Answer 1

Read Outline Box .

Outline text fields have a stroked border and are less emphasized. To use an outline text field, apply the following style to your TextInputLayout:

 style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

Dependencies

implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha1' 

XML

   <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
   android:id="@+id/name_text_input"
   style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   >

   <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
       android:id="@+id/name_edit_text"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:hint="@string/label_name" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

FYI

Legacy support ended in Android 28 . Now onward use

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0'

I am not sure about this but maybe the correct style name is "@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlineBox" instead of the above style replace OutlinedBox with OutlineBox. It may help me if you plz brief about this. – Prominence

UPDATE

Also working fine with

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'

Using implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha1' I'm getting below error

Cannot resolve symbol '@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlineBox'

Solution

Make below changes in your Build.Gradle

Use compileSdkVersion 28

Use targetSdkVersion 28

Use Below dependencies

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0-alpha3'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0-alpha3'

Will this negatively affect android api 27 and below phones that have the app installed? – Brei

@OrimDominic Will this negatively affect android api 27 No i have tested it in API 26 also – Isidore

Answer 3

With the migration to androidx libraries you have to use the new Material Components for android library.

Use the TextInputLayout component:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/hint_text">

  <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

And apply this style:

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

Requirements:

• you have to add this dependencies in your build.gradle file

  implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:<version>'

• apply a Material Components theme

  <style name="Theme.MyApp" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents">

But the color won't change when it is not focused – Valero

@AbrahamMathew Use the boxStrokeColor attribute. Use a selector like this. – Inconformity

Dont be careful 1)xml viewer not good visualization this 2) dont set hint for TextInputEditText 3)for normal view u click on edit text if not have text 4)parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.*" ofc 5)style add in TextInputLayout – Audrieaudris

Answer 4

You need to add this dependency to your "module level" build.gradle com.google.android.material to use latest material UI components.

Use this style in your com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout then,

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

Checkout from here

---

If you're using com.android.support:design library then you should change your app style to Theme.MaterialComponents...Bridge (I.e. like change style from Theme.AppCompat.Light to Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Bridge)

first,

Next, you have to use this style in your android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout:

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="300dp"
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@null"
        android:hint="First Name"/>
 </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Answer 6

If you are using appcompact library then you can go with this android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout

if you are using ANDROIDX build so I come to one conclusion who is having latest code according to android jetpack.

For using this you need to have this dependencies in your app gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
}

then this way you can add to your xml for the UI element

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:id="@+id/messageTextInputLayout"
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="10dp">

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/passwordTextInputEditText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Enter Text here" />

</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

                                                tint = Color.Blue,
                                                contentDescription = "Select Image"
                                            )
                                        }
