it in the coordinator layout:

<include layout="@layout/btmsht_principal" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

But whe I try to get the reference with:

View tview = findViewById(R.id.btmsht);
    btmsht = BottomSheetBehavior.from(tview);

I get the error:

Is not duplicated because mine is not nested and is a direct child of Coordinator Layout

Answer 1

I've solved it, and I want to post the answer in case someone else has the same problem, when you import the layout that contains the BottomSheet you must not include layout_width and layout_height:

<include layout="@layout/btmsht_principal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

so it has to be:

<include layout="@layout/btmsht_principal"/>
