setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);

it shows me an error

ERROR: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.look.instragramclone/com.example.look.instragramclone.Likes.LikesActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #27: android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText cannot be cast to android.view.ViewGroup

use TextInputLayout insted of TextInputEdittext.

below code is for textinputlayout use:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
   android:id="@+id/usernameWrapper"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/username"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    android:hint="Email"/> 

</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

You can not treat TextInputEditText as a ViewGroup by placing a child inside in the following xml -

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp">

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
            android:hint="Email"
            android:id="@+id/input_email"/>

    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText>

You need to use it as a view using -

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"/> // close this tag here

I was having the same problem apparently the style for my InputLayout was not configured properly I tried changing that and the error was solved and also we can use EditText instead of InputEditText inside InputTextLayout
