TextInputEditText hint is covered by box outline - android

I'm using TextInputEditTexts as text entry, and when I select them, the hint moves up as it should, but is covered by the outline of the box. Does anyone know why that would be happening?

Code:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/title_layout"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColorHint="#color/grey"
android:theme="#style/OutlinedEditText"
app:boxStrokeColor="#color/blue"
app:hintTextColor="#color/blue"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/cover_art">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="24dp"
android:hint="#string/title"
android:inputType="textCapWords" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>


Remove in the TextInputEditText
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="24dp"
In this way you are adding a margin between the main container (TextInputLayout) and the EditText
Use:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/title_layout"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="24dp"
android:hint="...."
...
>
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:inputType="textCapWords" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>


You are placing android:hint="#string/title" attribute in com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText.
The android:hint="#string/title" should be placed in com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/title_layout"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColorHint="#color/grey"
android:theme="#style/OutlinedEditText"
app:boxStrokeColor="#color/blue"
app:hintTextColor="#color/blue"
android:hint="#string/title"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/cover_art">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_marginStart="24dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="24dp"
android:inputType="textCapWords" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Set hint on top of TextInputEditText in TextInputLayout

How to set hint of TextInputEditText on top of view.
I have the following edit text that user will type description of the product, but hint is on center of view.
Here is the XML code.
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/interestDescriptionView"
style="#style/TextInputLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:maxLines="5"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/tagsView"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/titleView"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/interestDescriptionEditTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:hint="Descrição *"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="start|top"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences"
android:importantForAutofill="no" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

You can set android:minLines to 2 or greater .. this will make it work
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/interestDescriptionView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:hint="Descrição *"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/textview"
app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/interestDescriptionEditTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="top"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:importantForAutofill="no"

EditText TextInputLayout Hint text alignment: Is there a way to align hint text like textAlignment property of EditText view

I have an inputText field(TextInputLayout's EditText) of fixed height.
I want to align hint text to top left of the view.
Problem: hint text is always displayed at center_verticle but I want to display it at top left corner.
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/aboutWrapper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="About Sponsor">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_about_sponsor"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="250dp"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="start|top"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textColorHint="#color/white"
android:textSize="#dimen/font_medium" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

As per this github issue you need to set android:minLines to at least 2 along with android:gravity="top".
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/txtInput"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="Hint">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/et_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="top"
**android:minLines="2"**
/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

You can use:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="About Sponsor">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:minHeight="250dp"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="start|top"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences"
.../>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Try to add style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox" style to the TextInputLayout
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/aboutWrapper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="About Sponsor">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_about_sponsor"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="250dp"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="start|top"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textMultiLine|textCapSentences"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textColorHint="#color/white"
android:textSize="#dimen/font_medium" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

You can use
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextTextPersonName5"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Message"
android:gravity="left|top"
android:inputType="textAutoComplete"
android:textAlignment="textStart" />
Here gravity attribute will help in aligning the text to whichever you want.
