I want to know which ui view is used in Linkedin android application on login screen when you type in your username and password, the one where when you type, editText hint goes up as text view?
First add dependencies
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
}
Then you can use TextInputLayout from design library
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/input_layout_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:hint="#string/hint_name" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Its called TextInputLayout.
Structure goes like this
<TextInputLayout>
<Edittext/>
</TextInputLayout>
Refer here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/design/widget/TextInputLayout.html

The output should look like following image:
more simple way use TextInputLayout
compile design library to your dependecies
compile "com.android.support:design:26.0.+"
TextInputLayout
Layout which wraps an EditText (or descendant) to show a floating label when the hint is hidden due to the user inputting text.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter EMail Address"
android:inputType="textPassword"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Recently google introduced new Android Design Library in that how to use TextInputLayout field to enable the Floating Hint feature of EditText.
Not much guidance is available here.
This page says
you can now wrap it in a TextInputLayout
But No idea because smart prediction (Ctrl+SPACE) doesn't predicts any attributes to the TextInputLayout. So my questions are:
How do we get hold of the EditText underlying this component?
How can we get data from EditText?
TextInputLayout extends ViewGroup class.
So which means that you have to wrap your EditText in a TextInputLayout.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="hint"
android:id="#+id/editText1" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Do wrap the TextInputLayout around TextInputEditText instead of EditText.
Wrapping around EditText does have issue in landscape mode. Refer to
this article for more details.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="hint"
android:id="#+id/editText1" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
This is defined in design support library under "Floating labels for editing text".
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/name_et_textinputlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/FeedBackerNameET"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="hinttext"
android:inputType="textPersonName|textCapWords" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
To make this works well, you should let you app theme extends from Theme.AppCompat (or its descendant) theme, like extends from Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/til_message"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_message"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/type_message"
android:maxLines="5"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
hint will automatically shift up once you start typing in the edit text and to have those errors which appear below edit text set error on text input layout like this not on edit text
tilMessage.setError("Message field is empty!");
to disable error
tilMessage.setErrorEnabled(false);
The correct way...
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/card_id_edit_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/form_card_id_text"
android:inputType="number"
android:maxLength="10"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
If you use EditText like a child of TextInputLayout, you will see this message in Android Monitor:
I/TextInputLayout: EditText added is not a TextInputEditText. Please switch to using that class instead.
With the Material Components Library there is a new TextInputLayout component.
Just use:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/hint_text">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
In the official doc you can find all the info.
We can use AppCompactEditText also for this need to add support:appcompat in gradle
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="20dp">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/et_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/hint"
android:maxLength="100"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:textSize="#dimen/font_size_large" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Rule of Thumb : TextInputLayout should wrap TextInputEditText instead of the normal EditText.
Reason?
TextInputEditText is a sub-class of EditText and is designed for use as a child of TextInputLayout.
Furthermore, using an EditText instead would shoot us a warning : EditText added is not a TextInputEditText. Please switch to using that class instead.
I am using recently released Android Design Support Library to show floating label with EditTexts. But i am facing the problem that the Hint on the EditText is not showing when UI is rendered, but i see the Hint after i focus on the EditTexts.
My Layout is as follows:
<?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">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/ScrollView01"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:scrollbars="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"

android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/name_et_textinputlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/FeedBackerNameET"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</FrameLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp"
android:background="#drawable/toolbar_shadow" />
</FrameLayout>
I have also tried to set hint for the TextInputLayout using method setHint but no luck.
mNameTextInputLayout = (TextInputLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.name_et_textinputlayout);
mNameTextInputLayout.setErrorEnabled(true);
mNameTextInputLayout.setHint(feedBackerNameET.getHint());
mEmailTextInputLayout = (TextInputLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.email_textinputlayout);
mEmailTextInputLayout.setErrorEnabled(true);
mEmailTextInputLayout.setHint(feedBackerEmail.getHint());
mBodyTextInputLayout = (TextInputLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.body_textinputlayout);
mBodyTextInputLayout.setErrorEnabled(true);
mBodyTextInputLayout.setHint(feedBackBody.getHint());
Update:
This is a bug that has been fixed in version 22.2.1 of the library.
