This is my requirement.
I have tried all possible ways to achieve this scenario.
But I cant control focused and unfocused state.
Please guide me to solve this issues.

<style name="MyMaterialTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item> <item name="windowActionBar">false</item> <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item> <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item> <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/primary</item> <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/colorPrimary</item> </style>

i want to change the hint color,underline color in unfocused state programmatically.

colors.xml

<resources> <color name="primary">#1976d2</color> <color name="primary_dark">#E12929</color> <color name="primary_darker">#CC1D1D</color> <color name="accent">#000000</color> <color name="blue">#1976d2</color> <color name="black">#000000</color> <color name="lightblue">#1976d2</color> <color name="lightgray">#666666</color> </resources>

Something like you should try

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/usernameWrapper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/username"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    android:hint="Username"/>

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

Button btnLogin;
String hintEmail = "",hintPass="";


emailInput = (TextInputLayout) findViewById(R.id.emailInput);
passInput = (TextInputLayout) findViewById(R.id.passInput);

edtEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtEmail);
edtPass = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtPass);

btnLogin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);
btnLogin.setOnClickListener(this);


    btnLogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (edtEmail.getText().toString().trim().isEmpty()) {
                edtEmail.setHint("please enter Email Address ");
                hintEmail = "please enter Email Address ";
                edtEmail.setHintTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color.colorRed));
                emailInput.setHint("");

            }

            if (edtPass.getText().toString().trim().isEmpty()) {

    });
    edtPass.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {

Try something below like this,For make error to edittext useinputLayout.setError("Enther somehting");after validate your condition you have to remove using setErrorEnabled(false)

  inputLayout_et = (TextInputLayout) findViewById(R.id.input_layout_newpassword);

  inputLayout_et.setErrorEnabled(false);
