Define this somewhere:

inline fun ViewManager.textInputEditText() = textInputEditText {}
inline fun ViewManager.textInputEditText(theme: Int = 0, init: TextInputEditText.() -> Unit) = ankoView({ TextInputEditText(it) }, theme, init)

and you'll be able to write this:

textInputLayout {
    textInputEditText {
        ...
    }
 }

Now, with the new com.android.support:design:24.2.0 library, apps force close: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText

Any workaround to use before TextInputEditText is added in anko @yanex ?

@Rahulkr2 The principles of building DSL's in Kotlin well described in this article https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/type-safe-builders.html.
Reading it should help you understand how Anko DSL works.
