Material Component- Text Fields

How to Make different Material Edit Text in Android..??

Both types of text fields use a container to provide a clear affordance for interaction, making the fields discoverable in layouts.

Types

Text fields come in two forms: filled and outlined.

Text fields come in two types:

• Filled text fields
• Outlined text fields

Basic usage 🏁

A MaterialTextField can be included in your layout like:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id=”@+id/textField”
android:layout_width=”match_parent”
android:layout_height=”wrap_content”
android:hint=”@string/label”>

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

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

Text Field Containers

Fill and stroke

A text field container has a fill and a stroke (either around the entire container, or just the bottom edge). The color and thickness of a stroke can change to indicate when the text field is active.

Rounded corners

The container of an outlined text field has rounded corners, while the container of a filled text field has rounded top corners and square bottom corners.
