[TextInputLayout] Error message not shown after calling setError

See original GitHub issue

Description: Even though error is enabled, TextInputLayout doesn’t display the error message after setting it. Only the outline (box) is affected.

I have to call requestLayout() on my TextInputLayout to make the error message show up. This shouldn’t be the case.

After calling requestLayout():

Expected behavior: Calling setError should make the error message show up

Source code: I simply set the error by calling setError.

layoutPassword.error = "error_field_required"`

Android API version: 28

Material Library version: 1.1.0-alpha08

Same happens with me. I use setError inside TextWatcher and no matter what I do the error never appears. The funny thing is the same logic is working in my Java project and not with Kotlin project. Also if I press the password toggle button it shows the error but not when I call setError. Please fix this issue on priority it beed more than 3 months since this issue is reported.
