Disable/Remove floating label hint text in TextInputLayout XML

Question

This may seem counter-intuitive but is there a way to disable or remove the floating label hint in TextInputLayout? The reason I want to use TextInputLayout

Answer 1

if you have used app:hintEnabled="false" then also set android:paddingTop="8dp" in EditText and boom top hint space is gone, this worked for me hope this works for you too
