TextInputLayout's errorview is not removed when removing error message

Question

I have a vertical linear layout with some input fields. Using TextInputLayout I get a nice flow with labels and built-in error messages. My problem is when I add and remove

As of Support library version 23.1.1 (and perhaps earlier), this should no longer be the case. You should be able to call TextInputLayout.setErrorEnabled(false) to hide the error TextView and calling TextInputLayout.setError(error) now internally calls TextInputLayout.setErrorEnabled(true) if the error isn't null or empty. See the code snippet below, taken from the support library:

public void setError(@Nullable CharSequence error) {
    if (!mErrorEnabled) {
        if (TextUtils.isEmpty(error)) {
            // If error isn't enabled, and the error is empty, just return
            return;
        }
        // Else, we'll assume that they want to enable the error functionality
        setErrorEnabled(true);
    }
    ...
}
