Android EditText with animated hint?

How can I create an Android EditText with a hint like this (with animation)?
So when I tap inside the EditText, the hint shrinks and goes on top of the input text, like in this example:

Use the code given below for all purposes:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/textField"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/label">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
For Password filed with toggle eye use this:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
...
app:endIconMode="password_toggle">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
...
android:inputType="textPassword" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Hint Text is overlapping to my TextInputLayout

In my app, I have a TextInputLayout where the user enters its id, when the TextInputLayout does not have the focus looks like:
However, when the user touch the TextInputLayout (get the focus) the hint text looks like:
And I need hint text looks like as the follow image when the TextInputLayout have the focus:
Ignore the icon, its different but it does not matter in this moment, that I want to do is the hint text looks like the last image
Here is my code:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/ilUser"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:textColorHint="#color/et_login">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etUser"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/et_login_height"
android:background="#drawable/edit_text_format"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/user"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
android:hint="#string/user_id_text_hint"
android:inputType="number"
android:maxLength="12"
android:minLines="15"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:textCursorDrawable="#drawable/cursor_drawable_app"
android:textSize="#dimen/h5"
android:theme="#style/EditTextTheme" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

you cant do this by default edit text you can use some library in your app to apply this ...
library is here :
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1'
and if you want to learn i recommend to see this tutorial :

see this and you can get your answer...

When you use TextInputLayout is highly recommended to use TextInputEditText instead of EditText
Example:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/ilUser"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:textColorHint="#color/et_login">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/etUser"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/et_login_height"
android:background="#drawable/edit_text_format"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/user"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
android:hint="#string/user_id_text_hint"
android:inputType="number"
android:maxLength="12"
android:minLines="15"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:textCursorDrawable="#drawable/cursor_drawable_app"
android:textSize="#dimen/h5"
android:theme="#style/EditTextTheme" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
That should solve it!

How to remove bottom highlight in AppCompatEditText Inside TextInputLayout on Material Theme?

I'm creating a password field with custom background using TextInputLayout and AppCompatEditText. Before using Theme.MaterialComponents the the field was fine, but after using it, my AppCompatEditText start showing a line highlight at the bottom. I'm sure it is because of Material styling, but I couldn't figure out which attribute I can use to remove the line and I also not really sure whether it is on the TextInputLayout or the AppCompatEditText.
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="6dp"
app:hintEnabled="false"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/passwordInput"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="6dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:background="#drawable/bg_input_border"
android:fontFamily="#font/opensans_regular"
android:hint="#string/password_hint"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingTop="13dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingBottom="13dp"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

You can set boxStrokeWidth value
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
...
app:boxStrokeWidth="0dp"
...
or Programmatically
textInputLayout.setBoxStrokeWidth(0);

How do I top start the hint text within an TextInputEditText in Android?

I need [top|start] hint text an TextInputEditText..
I use android:gravity="top|start" hint text still in center, but the text content is correct (top start)
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:counterEnabled="true"
app:counterMaxLength="200">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:text="#={textProg.textProg.text}"
android:hint="Hint Text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:gravity="top|start"
android:maxLength="200"
android:textColor="#drawable/edit_text_color"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

i don't know why your code doesn't work with you it work with me , but you can try this i hope it work .
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:counterEnabled="true"
app:counterMaxLength="200">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:text="#={textProg.textProg.text}"
android:hint="Hint Text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:ellipsize="start"
android:gravity="top"
android:maxLength="200"
/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

why you not try by adding this android:ellipsize="top|start"

Probably it's an issue related to material design library. I have checked with different version and found different scenarios for same layout. Among them below version gives me the result that you want to achieve.
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha01'
Output:

Enabling both errorEnabled and passwordToggleEnabled in a TextInputLayout

I want to set both errorEnabled and passwordToggleEnabled to true in a TextInputLayout, but it seems that these two can't coexist because the one covers the other like this.
I want to do this because I'm validating the password field to match a specific criteria and I want the user to be able to see both the error message and the password that's been typed in.
This is my code:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:counterEnabled="true"
app:errorEnabled="true"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/password_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/password"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Is it possible to move the passwordToggle-icon a bit to the left of the exclamation mark? Or do I have to create a custom drawable and use this instead of the passwordToggle-icon?

Try Setting setError() on TextInputLayout insead of TextInputEditText
xml
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/ti_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:counterEnabled="true"
app:errorEnabled="true"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/password_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Password"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
Code
if(password_input.getText().toString().equals(""))
ti_input.setError("Enter Password");
else
ti_input.setError(null);

This works for me. don't use setError() on the EditText, use TextInputLayout's setError()
