I have the following result in my EditText: (from left to right)
Android Emulator:(Respectively)
3.2QVGA API 15, Nexus S API 23
Nexus 5X API 23, Galaxy S7 API 24
Results in all 4 of devices are fine expect on my Nexus 4 where the result is the following:
NEXUS 4 API 22:
Here is my code:
XML:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/firstNameTextInput"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
<AutoCompleteTextView

style="@style/body_text_style"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/prompt_first_name"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:maxLines="1"
android:paddingEnd="@dimen/black_clear_button_square_length"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/black_clear_button_square_length"
tools:ignore="RtlSymmetry" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/firstNameClearButton"

android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"

android:layout_marginEnd="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="-32dp"
android:visibility="gone"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_clear_black_svg" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
styles.xml:
<style name="body_text_style" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1">
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/regular_black</item>
<item name="android:textSize">@dimen/body_text_view_size</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">sans-serif-light</item>
</style>
dimens.xml:
mdpi: <dimen name="body_text_view_size">13sp</dimen>
hdpi: <dimen name="body_text_view_size">13.5sp</dimen>
xhdpi: <dimen name="body_text_view_size">14sp</dimen>
xxhdpi: <dimen name="body_text_view_size">14.5sp</dimen>
xxxhdpi: <dimen name="body_text_view_size">15sp</dimen>
mdpi: <dimen name="black_clear_button_square_length">20dp</dimen>
hdpi: <dimen name="black_clear_button_square_length">21dp</dimen>
xhdpi: <dimen name="black_clear_button_square_length">22dp</dimen>
xxhdpi: <dimen name="black_clear_button_square_length">23dp</dimen>
xxxhdpi: <dimen name="black_clear_button_square_length">24dp</dimen>
Tries:
I even tried to hardcode a value of 100dp for end padding for my firstNameText
android:paddingEnd="100dp"
android:paddingRight="100dp"
All the devices (4 emulators) text was pushed even further to the left/start expect Nexus 4. It's almost like the device edittext is not reacting to these padding.


You can simply add drawableRight in your AutoCompleTextView, don't even need
ImageView. Here is the modified layout.
