AutoCompleteTextView setError

Question

Password field is AutoCompleteTextView and I'm trying to do setError when it's empty, but I don't want this red exclamation mark to show. How should I do this?

P.S. field on top of this, is also AutoCompleteTextView, (mailview) but when I do setError when it's empty, red exclamation mark doesn't show.

wow, thanks, one extra exclamation mark doesn't show anymore but is there any chance to disappear second too? — misha, Sep 07 '16 at 11:38
now I found out that after changing I've got exception about NavigationView is there any way out? — misha, Sep 07 '16 at 11:52

To do that, you need to use com.android.support....23.0.0.

as well as dont use setError so that extra exclamation will not appear instead use some other way to show error.

according to me, this is a bug on updating to com.android.support....24.0.0 in TextInputLayout as password and setError exclamation will be overrite.

you should use only one of them.

You have to call setError method like this:

setError("Error", null)
