Convert simple edittext n cool looking material edittext

 Simple edittext looks boring because everyone uses them but a material edittext with good looking design is always appreciated by users.  But creaing a material edittext in sketchware take too much time in coding it. 


So today in this post i'll share a hidden feature of sketchware pro where you can create material edittext just from simple edittext.
so let's start this post


VIew Area
In vie area you have to add a textinputlayout as shown in picture. 




Inside this text input layout add a edittext, use a normal edittext as it can give errors with others. see demo picture below 





All thes two things were you have to add in sketchware


Event area

There is no special need of using any code in this area you can customise it as you do with edittext




Library
Click on 3 dots in toolbar then click on library.

A new window will open. click on appcompact from the available options.



Then if the switch is off then turn it on.




come back to project and run it, you'll see a best in class edittext which is made by using no codes.




Note: I recommend to use this method after you have completed your project because it'll increase compiling time of your project.
