Removing TextInputLayout extra top padding

Question

TextInputLayout seems to always have some extra padding at the top (no matter that all margins/paddings are set to 0):

The layout looks like:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
            android:id="@+id/txt_amount"
            style="@style/EditTextStyle"
            android:hint="@string/hint_amount"
            android:inputType="numberDecimal"/>
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

How to remove this extra space?

Answer 1

You can remove extra space above AppCompatEditText by setting app:hintEnabled="false" to TextInputLayout but it won't display hint until you re-enable that.

For more info goto Android Developer site -TextInputLayout

Checkout below code

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:hintEnabled="false">

    <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
        android:id="@+id/txt_amount"
        style="@style/EditTextStyle"
        android:hint="@string/hint_amount"
        android:inputType="numberDecimal"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Hope this helpfull..

You can use this

  <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textColorHint="@android:color/white">

            <com.bugle.customviews.RobotoLightEditText

                android:id="@+id/edtName"
                style="@style/StyledTilEditText"
                android:hint="@string/name"
                android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                android:inputType="textCapWords" />

        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
