Material 1.6.1 endIconTint ignored

After updating com.google.android.material:material:1.5.0 to com.google.android.material:material:1.6.1,

usages of endIconTint (specifically, in a style, applied to a TextInput, but likely for other inputs as well) are now summarily ignored.

Setting endIconTint to any color no longer has any effect. Instead, the end icon appears to automatically tint itself to match the color of the text and to completely disregard endIconTint.

Anyone else experiencing? Any known workaround?

yeah I totally agree we can probably have better API naming here.

I’ll raise this to our team for our future reference. Thanks for providing these valuable thoughts!!

Thanks again. I think it would be useful for the Android docs (not javadoc) to reflect the difference between endIcon and errorIcon. I find it a bit bewildering that setting endIconTint fails if the field is in error. Even in an error state, the endIcon is still an endIcon, isn’t it? Feels like the attribute should have been called endIconValidTint to clue the user in that setting the tint this way only works in the absence of an error. Similarly, it seems errorIconTint should have been called something like endIconErrorTint, so that it doesn’t seem like you’re dealing with a whole different object other than endIcon when there’s an error.
