TextInputLayout Hint doesn't float up after updating Google Support Library

Question

I recently updated my support library to com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0 after which if I add a text to EditText via xml file the TextInputLayout hint doesn't float up.

I also had a look at this question but it didn't worked for me.

Here is my xml code:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.0"
        android:id="@+id/til1"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.33">

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="From"
            android:inputType="time"
            android:text="09:00 AM"
            android:id="@+id/from_mon"
            android:textSize="14sp" />
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout> 

Here is my gradle dependencies:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.0-beta4'
    compile 'uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.2.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:25.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:25.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'
    compile 'com.github.bhargavms:DotLoader:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'
    compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.1.0'
    compile 'com.labo.kaji:fragmentanimations:0.1.1'
    compile 'com.github.esafirm.android-image-picker:imagepicker:1.2.5'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

This is the problem

You can clearly see that the hint is floating up.

Please guide.

Answer 1

You must provide hint to the TextInputLayout and use TextInputEditText instead of EditText

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

    <android.support.v7.widget.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="09:00 AM" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Answer 2

After updating to version 25.1.0 of the v7 appcompat library, I faced many serious bugs in Toolbar, RecyclerView, etc.

I went back to version 25.0.1.

Answer 3

UPDATE: The issue was fixed in 25.3.1

It is a bug in 25.1.0 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=230171 It seems we have to use previous 25.0.1 version for now.

Answer 4

@Rahul Sharma,

Why you are using android:hint="From" and android:text="09:00 AM" in EditText tag of xml file?

Instead of that you can use only android:hint="From in xml file and In Java code u can set text in dynamically.

I hope u will get my point. Thanks.

Check your Do changes like this in you build.gradle for dependencies .. I think gradle is not a problem

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:24.1.1'

}

If not solve by changes of gradle change First check basic changes in you inpul layout .. it will defiantly do your text float.. after do your changes.

 <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                    android:id="@+id/til1"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
                    android:layout_margin="10dp">


    <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="From"
        android:inputType="time"
        android:text="09:00 AM"
        android:id="@+id/from_mon"
        android:textSize="14sp" />

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

NOTE: And if possible set your hint in to string file .. may that will also be the issue.
