Post the full stack trace, and your code for your layout/edit_texts — Gabe Sechan, Dec 05 '22 at 06:40
So the problem is that it's trying to get the weight of a font that doesn't exist. Are you setting a font in your styles? If so, you're doing something wrong there. — Gabe Sechan, Dec 05 '22 at 07:05
@GabeSechan if its related to font, it should affect all the device, right?. Issue occurring only in samsung device with android 13 OS, others working fine. — SHIJO CS, Dec 05 '22 at 08:37
If you're relying on a font that doesn't exist on the device it could be device related. — Gabe Sechan, Dec 05 '22 at 14:48

There's probably an issue in implementation of TextInputLayout, as it can call: (TextInputLayout.java:1426)

 collapsingTextHelper.setTypefaces(this.editText.getTypeface());

with null typeface.

It happened when turning on the Bold text in Android 13: Settings -> Display size & text -> Bold text

In my case the issue was in the style of com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText.

So try to remove and fix the style of MaEditText in your case.
