    @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    fun getMaterialInflater(context: Context, @StyleRes theme: Int): LayoutInflater {

        val contextThemeWrapper = ContextThemeWrapper(context, theme)
        val inflater = LayoutInflater.from(contextThemeWrapper)

        val factory = object : LayoutInflater.Factory2 {
            val myInflater = MaterialComponentsViewInflater()

            override fun onCreateView(parent: View?, name: String, context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet): View? {
                return myInflater.createView(
                        parent,
                        name,
                        context,
                        attrs,
                        false, // "true" to use the parent's context
                        false, // androidTheme: Emulate the android:theme attribute for devices before L.
                        true, // appTheme: Emulate the android:theme attribute for devices before L.
//                   original code here is VectorEnabledTintResources.shouldBeUsed(), but that's till API 20. No need from API 21
                        false /* Only tint wrap the context if enabled */
                )
            }

            override fun onCreateView(name: String, context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet): View? {
                return onCreateView(null, name, context, attrs)
            }
        }
        LayoutInflaterCompat.setFactory2(inflater, factory)
        return inflater
    }
