You have to remove this line

android:layout_marginStart="-5dp"

or

if you need that margin, please give in parentView -android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout

like

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="@dimen/textinput_container_height"
app:errorEnabled="true"
app:errorTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Small.ErrorStyle"
tools:hint="@string/ip_printers"
android:layout_marginStart="-5dp">

TextInputLayout is a LinearLayout, so you should be able to specify a negative margin or padding, e.g.

android:layout_marginLeft="-2dp"    
android:layout_marginStart="-2dp"
