Material-components-android: [TextInputLayout] "clear_text" end icon is visible for all fields when screen starts

[dorozhans]

Description: When screen starts and EditTexts have predefined text then "clear_text" icons visible for every field.

Expected behavior: When screen starts and EditTexts have predefined text then "clear_text" icons should not be visible at all. They should be visible only for the currently focused field.

This is still an issue in version 1.3.0-alpha03.
I'm using databinding and the text content gets automatically added to the TextInputEditText. All my fields with text content on startup show the CLEAR_TEXT endIcon (the same as in the gif above), while the rest that are null or empty work as expected.

I found a workaround through BindingAdapters where every time I set a new text value to my EditText I immediately disappear the icon but this is suboptimal.

    @JvmStatic
    @BindingAdapter("app:bindTextToHideIcon")
    fun TextInputEditText.setTextAndHideEndIconAgain(text:String){
        this.setText(text)
        (this.parent.parent as TextInputLayout).isEndIconVisible = false
    }

yes, It should be solved. I also experience same thing.
