to call it in an AppCompatActivity   is


private LayoutInflater layoutInflater;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      layoutInflater = getLayoutInflater().cloneInContext(this);
      LayoutInflaterCompat.setFactory(layoutInflater, new NoReflectionLayoutInflaterFactory());
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  }

  @NonNull
  @Override
  public LayoutInflater getLayoutInflater() {
      return layoutInflater;
  }

  @Override
  public Object getSystemService(@NonNull String name) {
      if (name.equals(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)) {
          if (layoutInflater == null) {
              layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) super.getSystemService(name);
          }
          return layoutInflater;
      }
      return super.getSystemService(name);
  }
