Description

There's a crash in MaterialDatePicker in the latest stable 1.9.0 release
that has been fixed and this fix has been included in the latest 1.10.0-alpha03.

However that release has the compileSdkVersion set to the upcoming
android-UpsideDownCake which we're unable to depend on just yet.

Is there any chance this crash-fix could be backported to the stable
1.9.0 release so that we can deploy a fix without needing to update
to the preview Sdk?
