Android TextInputEditText/TextInputLayout cuts off error message

Question

When setting a long error message on a TextInputEditText, it cuts it in two lines, but only one line is displayed:

Any way to solve this? I'm ok with two or multi lines, but they should be displayed properly.

Can you share the code .. i would like to try it out. – Darth Vader May 18 '20 at 12:05 — Darth Vader, May 18 '20 at 12:05

Well it turns out the problem was the styling... If you do something like:

<style name="V2NormalInput" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
....
</style>

And apply that to a TextInputEditText it'll clip the error message...

So the solution was simply to remove the parent:

<style name="V2NormalInput">
....
</style>

Now it works.

Hey @breakline removing parent doesn't affect the layout? – Darth Vader May 18 '20 at 12:15
Seems okay to me at the moment – breakline May 18 '20 at 17:20