Original Answer:
As mentioned by #shkschneider, this is a known bug. Github user #ljubisa987 recently posted a Gist for a workaround:
https://gist.github.com/ljubisa987/e33cd5597da07172c55d
As noted in the comments, the workaround only works on Android Lollipop and older. It does not work on the Android M Preview.
That is a known bug of the Android Design library. It has been accepted and assigned.
So you should have this fixed in the next Android Design library release.
In the meantime, you could watch the issue tracker for a hacky-fix that might get posted there, but I don't know any as of now.
And yes, it only affect Lollipop and above.
This works for me in Design Library 23.1.1:
Set the hint color in xml attributes of TextInputLayout:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
....
android:layout_margin="15dp"
android:textColorHint="#color/hintColor"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
...
This issue is fixed in version 22.2.1
you should use android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText as EditText and set android:hint like below
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/etx_first_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
android:hint="#string/hint_first_name"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_margin="15dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:singleLine="true"
android:hint="Add City" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Use this code snippet.Make sure your activity is AppCompatActivity.
And dependency are also with latest versions
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
Update the android studio to latest version.
see output here
If you are setting your EditText hint programmatically it wouldn't work!
You need to set the hint on the TextInputLayout it self.
TextInputLayout textInputLayout = (TextInputLayout) findViewById(R.id.usernameTextInputLayout);
textInputLayout.setHint(getString(R.string.username_hint));
Here is the XML in case you are wondering:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/usernameTextInputLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/usernameEt"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/default_height"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/default_margin"
android:layout_marginStart="#dimen/default_margin"
android:maxLength="#integer/username"
tools:hint="Username" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
This issue is resolved in v23.0.1 of support design library. I also updated my appcompat-v7 to 23.0.1, compileSdkVersion to 23 & buildToolsVersion to 23.0.1 in build.gradle.
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
}
I solved my problem with this code:
new Handler().postDelayed(
new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
TextInputLayout til = (TextInputLayout) someParentView.findViewById(R.id.til);
til.setHint("Your Hint Text");
til.bringToFront();
}
}, 10);
The key here is the bringToFront. It forces the TextInputLayout to redo its drawing, which is not the same as doing invalidate(). If you are trying to display the TextInputLayout on a view that has animations or tranistions, you need to execute the above code at the end of the animation or transition. Just make sure that the code above runs on the UI thread.
Set hint color that contrast to the EditText background.
<item name="android:textColorHint">#FF424242</item>

Looks like this issue appears when you set onFousListener on EditText - try to extend EditText and support multiple onFocusListeners
Problem solved:
Goto build.gradle of ur app and check design library.
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.1'
It should be 22.2.1 or newer.
Problem is the hint color. It becomes white when typing something. Please change the hint color or change the background color. You will see the hint while typing.
There is a simple solution to this as this worked for me
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/activity_login_til_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="27dp"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:padding="10dp"
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true"
app:passwordToggleTint="#000000"
app:passwordToggleDrawable="#drawable/passwordviewtoggleselector"
android:theme="#style/Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!---- add this line and theme as you need ----->
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/activity_login_et_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="58dp"
android:hint="Password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#f5ab3a"
android:textColorHint="#e6d2d1cf"
android:textSize="20dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Just add android:theme="#style/Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat" to the TextEditLayout and it should work and you can change the theme as you need.
Just add: android:hint="your_hint" for TextInputLayout.
I found something different.
When setting the style for the fragment,
f1.setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_FRAME,android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Light);
The bug was gone when I tried different Styles than "Theme_DeviceDefault_Dialog".
Give it a try.
if you have set your layout background white please use it in your Activity Theme
parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar"
In my android app, I have a hint text in my EditText view. Once the user starts typing, I want the hint to be displayed on top of the edittext field. The original hint text disappears when user starts typing which is fine. How do I place a text on top of the edittext field ? Is there a way to make the EditText field multiline and use the first line for hint? But the user input should always start from the second line.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Just found that they are called floating inline labels in android.
http://www.google.com/design/spec/components/text-fields.html#text-fields-floating-labels
But looks like API 21 doesnt support this yet.
