How to remove white box from TextInputLayout

Question

Today I have just updated my dependencies of material design

from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0-alpha09

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-alpha09'

Now i"m getting strange issue in com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout

Here is my Code

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/emailTextInputLayout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="@dimen/_10sdp">

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                    android:id="@+id/emailTextInputEditText"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:hint="@string/hint_enter_email"
                    android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"/>
        </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

after updating the dependencies I'm getting boxed design in my TextInputLayout

Output of above code

SOLVED

No need to use boxBackgroundMode

You need to add @style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout in your TextInputLayout

SAMPLE CODE

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/emailTextInputLayout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="@dimen/_10sdp"
                style="@style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout"
                app:errorTextAppearance="@style/error_appearance"
                android:textColorHint="@android:color/white">

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:id="@+id/emailTextInputEditText"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:backgroundTint="@android:color/white"
                    android:gravity="center"
                    android:hint="@string/hint_enter_email"
                    android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                    android:textColorHint="@android:color/white"
                    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
                    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/_15ssp"/>
        </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

OUTPUT

Answer 1

To revert back to old style with no filed background but only bottom border, one should use following style:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
           ...
           style="@style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout"
           ....
           >
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Using theme Widget.Design.TextInputLayout will generate expected output like below:

Answer 2

Using a material Theme the default style used by the TextInputLayout is @style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox

To obtain something similar just change the background color using the boxBackgroundColor attribute:

  <style name="CustomFilledBox" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox">
    <item name="boxBackgroundColor">@myColor</item>
  </style>

Also use the android:hint="@string/hint_enter_email" in the TextInputLayout not in the TextInputEditText

Answer 3

For me using @style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout produced undesirable formatting results, specifically alignment issues with the editText box.

I used boxBackgroundMode set to none for awhile, and after updating material design in my project the error icon mentioned started showing. May be a bug (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122445449).

For now I'm still setting the boxBackgroundMode to none, and hiding the error icon by setting the color to transparent. This way I keep the material design.

app:boxBackgroundMode="none"
app:errorIconTint="@android:color/transparent"



<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="5dp"
        app:boxBackgroundMode="none"
        app:errorIconTint="@android:color/transparent"
        app:hintEnabled="false">

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/message_ellipsis"
            android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
            android:paddingTop="10dp" />
    </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
