Edit text Password Toggle Android

(updated for AndroidX)

Since the Support Library v24.2.0. you can achivie this very easy

What you need to do is just:

1. Add the design library to your dependecies

    dependencies {
        implementation "com.google.android.material:material:1.2.1"
    }
   

2. Use TextInputEditText in conjunction with TextInputLayout

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/etPasswordLayout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">
   
        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/etPassword"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/password_hint"
            android:inputType="textPassword"/>
    </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
   

passwordToggleEnabled attribute will make the password toggle appear

3. In your root layout don’t forget to add xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

4. You can customize your password toggle by using:

app:passwordToggleDrawable – Drawable to use as the password input visibility toggle icon.
app:passwordToggleTint – Icon to use for the password input visibility toggle.
app:passwordToggleTintMode – Blending mode used to apply the background tint.
