Changing the color of TextInputLayout's Counter

I'm trying to change the color of TextInputLayout's counter
I've tried the accepted answers but they do not work.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/33880925/11110509
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/til_custom_msg"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:hint="Message"
app:counterEnabled="true"
app:counterMaxLength="300"
//Accepted answer one
app:counterTextAppearance="#android:color/white">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/et_custom_msg"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/colorWhite" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
Accepted answer two:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/41257235/11110509
<style name="CounterStyle" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/white</item>
<!--other parameters that you want to change -->
</style>
app:counterTextAppearance="#style/CounterStyle"
The issue maybe because my TextInputLayout uses the material version
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
and theirs uses the support
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
If so, how can I do it with the Material one?

Simply use
'app:counterTextColor="YOUR_PREFERRED_COLOR"'
Resource: CounterTextColor

TextInputLayout will not set errorIconDrawable

When I use style="#style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout" for TextInputLayout, setting app:errorIconDrawable does nothing. It only works when I don't set the style and let it inherit the application theme (Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar). app:endIconDrawable also doesn't work and I cannot find an alternative/solution to this problem. Please help!
The following works while inheriting the application theme:Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar but I don't want this style, particularly the underline doesn't align with the texts:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/login_password_input_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="username"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/login_password_input_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
This uses the style that I need but will not show the error icon:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/login_password_input_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="username"
style="#style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/login_password_input_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Since you are using the legacy style Widget.Design.TextInputLayout it doesn't have support for all text field features that the *.OutlinedBox and *.FilledBox styles have.
You can't set the errorIconDrawable in the xml and you have to call TextInputLayout.setErrorIconDrawable after TextInputLayout.setError.
login_password_input_layout.setError("Error text!!");
login_password_input_layout.setErrorIconDrawable(R.drawable....);

hmm, see if you use directly below
style="#style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout"
then your error drawable becomes null.
What I would suggest you is, create a style, modify the values as you like
<style name="TextLabel" parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
<item name="android:textColorHint">#f32</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#4CAF50</item>
<item name="errorIconDrawable">#drawable/ic_baseline_error_24</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#E91E63</item>
<item name="errorEnabled">true</item>
</style>
and then apply it to via
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/login_password_input_layout"
android:theme="#style/TextLabel"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:hint="username"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/login_password_input_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
This should solve.

TextInputLayout not showing hint while typing

I am using TextInputLayout from com.android.support:design.My problem is that when the editText gets focus, the hint is not displayed above the editText, and when the editText loses the focus after typing in it, the hint appears above the editText. I want the hint to appear above the editText when it gets focus in addition to the appearance when it loses focus.
My xml file:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/et_id"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number"
android:hint="#string/id_hint"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
and in my gradle I am using:
compile 'com.android.support:design:26.0.2'
Thank you very much

Try this Define style
<style name="TextInputLayoutLabelGrey" parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/your_color</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/your_color</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/your_color</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/your_color</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/your_color</item>
</style>
Your layout xml
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:theme="#style/TextInputLayoutLabelGrey">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/et_id"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number"
android:hint="#string/id_hint"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

you need to use TextInputEditText instead
ex:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/textInputUserName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/etUserName"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/emailorPhone"
android:imeActionLabel="#string/next"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="text" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

How to set the color of the counter on a TextInputLayout?

I'm using a TextInputLayout wrapped around an EditText. Right now the counter is black, I'd like it to be white. I'm not sure what option to set to get it to be white.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:counterEnabled="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textColorHint="#color/white"
>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/myfield"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:backgroundTint="#color/white"
android:hint="#string/myfield_hint"
android:inputType="text"
android:maxLength="26"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textColorHint="#color/white"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

I decided to write this answer based on comments from previous one.
At first, you need to create the style for your counter, for example:
<style name="CounterStyle" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#android:color/white</item>
<!--other parameters that you want to change -->
</style>
Then add this style to TextInputLayout:
app:counterTextAppearance="#style/CounterStyle"
That's all, it should works. Full code:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:counterEnabled="true"
app:counterTextAppearance="#style/CounterStyle"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textColorHint="#color/white">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/myfield"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:backgroundTint="#color/white"
android:hint="#string/myfield_hint"
android:inputType="text"
android:maxLength="26"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textColorHint="#color/white"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
You can also use some style for the overflow counter:
app:counterOverflowTextAppearance="#style/YourOverflowTextStyleHere"
As described here (thanks #Sufian for the link)

Please add:
app:counterTextAppearance="#android:color/white"
to your TextInputLayout.
Hope this helps!
