I am facing issue in this can somebody help me? This is my code:

<RelativeLayout
                                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                >
        
                                <LinearLayout
                                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                    android:layout_alignStart="@+id/error_mobile_no"
                                    android:layout_alignTop="@+id/error_mobile_no"
                                    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/error_mobile_no"
                                    android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
                                    android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
                                    android:gravity="center"
                                    android:orientation="horizontal">
        
                                    <TextView
                                        android:id="@+id/country_code_textview"
                                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                        android:fontFamily="@font/lorin_regular"
                                        android:text="+971"
                                        android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"
                                        android:textColor="@color/black"
                                        android:textSize="14sp" />

                                <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                                    android:id="@+id/error_mobile_no"
                                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                    android:layout_marginEnd="20dp"
                                    android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
                                    app:errorEnabled="true">
        
                                    <EditText
                                        android:id="@+id/etPhoneNumberDetailedActivity"
                                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                        android:layout_gravity="start"
                                        android:autofillHints=""
                                        android:paddingStart="35dp"
                                        android:backgroundTint="#6283a3"
                                        android:fontFamily="@font/lorin_regular"
                                        android:hint="@string/mobile_number"
                                        android:inputType="phone"
                                        android:textColor="@color/black"
                                        android:textColorHint="#6283a3" android:textSize="14sp" />
                                </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
                            </RelativeLayout>

This is an image of the field before entering text.

This is the image after entering text.

But I am trying to get it to look like this.

Answer by @GabrieleMariotti would definitely help, just change the theme as you want and set [PhoneNumberFormattingTextWatcher()](https://stackoverflow.com/a/4674114/8244632) for the formatting. — Lalit Fauzdar, Aug 11 '20 at 18:53

You can use the app:prefixText to display the prefix:

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:hint="mobile_number"
        app:prefixText="+971"
        ...>

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:autofillHints=""
            android:inputType="phone"
            .../>

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