I'm updating my app UI UX and I had to change the theme from AppCompat to Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar. Suddenly now icon for my Material widgets having an issue. First I found the custom drawable I set for MaterialCheckBox changed to a single color which makes the checkbox looks like a gray cube
For this I was able to solve it by adding app:useMaterialThemeColors="false" in the XML.
As for TextInputLayout, I have no idea how to fix it. I need to put a custom password toggle icon, but due to this issue, I could only see an oval shape icon as it changes my drawable color into gray.
My TextInputLayout
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#style/MyTextInputLayoutStyle"
android:hint="password"
app:endIconDrawable="#drawable/selector_eye"
app:startIconDrawable="#drawable/ic_password"
app:endIconMode="password_toggle" >
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawablePadding="16dp"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:background="#drawable/selector_edittext"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
MyTextInputLayoutStyle Style
<style name="MyTextInputLayoutStyle" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox">
<item name="fontFamily">#font/myfont</item>
<item name="android:textSize">#dimen/_16ssp</item>
<item name="boxStrokeWidth">0dp</item>
<item name="boxStrokeWidthFocused">0dp</item>
<item name="boxBackgroundColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="hintTextColor">#color/light_black</item>
<item name="hintTextAppearance">#style/MyFont.10</item>
<item name="errorTextColor">#color/error</item>
<item name="errorTextAppearance">#style/MyFont.10</item>
</style>
After hours of try and error, finally found a solution(or this is a workaround? If there are better solution, please let me know).
Adding app:endIconTint="#null" into my TextInputLayout solved the issue. Now my icon showing correct color as per my drawable.

I want to change the grey color to white.
For Changing the border color and hintTextColor, you can use
app:boxStrokeColor="your color"
app:hintTextColor="your color" /*This changes the color of hint when it's collapsed
and moved to top that's when user enters a character.*/
app:textColorHint="your color" //This is the text color of uncollapsed hint that's the default state.
Furthermore, if you want to create a style then this is the complete style I use which you can modify as you need.
<style name="TextInputLayoutAppearanceOutLined" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox">
<item name="hintTextAppearance">#style/HintText</item>
<item name="helperTextTextAppearance">#style/HelperText</item>
<item name="counterTextAppearance">#style/HelperText</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/dark_grey</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/dark_grey</item>
<item name="hintTextColor">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="boxStrokeColor">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="startIconTint">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="endIconTint">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="boxBackgroundColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="boxCornerRadiusBottomEnd">10dp</item>
<item name="boxCornerRadiusBottomStart">10dp</item>
<item name="boxCornerRadiusTopEnd">10dp</item>
<item name="boxCornerRadiusTopStart">10dp</item>
<item name="boxStrokeWidthFocused">2dp</item>
<item name="hintEnabled">true</item>
<!--<item name="hintAnimationEnabled">true</item>-->
</style>
These are the style elements to change HelperText or HintText apperance:
<style name="HintText" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Hint">
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
<style name="HelperText" parent="TextAppearance.Design.HelperText">
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
And set it to TextInputlayout as style="#style/TextInputLayoutAppearanceOutLined". Whatever mentioned in the style, you can use it in XML layout tag as well.
Also, the official docs of Material TextInputLayout are very important and easy to understand unlike the developer docs of Android and you should read them once to know more about it here.
I have an edit profile screen with bunch of TextInputEditTexts. It worked fine before, but now on focus underline, cursor and hint become invisible.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
...
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/tilFirstName"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="#id/ivContactIcon"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/gEnd"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/toolbar"

android:maxLines="1"
android:nextFocusForward="#id/etLastName"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
...
UPDATE:
After changing background of the root element it's clear that these elements become white. not disappeared.
The default style used by the TextInputLayout is
<style name="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox" parent="Base.Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout">
<!-- underline color in FilledBox style -->
<item name="boxStrokeColor">#color/mtrl_filled_stroke_color</item>
<!-- The color of the label when it is collapsed and the text field is active -->
<item name="hintTextColor">?attr/colorPrimary</item>
....
</style>
The mtrl_filled_stroke_color is based on the colorOnSurface.
Check in your theme the colorPrimary and the colorOnSurface values, or use a custom style with the same attributes described above.
If you're struggling like I did and the above solutions didn't work, it may be that your project's theme was set up with a white colorPrimary.
