TextInputLayout hint color in error state

As per Googles Material Guidelines:

https://material.io/guidelines/components/text-fields.html#text-fields-layout

TextInputLayout hint should be the same color as the Error message:

enter image description here

However it is not like that and when I call setError("My error") only the underline and the error message show up in red.

How can I change this behavior to account for Google's own guidelines?

We can manipulate the error as helper text because if you set an error it will definitely change the hint color, so I just used helperText instead of setError, here is an example

XML File

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                  android:id="@+id/textInputLayoutUserName"
                  android:layout_width="@dimen/view_0x"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  style="@style/errorEnabledtextInputLayoutStyle">
    
                     <EditText
                           android:id="@+id/editTextUserName"
                           android:gravity="center_vertical"
                           android:background="@drawable/edit_text_background"
                           android:backgroundTint="@color/colorGray"
                           android:hint="@string/aap_ka_naam"
                           android:singleLine="true"
                           style="@style/standardTextViewStyle"
                           tools:targetApi="lollipop"
                           app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"/>
    
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

edit_text_background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <item android:top="-3dp" android:left="-3dp" android:right="-3dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
               <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="@color/colorWhite" />
               <padding android:bottom="50dp" android:top="10dp" android:right="10dp"android:left="5dp"/>
               <solid android:color="#00000000" />
        </shape>
     </item>
</layer-list>

Styles

<style name="errorEnabledtextInputLayoutStyle">
        <item name="hintTextColor">@color/colorGraySix</item>
        <item name="helperTextTextColor">@color/colorNegative</item>
        <item name="hintEnabled">true</item>
</style>

Function

fun TextInputLayout.setErrorText(error : String, editText: EditText) {
     this.helperText = error
     editText.backgroundTintList = ColorStateList.valueOf(
            ResourcesCompat.getColor(resources,
            R.color.colorNegative, null)
      )
}

Usage

textInputLayoutUserName.setErrorText(getString(R.string.name_error), editTextUserName)

Here is how you can do it:

 <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:padding="8dp"
        android:id="@+id/tilSample"
        app:errorTextAppearance="@style/error_appearance"
        app:hintTextAppearance="@style/error_appearance"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/etSample"
            android:layout_margin="8dp"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:hint="android"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

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

style.xml

<style name="error_appearance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorRed</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
    </style>

colors.xml

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="colorPrimary">#3F51B5</color>
    <color name="colorPrimaryDark">#303F9F</color>
    <color name="colorAccent">#FF4081</color>
    <color name="colorRed">#f44336</color>
</resources>

EDIT

We can manipulate the error and hint colours in code also using:

tilSample.setErrorTextAppearance(R.style.error_appearance);  
tilSample.setHintTextAppearance(R.style.error_appearance);

You can use the "helperTextTextColor" attribute to do this.

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            app:hintTextColor="@color/color_login_text_hint"
            app:helperTextTextColor="@color/error_color">
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Here is another method which you may would try

fun wrapInCustomStyle(myText: String): Spannable? {
val spannable = SpannableString(myText) Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)

//Test 'Alignment.ALIGN_OPPOSIT' Too if not working

spannable.setSpan(

    AlignmentSpan.Standard(Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL), 0,
    myText.length, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE
) 
return spannable

}

InputLayout.error=wrapInCustomStyle("sample")

Now this is default behaviour. To achieve this, just update your support library version to 28+.

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
