@amiyo-biswas it doesn't work, I had already followed it

Looking at the source code, the layout adds additional top margin if hintEnabled is true, else it completely ignores adding any top margin.

Don't know why they coded it like that, the top edge of the view is still there regardless if the hint is enabled or not. If that method (and the methods that call that method) weren't private, it'd be a simple fix to just ignore checking if hintEnabled is true or not, but those methods being private complicates things for us end-users.

In my case, if set hint for TextInputEditText programmatically then floating label not showing.

Also error text looses its top margin in this scenario

You saved my life! 4 years+, still wonder why Android development has to be this hard!

if you have used app:hintEnabled="false" then also set android:paddingTop="8dp" in EditText and boom top hint space is gone, this worked for me hope this works for you too