To fix you could create a custom style for your TextEdits and apply it to each:
styles.xml:
<style name="AppThemeCorrectPrimaryColor" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/notAWhiteColor</item>
</style>
EditText:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/AppThemeCorrectPrimaryColor"
/>
I created the style for the TextInputLayout and define the colorControlActivated like
<style name="Widget.AppTheme.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense">
<item name="hintTextColor">#color/black</item>
<item name="boxBackgroundColor">#color/greyLight</item>
<item name="boxStrokeWidth">0dp</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/orange</item>
</style>
and use theming instead of styling on the TextInputLayout
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:theme="#style/Widget.AppTheme.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
I'm doing the following in my syles.xml
<style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/app_white</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">#color/app_white</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">#color/app_white</item>
<item name="android:textSize">#dimen/app_text_small</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/app_white</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/app_white</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/app_white</item>
</style>
and then setting the style to the TextInputLayout like so: android:theme="#style/TextLabel"
My problem is that it won't set the colors of the bottom border to white, nor the floating text. At least not on 4.1.1 and 4.2.2 Any ideas? On 5.0 and above it works just fine.
Create a style for your text appearance in this way.
<style name="TextAppearence.App.TextInputLayout" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
Implementation code for your layout is given below.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/input_layout_email"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/TextAppearence.App.TextInputLayout">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_Email_Login"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:hint="#string/hint_email" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Apparently the problem is that pre Lollipop the OS doesn't know the android:theme attribute. So what I did was move all the custom attributes from the TextLabel style to the maine style that overrides the app compat one directly.
i.e.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
This seemed to be just fine on pre Lollipop.
With reference to the new TextInputLayout released by Google, how do I change the floating label text color?
Setting colorControlNormal, colorControlActivated, colorControlHighLight in styles does not help.
This is what I have now:
Try The Below Code It Works In Normal State
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/TextLabel">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Hiiiii"
android:id="#+id/edit_id"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
In Styles Folder TextLabel Code
<style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/Color Name</item>
</style>
Set To Main Theme of App,It Works Only Highlight State Only
<item name="colorAccent">#color/Color Name</item>
Update:
UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to color: type=0x2 in api 16 or below
Solution
Update:
Are you using Material Components Library
You can add below lines to your main theme
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/your_color</item> // Activated State
<item name="colorOnSurface">#color/your_color</item> // Normal State
or else do you want different colors in noraml state and activated state and with customization follow below code
<style name="Widget.App.TextInputLayout" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox">
<item name="materialThemeOverlay">#style/ThemeOverlay.App.TextInputLayout</item>
<item name="shapeAppearance">#style/ShapeAppearance.App.SmallComponent</item> //Changes the Shape Apperance
<!--<item name="hintTextColor">?attr/colorOnSurface</item>--> //When you added this line it will applies only one color in normal and activate state i.e colorOnSurface color
</style>
<style name="ThemeOverlay.App.TextInputLayout" parent="">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item> //Activated color
<item name="colorOnSurface">#color/colorPrimary</item> //Normal color
<item name="colorError">#color/colorPrimary</item> //Error color
//Text Appearance styles
<item name="textAppearanceSubtitle1">#style/TextAppearance.App.Subtitle1</item>
<item name="textAppearanceCaption">#style/TextAppearance.App.Caption</item>
<!--Note: When setting a materialThemeOverlay on a custom TextInputLayout style, don’t forget to set editTextStyle to either a #style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputEditText.* style or to a custom one that inherits from that.
The TextInputLayout styles set materialThemeOverlay that overrides editTextStyle with the specific TextInputEditText style needed. Therefore, you don’t need to specify a style tag on the edit text.-->
<item name="editTextStyle">#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputEditText.OutlinedBox</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.App.Subtitle1" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Subtitle1">
<item name="fontFamily">#font/your_font</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">#font/your_font</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.App.Caption" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Caption">
<item name="fontFamily">#font/your_font</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">#font/your_font</item>
</style>
<style name="ShapeAppearance.App.SmallComponent" parent="ShapeAppearance.MaterialComponents.SmallComponent">
<item name="cornerFamily">cut</item>
<item name="cornerSize">4dp</item>
</style>
Add the below line to your main theme or else you can set style to textinputlayout in your xml
<item name="textInputStyle">#style/Widget.App.TextInputLayout</item>
<style name="TextAppearance.App.TextInputLayout" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/red</item>
<item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
</style>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColorHint="#color/gray" //support 23.0.0
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/TextAppearence.App.TextInputLayout" >
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/hint" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Found the answer, use android.support.design:hintTextAppearance attribute to set your own floating label appearance.
Example:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/prompt_password"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
how do I change the floating label text color?