There new widget provide by android called TextInputLayout it is the standard way. Below is an example of it:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/first_text_input_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/first_edit_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="hello"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
You can use FloatLabelLayout. It's a custom component that works as described in the google documentation.
Once you create the custom component you can use it in this way:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<your.package.FloatLabelLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:floatLabelTextAppearance="#style/TextAppearance.YourApp.FloatLabel">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_username"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/account_username_hint"
android:singleLine="true"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:nextFocusDown="#+id/edit_password" />
</your.package.FloatLabelLayout>
<your.package.FloatLabelLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:floatLabelTextAppearance="#style/TextAppearance.YourApp.FloatLabel">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/account_password_hint"
android:singleLine="true"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:imeOptions="actionDone" />
</your.package.FloatLabelLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Does API 21 provide a method to use the following feature:

I'm trying to float the EditText hints.
Thanks!
Floating hint EditText:
Add below dependency in gradle:
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
In layout:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/text_input_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="UserName"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Yes, as of May 29, 2015 this functionality is now provided in the Android Design Support Library
This library includes support for
Floating labels
Floating action button
Snackbar
Navigation drawer
and more
The Android support library can be imported within gradle in the dependencies :
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
It should be included within GradlePlease! And as an example to use it:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/to_text_input_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/autoCompleteTextViewTo"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="To"
android:layout_marginTop="45dp"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Btw, the editor may not understand that AutoCompleteTextView is allowed within TextInputLayout.
Android hasn't provided a native method. Nor the AppCompat.
Try this library: https://github.com/rengwuxian/MaterialEditText
This might be what you want.
Import the Support Libraries, In your project's build.gradle file, add the following lines in the project's dependencies:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
}
Use following TextInputLayout in your UI Layout:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/usernameWrapper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/username"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:hint="Username"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Than, call setHint on TextInputLayout just after setContentView call because, to animate the floating label, you just need to set a hint, using the setHint method.
final TextInputLayout usernameWrapper = (TextInputLayout) findViewById(R.id.usernameWrapper);
usernameWrapper.setHint("Username");
You need to add the following to your module build.gradle file:
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
And use com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout in your XML:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/text_input_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/my_hint">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="UserName"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
#andruboy's suggestion of https://gist.github.com/chrisbanes/11247418 is probably your best bet.
https://github.com/thebnich/FloatingHintEditText kind of works with appcompat-v7 v21.0.0, but since v21.0.0 does not support accent colors with subclasses of EditText, the underline of the FloatingHintEditText will be the default solid black or white. Also the padding is not optimized for the Material style EditText, so you may need to adjust it.
No it doesn't. I would expect this in a future api release, but for now we are stuck with EditText. Another option is this library:
https://github.com/marvinlabs/android-floatinglabel-widgets
For an easier way to use the InputTextLayout, I have created this library that cuts your XML code to less than the half, and also provides you with the ability to set an error message as well as a hint message and an easy way to do your validations.
https://github.com/TeleClinic/SmartEditText
Simply add
compile 'com.github.TeleClinic:SmartEditText:0.1.0'
Then you can do something like this:
<com.teleclinic.kabdo.smartmaterialedittext.CustomViews.SmartEditText
android:id="#+id/emailSmartEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:setLabel="Email"
app:setMandatoryErrorMsg="Mandatory field"
app:setRegexErrorMsg="Wrong email format"
app:setRegexType="EMAIL_VALIDATION" />
<com.teleclinic.kabdo.smartmaterialedittext.CustomViews.SmartEditText
android:id="#+id/passwordSmartEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:setLabel="Password"
app:setMandatoryErrorMsg="Mandatory field"
app:setPasswordField="true"
app:setRegexErrorMsg="Weak password"
app:setRegexType="MEDIUM_PASSWORD_VALIDATION" />
<com.teleclinic.kabdo.smartmaterialedittext.CustomViews.SmartEditText
android:id="#+id/ageSmartEditText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:setLabel="Age"
app:setMandatory="false"
app:setRegexErrorMsg="Is that really your age :D?"
app:setRegexString=".*\\d.*" />
Use the TextInputLayout provided by the Material Components Library:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Label">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
