How to show border on TextInputLayout in Android without MaterialComponents.
I have an AppCompatActivity using AppTheme.DialogTheme to show the Activity as a Dialog, but this configuration does not support MaterialComponents. When I use:
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox
The App Builds successfully but generates a runtime error:
Error inflating class com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
This is the XML layout using the MaterialComponent:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/inputLayout"
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginHorizontal="20dp"
android:layout_marginVertical="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
app:helperTextEnabled="true"
app:helperTextTextColor="@color/red">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="@+id/newfolder"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter New Folder"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="text"
android:maxLength="32"
android:scrollIndicators="bottom"
android:scrollbars="horizontal"
android:scrollHorizontally="true" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
I found one way to add a border to the TextInputLayout without MaterialComponents.
I added a Shape to the Drawables.
switch_border.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent">
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="@color/black"/>
</shape>
Then added to the TextInputLayout:
android:background="@drawable/switch_border"
