Answer 1

Depending on need, one can change/set TextInputLayout text color dynamically or directly in the layout XML file. Below is sample code snippets

Create a custom style which uses @android:style/TextAppearance as parent in your styles.xml file:

And, use it in your TextInputLayout widget:

1. Directly in XML Layout

2. Dynamically in your class

your_input_layout.setErrorTextAppearance(R.style.style_error_appearance);

If you want to set single/same error text color for your application then define the text color in your app theme

And in your AndroidManifest.xml:
