What is material edit text?

EditText is one of the important UI elements. Edittext refers to the widget that displays an empty text field in which a user can enter the required text and this text is further used inside the application.

How do you edit a text box on Android?

Step 1: Create a new project in Android Studio and name it EditTextExample. Step 2: Now Open res -> layout -> xml (or) activity_main. xml and add following code. In this code we have added multiple edittext and a button with onclick functionality.

How do you use TextInputLayout?

Android TexInputLayout extends LinearLayout. The primary use of a TextInputLayout is to act as a wrapper for EditText(or its descendant) and enable floating hint animations. Rule of Thumb : TextInputLayout should wrap TextInputEditText instead of the normal EditText.

Read Outline Box .

Outline text fields have a stroked border and are less emphasized. To use an outline text field, apply the following style to your TextInputLayout:

 style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

Dependencies

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha1' 

XML

   <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
   android:id="@+id/name_text_input"
   style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   >

   <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
       android:id="@+id/name_edit_text"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:hint="@string/label_name" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

DEMO

FYI

Legacy support ended in Android 28 . Now onward use

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'

UPDATE

Also working fine with

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

Using implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha1' I'm getting below error

Cannot resolve symbol '@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlineBox'

Solution

Make below changes in your Build.Gradle

Use compileSdkVersion 28

Use targetSdkVersion 28

Use Below dependencies

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha3'

Sample code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/activity_main"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context="com.example.dangarmahesh.demoapp.MainActivity">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="250dp"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:layout_height="250dp" />

    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/userIDTextInputLayout"
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"

        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/userIDTextInputEditText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="User ID" />
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/passwordTextInputLayout"
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/passwordTextInputEditText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Password" />

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


    <Button
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        android:text="LOGIN"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

With the migration to androidx libraries you have to use the new Material Components for android library.

Use the TextInputLayout component:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/hint_text">

  <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

And apply this style:

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

enter image description here

Requirements:

  • you have to add this dependencies in your build.gradle file

    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:<version>'

  • apply a Material Components theme

    <style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents">

You need to add this dependency to your "module level" build.gradle com.google.android.material to use latest material UI components.

Use this style in your com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout then,

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

Checkout from here


If you're using com.android.support:design library then you should change your app style to Theme.MaterialComponents...Bridge (I.e. like change style from Theme.AppCompat.Light to Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Bridge)

first,

Next, you have to use this style in your android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout:

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

If you are using appcompact library then you can go with this android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout

if you are using ANDROIDX build so I come to one conclusion who is having latest code according to android jetpack.

For using this you need to have this dependencies in your app gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
}

then this way you can add to your xml for the UI element

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:id="@+id/messageTextInputLayout"
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="10dp">

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/passwordTextInputEditText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Enter Text here" />

</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
