Android TextInputLayout is not showing error

I am using EditText with TextInputLayout. This is the code, that I am using to display error.

  private boolean validateEmail() {
    String email = inputEmail.getText().toString().trim();

    if (email.isEmpty() || !isValidEmail(email)) {
        inputLayoutEmail.setErrorEnabled(true);
        inputLayoutEmail.setError(getString(R.string.err_msg_email));
        requestFocus(inputEmail);
        return false;
    } else {
        inputLayoutEmail.setErrorEnabled(false);
    }

    return true;
}

I am calling this method in edittext's textwatcher like in this link http://www.androidhive.info/2015/09/android-material-design-floating-labels-for-edittext/

Once I entered a valid input then clear that ,it will show error message as expected,But it wont work if i enter the text again and then clear it again.ie.It is not showing any error message.

I am using compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0' library.

inputLayoutEmail.setErrorEnabled(true);

is calling but error is not displaying. What might be the problem? How I can solve this?

In your layout file, ensure you have layout_height="wrap_content" for the TextInputLayout instead of a dimension. This was causing the issue for me.

You just need apply,

inputLayoutEmail.setErrorEnabled(false);
inputLayoutEmail.setError(null);

It worked for me. Hope it will work for you too.

Use Android Support Library, revision 23.4.0 (May 2016)

Fixed an issue where TextInputLayout doesn't clear error tint after setErrorEnabled(false) on API level 21 - 22 (Issue 202829)

The example worked for me.

you use

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'

and the right one is 

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
