Android Edit Text Set Error message appears over Navigation Drawer

Question

Upon a validation error for an edit text I use the set error function to display a message to the user why their input was wrong.

If the error message is showing, and the user opens the navigation drawer, the error message displays on top of the nav drawer.

Any ideas on how to have the error message display behind the nav drawer?

Thanks

One quick and dirty solution which seems to have resolved the issue was to have the nav draw call request focus upon opening, hence removing the pop up error message from the edit text (as it looses focus), however the error icon in the edit text remained.
