TextInputLayout hint color

Question

I'm using new Google design library (com.android.support:design:22.2.0) and I have problem with android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout.

If I set its EditText programmatically, floating hint color is gray instead of accent color. It works if user fills field (EditText) itself or if he changes preddefined value of field.

This is my code:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="match_parent">
        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/register_username"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/register_username"
            android:inputType="text"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

After user clicks some button it fill field via setText() method of EditText and floating hint becomes gray. Is it bug or I'm missing something?
