Android Material TextInputLayout endIcon cuts off text in MaterialAutoCompleteTextView-CodePudding

I have some very short text input (like only 2 numeric characters) yet using the endIcon will hog half of my textview and will cut off and display ellipses. I cannot make the TextInputLayout wider so I how can I display the full 2 characters (or more) while using endIconDrawable?

          <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense.ExposedDropdownMenu"
                android:layout_width="80dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
                android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
                android:layout_height="40dp"
                android:background="@drawable/text_input_assessment"
                app:boxStrokeWidth="0dp"
                app:boxStrokeWidthFocused="0dp"
                app:endIconDrawable="@drawable/ptx_down_arrow_android"
                app:endIconTint="@color/colorPtxDarkBlue">

                <com.google.android.material.textfield.MaterialAutoCompleteTextView
                    android:id="@ id/dropdownDay"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:background="@null"
                    android:fontFamily="@font/truenorg"
                    android:textSize="15sp"
                    app:autoSizeTextType="uniform"
                    app:autoSizeMinTextSize="10sp"
                    app:autoSizeMaxTextSize="15sp"
                    app:autoSizeStepGranularity="1sp"
                    android:inputType="none"
                    android:maxLines="1"
                    android:paddingTop="10dp"
                    android:paddingBottom="10dp"
                    android:singleLine="true"
                    android:text="12"
                    android:textAlignment="viewStart"
                    android:textColor="@color/colorPtxDarkBlue"
                    tools:ignore="LabelFor" />

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

It is a workaround, not a final solution.

You can reduce the padding between the text and endIcon by adding a negative value in android:drawablePadding.
Something like:

   <com.google.android.material.textfield.MaterialAutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@ id/dropdownDay"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingTop="8dp"
        android:paddingBottom="8dp"
        android:drawablePadding="-12dp"
        ../>

A final note. You don't need to use android:background="@drawable/text_input_assessment" to have rounded corners. Just add app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.Rounded" in the TextInputLayout with:

  <style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.Rounded" parent="">
    <item name="cornerSize">50%</item>
  </style

CodePudding user response：

You've defined a style for it already

style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense.ExposedDropdownMenu"

So, the above line will add the dropdown icon automatically. I think you'll need to remove this line

app:endIconDrawable="@drawable/ptx_down_arrow_android"

Maybe the above line is overlapping the default icon

Then if you want to set tint to the drawable, just create a custom style

<style name="CustomAutoCompleteLayout" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense.ExposedDropdownMenu">
    <item name="endIconTint">@color/colorPtxDarkBlue</item>
</style>

And you add this two lines if you like

style="@style/CustomAutoCompleteLayout"

android:theme="@style/CustomAutoCompleteLayout"

Also i suggest that you remove this line and add it to the com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout instead.

android:paddingTop="10dp"               
android:paddingBottom="10dp
