I have a TextInputLayout which I want to have its height defined explicitly in DP.
When I tried that, the text was not aligned inside TextInputLayout vertically in center. This question already asked something like this but it did not receive enough attention and did not have updated answers yet and the suggested solution is not working fine.
As you might see it will be something like this:
Here is my layout XML:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="200dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/TextInputLayoutPassword"
style="@style/CustomInputLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_marginStart="32dp"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="32dp"
android:padding="5dp"
android:layout_below="@+id/textViewMainTitle"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:textAlignment="viewStart"
app:hintTextAppearance="@style/TextLabel"
android:textColorHint="@color/text_input_layout_stroke_color"
app:hintTextColor="@color/text_input_layout_hint_color"
android:hint="@string/userPassword"
app:endIconMode="clear_text"
app:boxStrokeWidth="2dp"
app:boxCornerRadiusBottomEnd="18dp"
app:boxCornerRadiusTopEnd="18dp"
app:boxCornerRadiusBottomStart="18dp"
app:boxCornerRadiusTopStart="18dp">
<!--this is the actual edit text which takes the input-->
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="@+id/textInputEditTextPassword"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:cursorVisible="false"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
</LinearLayout>
