Keep startIcon at top left position when using multi-line textview-CodePudding

I've got the following layout:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="@string/vehicle_type"
    android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/layout_margin_default"
    app:startIconDrawable="@drawable/baseline_notes_24">
    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

which looks like this:

My goal is that the startIcon should remain at the top position:

Is that possible? I've looked into the options, which can be used for the TextInputLayout, however there doesn't seem any "gravity" option for the startIcon.

CodePudding user response：

I don't think that will be possible. Other than sub-classing the view and doing something there (haven't looked or tried), I think the best you can do is to overlay the view with another view that holds the drawable and is positioned to the top/left.
