 <LinearLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"

                    android:inputType="number" />
            </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

I want to get the for example the text_input_layout, through edit text eT for handling errors in the TIL (i do this in other module, so i don't want to pass edit text and TIL to this module).

Answer 1

@Sami-Issa is right

edittext.getParent().getParent() 

returns the TextInputLayout

Answer 2

Note: The actual view hierarchy present under TextInputLayout is NOT guaranteed to match the view hierarchy as written in XML. As a result, calls to getParent() on children of the TextInputLayout -- such as an TextInputEditText -- may not return the TextInputLayout itself, but rather an intermediate View. If you need to access a View directly, set an android:id and use findViewById(int). https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/TextInputLayout

but if you still want to do it, you can do it by using a method like this:

private static TextInputLayout findTextInputLayoutParent(View view) {
    return findTextInputLayoutParent(view.getParent(), 3);
}

private static TextInputLayout findTextInputLayoutParent(ViewParent view, int maxDepth) {
    if (view.getParent() instanceof TextInputLayout) {
        return (TextInputLayout) view.getParent();
    } else if (maxDepth > 0){
        return findTextInputLayoutParent(view.getParent(), maxDepth -1);
    }
    return null;
}
