Application crashes if password field is blank with validation too

Nobody has claimed this yet.

So i recently used this library, i basically want to add a checkpoint to my application where if user leave password empty the application sets error to the field, i used password view for password field. But when user continues without entering password the application crashes, no matter if he enters email only too, i already have check point of seterror added on the email field my email field is a simple edit text and password field is password view,i tried checking logcat and it says "Please use TextInputLayout.setError() instead!
at com.xwray.passwordview.PasswordView.setError", i tried setting the type to textinputlayout but it throws an error of casting i.e. "Unable to cast edittext on textinputlayout", below is the xml and java code of my application

Start with the PasswordView.setError entry named in the Logcat trace and review the supplied XML and Java snippets. Reproduce validation with a blank password, including the email-only case, and determine whether the crash comes from calling setError on PasswordView. Done means blank-password validation no longer crashes and the password field displays its error correctly.
