TextInputLayout counter to the top

Question

The TextInputLayout introduces a nice counter function in the support-library version 23.1.0 - unfortunately with the floating-hint this gets very high in layout_height. Is there a way to bring the counter to the top ( on the same height as the floating-label? )

no - no information regarding to styling except color – Padre

Answer 1

Currently you can't do it.

The TextInputLayout follows the material guide line and the counter is on the bottom.
Checking the code you can only customize these specs:

• enable counter also available with xml attribute android.support.design:counterEnabled

• The counter max lenght also available with xml attribute app:counterMaxLength. (this attr is not currently in the official doc. You can check this post)
