How to Change the Floating Label Color of Textinputlayout

How to change the floating label color of TextInputLayout

Try The Below Code It Works In Normal State

 <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:theme="@style/TextLabel">

     <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:hint="Hiiiii"
         android:id="@+id/edit_id"/>

 </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

In Styles Folder TextLabel Code

 <style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
    <!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/Color Name</item> 
    <item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
    <!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/Color Name</item>
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/Color Name</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/Color Name</item>
 </style>

Set To Main Theme of App,It Works Only Highlight State Only

 <item name="colorAccent">@color/Color Name</item>

Update:

UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to color: type=0x2 in api 16 or below

Solution

Update:

Are you using Material Components Library

You can add below lines to your main theme

 <item name="colorPrimary">@color/your_color</item> // Activated State
 <item name="colorOnSurface">@color/your_color</item> // Normal State

or else do you want different colors in noraml state and activated state and with customization follow below code

<style name="Widget.App.TextInputLayout" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox">
    <item name="materialThemeOverlay">@style/ThemeOverlay.App.TextInputLayout</item>
    <item name="shapeAppearance">@style/ShapeAppearance.App.SmallComponent</item> //Changes the Shape Apperance
    <!--<item name="hintTextColor">?attr/colorOnSurface</item>-->   //When you added this line it will applies only one color in normal and activate state i.e colorOnSurface color
</style>

<style name="ThemeOverlay.App.TextInputLayout" parent="">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>  //Activated color
    <item name="colorOnSurface">@color/colorPrimary</item>    //Normal color
    <item name="colorError">@color/colorPrimary</item>        //Error color

    //Text Appearance styles
    <item name="textAppearanceSubtitle1">@style/TextAppearance.App.Subtitle1</item>
    <item name="textAppearanceCaption">@style/TextAppearance.App.Caption</item>

    <!--Note: When setting a materialThemeOverlay on a custom TextInputLayout style, don’t forget to set editTextStyle to either a @style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputEditText.* style or to a custom one that inherits from that.
    The TextInputLayout styles set materialThemeOverlay that overrides editTextStyle with the specific TextInputEditText style needed. Therefore, you don’t need to specify a style tag on the edit text.-->
    <item name="editTextStyle">@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputEditText.OutlinedBox</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.App.Subtitle1" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Subtitle1">
    <item name="fontFamily">@font/your_font</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/your_font</item>
</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.App.Caption" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Caption">
    <item name="fontFamily">@font/your_font</item>
    <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/your_font</item>
</style>

<style name="ShapeAppearance.App.SmallComponent" parent="ShapeAppearance.MaterialComponents.SmallComponent">
    <item name="cornerFamily">cut</item>
    <item name="cornerSize">4dp</item>
</style>

Add the below line to your main theme or else you can set style to textinputlayout in your xml

<item name="textInputStyle">@style/Widget.App.TextInputLayout</item>

How to change the floating label color of TextInputLayout and the cursor, without changing `colorAccent` in `AppTheme`

Create a custom style like this:

    <style name="myInputText">
     <item name="android:textColor">@color/myColor</item>
     <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_size</item>
     ...
     </style>

Now, you can directly use this in TextInputLayout, no need to provide any parent in style or change your app theme.

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:textColorHint="@color/myColor" 
    app:hintTextAppearance="@style/myInputText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp">

EDIT

This only changes the color of the floating label, not the cursor. To also change the cursor color, you need to create a drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <size android:height="10dp"
          android:width="2dp"/>
    <solid android:color="@color/myColor"/>
</shape>

and add it to the style you use for the TextInputEditText, not the TextInputLayout.

<style name="Settings.TextInputEditText">
    ...
    <item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@drawable/cursor</item>
</style>

How to change the TextInputEditText floating hint color when not focused

Add this code into your style.xml file ->

<style name="TextLabelDummy" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense">
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/black</item>  // Text Color
        <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/blue</item>    // Hint Color
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item>    //Floating label color
    </style>

You can change the parent attribute whatever you want. I've randomly used the "Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense"

Then call this as theme into you layout file

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/textInputLayoutNumberDummy"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="32dp"
            android:theme="@style/TextLabelDummy">

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                android:id="@+id/textInputEditTextNumberDummy"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/text_mobile" />

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

It worked fine on my side. Just check it and let me know about it. Thank you.
