I was working on a design that requires all views has an alignment to left.

I'm using TextInputLayout && TextInputEditText there was spaces for hint & text that are solved by setting padding to 0dp for TextInputEditText but, I'm stuck in removing padding/margin start for the bottom line of TextInputEditText.

so, can anyone help me with that simple issues, please?

actual, what I need to do is remove the space at the start of TextInputEditText so bottom line be aligned to left like E

this is my XML

            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingTop="@dimen/_5sdp"
            android:paddingBottom="@dimen/_5sdp"
            app:endIconDrawable="@mipmap/clear_email"
            app:endIconMode="clear_text"
            app:endIconTint="@color/grey"
            app:errorEnabled="true"

after long of search and debugging, I found that the issue in these two lines

 <item name="android:paddingEnd">0dp</item>
 <item name="android:paddingStart">0dp</item>

after deleting them it's solved.

it looks like that there is a default value for it, but I don't know how much are they but, that solved my issue.

if anyone knows the default values please leave a comment.
