I have some trouble with a TextInputEditText and his hint message if I use the last material library version com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha02 .. I set 5 lines scrollable textInputEditText and I want to show the hint message align to top margin of that text input. On layout editor appears in the correct position, but when I run the app the position is vertical centered. Why ?
Instead i'm not encounter this problem with com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0-beta02
This is my layout:
