How to align text in TextInputLayout in android?

In a RelativeLayout I have a TextInputLayout where I have EditText inside it to type phone number and a Textview inside a LinearLayout where I am showing the country code.
When we start typing `TextInputLayout slide to top, but I want it to slide to as in image 3.
I am facing issue in this can somebody help me?
This is my code:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/error_mobile_no"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/error_mobile_no"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/error_mobile_no"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/country_code_textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fontFamily="#font/lorin_regular"
android:text="+971"
android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="14sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/error_mobile_no"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
app:errorEnabled="true">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etPhoneNumberDetailedActivity"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:autofillHints=""
android:paddingStart="35dp"
android:backgroundTint="#6283a3"
android:fontFamily="#font/lorin_regular"
android:hint="#string/mobile_number"
android:inputType="phone"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textColorHint="#6283a3" android:textSize="14sp" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
This is an image of the field before entering text.
This is the image after entering text.
But I am trying to get it to look like this.

You can use the app:prefixText to display the prefix:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:hint="mobile_number"
app:prefixText="+971"
...>
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:autofillHints=""
android:inputType="phone"
.../>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

How can I prevent FrameLayout from shadowing my Views?

My interface looks like this:
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/profile_fields_container"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp">
<TextView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

<EditText

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="#string/account_person_retypePassword_label" />
<EditText

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:minWidth="150dp"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/learner_tutor_status_label" />
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatSpinner
android:id="#+id/learner_tutor_status_spinner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<!--Floating Button-->
<Button
android:id="#+id/create_account"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:text="#string/create_account_string"
style="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored"/>
</FrameLayout>
Now, you can see at the bottom there is I am here to.... This is a dropdown and when I choose one of the options, my code dynamically adds a few views to the hierarchy but the problem is they are not visible(not all of them; just I am a... is visible.)
I checked the layout hierarchy through the Layout inspector and turns out that the hierarchy is alive but the floating button(Create Account) has overshadowed it.
Now, I know if I were to replace the root FrameLayout with a LinearLayout, it would be visible but the problem is that if then I would click on a EditText button, the keypad would cover the screen with the Create Account button as covered too. I actually want this button to be on the screen at all times.
Does anyone how can I get around this problem?

Your layout is not totally correct because your floating button hides the bottom of your ScrollView all the time. You should replace the FrameLayout with a vertical LinearLayout (just like you said) and then specify the window behavior of your activity when the soft keyboard pops up with the windowSoftInputMode attribute in your activity element on the AndroidManifest.xml file. If you use android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize", the window will resize accordingly and the button should be always visible.

Designing password text with show password button

I am trying to design EditText for password with show password imageView. However I cannot design it correctly beacuse I cannot see ImageView, since EditText's layout_width="fill_parent". When I change it to wrap_content, I can see my ImageView but then it looks very bad in UI. Is it possible to design it without giving fixed size?
Here is my code;
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/registerPassword"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/register_password"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/fragment_login_password_visibility"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_partial_secure"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:clickable="true"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
EDIT:
android:layout_weight=1 solved issue. Now I can see ImageView left of EditText. However now, I TextInputLayout hint is not working.

You don't need use ImageView.
Support Library adds support for the password visibility toggle in recent update (revision 24.2.0 - August 2016).
try it:
setPasswordVisibilityToggleDrawable(int resId)
Set the icon to use for the password visibility toggle button.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/TextInputLayout.html

First set android:weightSum of LinearLayout to "1". Then, set android:layout_width and android:layout_weight of EditText to "0dp" and "1", respectively.

Did you try to use weight?
android:layout_weight="1"
and
android:layout_width="0dp" or android:layout_width="wrap_content"
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/registerPassword"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="#string/register_password"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/fragment_login_password_visibility"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:src="#android:drawable/ic_partial_secure"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:clickable="true"/>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Try this :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Password"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:paddingRight="60dp"
/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/showpass"
android:layout_marginLeft="-60dp"
style="?android:buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/pass_ic"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>

I recommend using a TextInputLayout with passwordToggleDrawable .
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/textInputPasswordLayout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:passwordToggleContentDescription="Show"
app:passwordToggleDrawable="#drawable/ic_password_visibility_selector"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/textInputEditTextPassword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:hint="#string/enter_your_password"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
app:passwordToggleDrawable="#drawable/ic_password_visibility_selector" assign your drawable

Edittext fields increases the size

In my android project, main_activity.xml is looks like:--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginEnd="30dp"
android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linear1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|top"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingBottom="8dp" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top|center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="10"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:inputType="text"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textAppearance="#style/AppTheme"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:layout_weight="75"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:inputType="text"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textAppearance="#style/AppTheme"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/ok"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:layout_weight="10"
android:maxWidth="48dp"
android:minHeight="48dp"
android:minWidth="48dp"
android:text="OK"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textAppearance="#style/AppTheme"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
this format is looks like:-- "Mr. Annonomus button(ok)"...Mr. is an edittext field,Annonomus is also a edittext field and a ok button..
It displays fine..But the problem is when I start writting into the second edittext field(means want to write "Annonomus" ) the edittext size is increasing and the ok button and another edittext field is decreasing in size..
How can i get that when I write any long name to edittext field the edittext field will remain same..

Use this code for your editText:
int px = editTextMessage.getWidth();
editTextMessage.setMaxWidth(px);

You're using android:layout_width="wrap_content" and android:layout_weight in all the components inside the linearlayout.
You must change the android:layout_width to match_parent or a fixed value and remove the android:layout_weight of them. Don't forget to remove the latter, otherwise it won't work.

Set android:maxLines="1" or android:singleLine="true" property in your EditText.

Edittext loses style when align_baseline used

I have a layout where I have RelativeLayout with some Edittext which use the default style and are baseline aligned with some Textfield. The issue is the Edittext are losing the default Holo Light style line (the line under the text). If I take out the baseline then the line is shown though, of course, the Edittext loses the alignment.
I suspect this is bug or at least a very strange behavior, but I will give it a try by asking here in SO :-)
This is how it looks (Edittexts are the blank spaces to the right of Opens and Closes TextViews):
This is my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="50"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/store_name_edit"
android:hint="#string/store_name"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/store_code_edit"
android:hint="#string/store_code"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/store_group_edit"
android:hint="#string/store_group"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/store_type_edit"
android:hint="#string/store_type"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/store_address_edit"
android:hint="#string/store_street"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" />
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="20dip"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:text="#string/store_description" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/opening"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:text="#string/store_opening_hours" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/opens"
android:layout_below="#id/opening"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:text="#string/store_open" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/opens_edit"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/opens"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#id/opens"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/closes"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#id/opens"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/opens_edit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:text="#string/store_close" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/closes_edit"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#id/opens"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/closes"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

My guess is the containing RelativeLayout somehow isn't expanding to allow for the lines on the EditTexts to show.
Change the containing RelativeLayout to:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="100dp">
I realise this may not be the best solution but it's a start. Another option might be to try using alignParentBottom instead of baseline on all the "bottom" row elements.