With the Material Components library you can customize the TextInputLayout the hint text color using (it requires the version 1.1.0)
In the layout:
app:hintTextColor attribute : the color of the label when it is collapsed and the text field is active
android:textColorHint attribute: the color of the label in all other text field states (such as resting and disabled)
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
app:hintTextColor="#color/mycolor"
android:textColorHint="#color/text_input_hint_selector"
.../>
extending a material style Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.*:
<style name="MyFilledBox" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox">
<item name="hintTextColor">#color/mycolor</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/text_input_hint_selector</item>
</style>
The default selector for android:textColorHint is:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:alpha="0.38" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface" android:state_enabled="false"/>
<item android:alpha="0.6" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface"/>
</selector>
You don't need to use android:theme="#style/TextInputLayoutTheme" to change the floating label color, since it's going to affect to the entire theme for the small TextView used as label. Instead, you could use app:hintTextAppearance="#style/TextInputLayout.HintText" where:
<style name="TextInputLayout.HintText">
<item name="android:textColor">?attr/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:textSize">#dimen/text_tiny_size</item>
...
</style>
Let me know if the solution works :-)
Ok, so, I found this answer very helpful and thanks to all the people who contributed. Just to add something, though. The accepted answer is indeed the correct answer...BUT...in my case, I was looking to implement the error message below the EditText widget with app:errorEnabled="true" and this single line made my life difficult. it seems that this overrides the theme I chose for android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout, which has a different text color defined by android:textColorPrimary.
In the end I took to applying a text color directly to the EditText widget. My code looks something like this:
styles.xml
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/my_yellow</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/my_yellow_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/my_yellow_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/dark_gray</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/light_gray</item>
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/dark_gray</item>
<item name="android:colorControlNormal">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:colorControlActivated">#android:color/white</item>
And my widget:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/log_in_layout_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:errorEnabled="true">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/log_in_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="#string/log_in_name"
android:inputType="textPersonName" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Now it displays black text color instead of the textColorPrimary white.
Programmatically you can use:
/* Here you get int representation of an HTML color resources */
int yourColorWhenEnabled = ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.your_color_enabled);
int yourColorWhenDisabled = ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.your_color_disabled);
/* Here you get matrix of states, I suppose it is a matrix because using a matrix you can set the same color (you have an array of colors) for different states in the same array */
int[][] states = new int[][]{new int[]{android.R.attr.state_enabled}, new int[]{-android.R.attr.state_enabled}};
/* You pass a ColorStateList instance to "setDefaultHintTextColor" method, remember that you have a matrix for the states of the view and an array for the colors. So the color in position "colors[0x0]" will be used for every states inside the array in the same position inside the matrix "states", so in the array "states[0x0]". So you have "colors[pos] -> states[pos]", or "colors[pos] -> color used for every states inside the array of view states -> states[pos] */
myTextInputLayout.setDefaultHintTextColor(new ColorStateList(states, new int[]{yourColorWhenEnabled, yourColorWhenDisabled})
Explanation:
Get int color value from a color resource (a way to present rgb colors used by android).
I wrote ColorEnabled, but really it should be, for this answer, ColorHintExpanded & ColorViewCollapsed. Anyway this is the color you will see when the hint of a view "TextInputLayout" is on Expanded or Collapsed state; you will set it by using next array on function "setDefaultHintTextColor" of the view.
Reference:
Reference for TextInputLayout - search in this page the method
"setDefaultHintTextColor" for more info
Looking to docs above you can see that the functions set the colors for Expanded & Collapsed hint by using a ColorStateList.
ColorStateList docs
To create the ColorStateList I first created a matrix with the states I want, in my case state_enabled & state_disabled (whose are, in TextInputLayout, equals to Hint Expanded and Hint Collapsed [I don't remember in which order lol, anyway I found it just doing a test]).
Then I pass to the constructor of the ColorStateList the arrays with int values of color resources, these colors have a correspondences with the states matrix (every element in colors array correspond to the respective array in states matrix at same position). So the first element of the colors array will be used as color for every state in the first array of the states matrix (in our case the array has only 1 element: enabled state = hint expanded state for TextInputLayut).
Last things states have positive / negative values, and you have only the positive values, so the state "disabled" in android attrs is "-android.state.enabled", the state "not focused" is "-android.state.focused" ecc.. ecc..
Hope this is helpful.
