Please complete the following information:

• Library-Version: 1.3.3
• Tested on : Pixel 2 API 21 x86, Pixel 3a API 30 x86 (emulator)

When creating and showing a balloon, In android studio 'run' window shows (with red-colored text): E/ThemeUtils: View class com.skydoves.balloon.vectortext.VectorTextView is an AppCompat widget that can only be used with a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant). E/ThemeUtils: View class androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView is an AppCompat widget that can only be used with a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant).

Code used to create and show balloon:

myBalloon = new Balloon.Builder(ctx)
                .setArrowSize(10)
                .setArrowOrientation(ArrowOrientation.BOTTOM)
                .setArrowPositionRules(ArrowPositionRules.ALIGN_ANCHOR)
                .setWidth(BalloonSizeSpec.WRAP)
                .setHeight(50)
                .setPaddingLeft(12)
                .setPaddingRight(12)
                .setTextSize(15f)
                .setCornerRadius(4f)
                .setText(text)
                .setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(ctx, R.color.white))
                .setTextIsHtml(true)
                .setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(ctx, R.color.blue_ocean))
                .build();

        myBalloon.show(view, 0, -10);

However, the balloon actually shows correctly.

Check your styles.xml and extends Theme.AppCompat theme. References

I don't have styles.xml on my project, Instead, I changed the theme to Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.DarkActionBar in themes.xml but those red texts still appear.
