[TextInputEditText] Several issues with typefaces in TextInputEditText (e.g.,Typeface is not applied with textPassword inputType)

[StephaneBg]

Description: Typeface is not applied with textPassword inputType.

Expected behavior: When android:inputType="text|textPassword|textNoSuggestions" (incorrect behaviour)

When android:inputType="text|textNoSuggestions" (expected behaviour)

Source code:

        <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/passwordInputAlphanumeric"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="@dimen/margin_padding_size_medium"
            android:theme="@style/Widget.App.TextInputLayout"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            >

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                android:id="@+id/passwordAlphanumeric"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/login_hint_password"
                android:imeOptions="actionDone"
                android:inputType="text|textPassword|textNoSuggestions"
                android:maxLines="1"
                tools:ignore="Autofill,LabelFor"
                tools:text="11223344"
                />
        </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Jesus christ this library is a steaming pile of shit. Nothing is working.

[akhbulatov]

The same bug. Any news when this will be fixed?

Seems like the fontFamily of the inner TextInputEditText is also applied to the hint, even when the outer TextInputLayout sets it to something else using hintTextAppearance.

[vincent-paing]

If you write a custom typeface override to reuse all over the project programatically, it doesn't render correctly

class FontOverrideEditText @JvmOverloads constructor(
  context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0
) : TextInputEditText(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {

  init {
    typeface = ResourcesCompat.getFont(context, R.font.your_font)
  }

}

Is an issue on (current latest) 1.3.0-alpha01 still.

At this time, we can't use TextInputLayout because of the issue pointed out in #586 specifically. Use requires a series of focus, error, and text change listeners to determine the appearance of the TextInputLayout hint text.

[VysotskiVadim]

Looks like hintTextAppearance doesn't work because it's always overridden by the inner edit text text style. Is it expected behavior, or it's something that will be fixed?

[OlehHaidaienko]

A temporary workaround can be setting hint text appearance after the view layout textInputFieldView.doOnLayout { textInputFieldView.setHintTextAppearance(R.style.TextInputFieldHintTextAppearance) }

Seeing the same problem would be great to see this fixed.

The bug still exists in 1.4.0-alpha02. ~1.5 years since the first report. Sometimes this library seems like it's been abandoned by its creators. 🙁

@leticiarossi and @ymarian you seem to be quite active on this component. Any news about this bug? 🙂

[mykola-dev]

the app compat widgets the material components widgets should we wait for 3rd iteration of UI elements library which finally would work?

[sstanislavsky]

textAllCaps for hint does not work still Any suggestions?

[vaidadry]

Typeface is not applied with textPassword inputType -> still appears on 1.5.0

[ipekbirinci]

I have similar problem even now. I want to make hint's font poppins and edittext's poppins_semibold but two of them became poppins_semibold.