Bye have a nice coding (:
I suggest you make style theme for TextInputLayout and change only accent color. Set parent to your app base theme:
<style name="MyTextInputLayout" parent="MyAppThemeBase">
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/MyTextInputLayout">
In the latest version of the support library (23.0.0+), TextInputLayout takes the following attribute in XML to edit the floating label color: android:textColorHint="#color/white"
Instead of Brahmam Yamani answer I prefer to use Widget.Design.TextInputLayout as parent. That ensures, that all required items are present, even if not all items are overwritten. In Yamanis answer, the app will crash with an unresolvable resource, if setErrorEnabled(true) is called.
Simply change the style to the following:
<style name="TextLabel" parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/Color Name</item>
</style>
To change color of hint and edit text underline color : colorControlActivated
To change character counter color : textColorSecondary
To change error message color : colorControlNormal
To change password visibility button tint : colorForeground
For more info on TextInputLayout read http://www.zoftino.com/android-textinputlayout-tutorial
<style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#e91e63</item>
<item name="android:colorForeground">#33691e</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#f57f17</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#673ab7</item>
</style>
In my case I added this "app:hintTextAppearance="#color/colorPrimaryDark"in my TextInputLayout widget.
From the documentation:
The hint should be set on the TextInputLayout, rather than the EditText. If a hint is specified on the child EditText in XML, the TextInputLayout might still work correctly; TextInputLayout will use the EditText's hint as its floating label. However, future calls to modify the hint will not update TextInputLayout's hint. To avoid unintended behavior, call setHint(CharSequence) and getHint() on TextInputLayout, instead of on EditText.
So I set android:hint and app:hintTextColor on TextInputLayout, not on TextInputEditText and it worked.
This is simple but the developer gets confused due to multiple views having the same attributes in different configurations/namespaces.
In the case of the TextInputLayout we have every time a different view and with params either with TextInputEditText or directly to TextInputLayout.
I was using all the above fixes:
But I found that I was using
app:textColorHint="#color/textcolor_black"
actually i should be using
android:textColorHint="#color/textcolor_black"
As an attribute of TextinputLayout
textcolor_black.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#color/black_txt" android:state_enabled="true" />
<item android:color="#color/black_txt" android:state_selected="true" />
<item android:color="#color/txtColorGray" android:state_selected="false" />
<item android:color="#color/txtColorGray" android:state_enabled="false" />
</selector>
Too many complicated solutions. Here is a one liner to change the color of the floating label.
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
app:hintTextColor="#color/white"/>
In addition to change other attributes:
To change the box stroke color:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
app:boxStrokeColor="#color/green"
To change the box stroke width:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
app:boxStrokeWidth="1.5dp"
To change the edit TextInputEditText hint color:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:textColorHint="#color/white"
To change the TextInputEditText color:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:textColor="#color/white" />
you should change your colour here
<style name="Base.Theme.DesignDemo" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#FF4081</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/window_background</item>
</style>
Now, simply using colorAccent and colorPrimary will work perfectly.
I solve the problem.
This is Layout：
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/til_username"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/username"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText android:id="#+id/et_username"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
This is Style:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!--
Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
backward-compatibility can go here.
-->
</style>
<!-- Application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme">
<!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/pink</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/purple</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/yellow</item>
</style>
You should use your theme in application:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
</application>
to change color of the text label when you are focusing on it. i.e. typing in it. you have to add specify
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/yourcolorhere</item>
Just a note:
You have to add all these implementations to your main theme.
Its Working for me .....
add hint color in TextInputLayout
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:textColorHint="#ffffff"
android:id="#+id/input_layout_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtTextPassword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:hint="Password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:singleLine="true"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
I tried using android:textColorHint in the android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout it works fine.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColorHint="#color/colorAccent">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Hello"
android:imeActionLabel="Hello"
android:imeOptions="actionUnspecified"
android:maxLines="1"
android:singleLine="true"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<style name="AppTheme2" parent="AppTheme">

add this to styles and set TextInputLayout Theam to App2 and it will work ;)

android:hint="Hint"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/TextInputLayoutHint">
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
android:maxLines="1"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/_5sdp"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textColorHint="#959aa6" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
res/values/styles.xml
<style name="TextInputLayoutHint" parent="">
<item name="android:textColorHint">#545454</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#2dbc99</item>
<item name="android:textSize">11sp</item>
</style>
Can use app:hintTextColor if you use com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout, try this
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/app_name"
app:hintTextColor="#android:color/white">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
Try The Below Code It Works In Normal State
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/TextLabel">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Hiiiii"
android:id="#+id/edit_id"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
In Styles Folder TextLabel Code
<style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/Color Name</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/Color Name</item>
</style>
Because you must add colorControlNormal, colorControlActivated, colorControlHighLight items to main application theme:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/yellow_bright</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/yellow_black</item>
</style>
