I want to set the hint with java in EditText(which is in TextInputLayout).
Code used for setting hint:
aET = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.
I also had this issue.
when I needed to update the hint, I (erroneously) did that on both the EditText and the TextInputLayout, which resulted in a blur.
EditText
TextInputLayout
solution was to not call EditText.setHint() but only TextInputLayout.setHint()
EditText.setHint()
TextInputLayout.setHint()
