@azizbekian i want that error layout left side of the screen below the red circle with RTL language. its working fine with LTR language. — Prashant Jajal, Feb 02 '18 at 05:13
@buzzingsilently Thank you.. I already go to through that solution but as per design of the screen its not helpful for me. so please give some other suggestion for old method for setting error in edit text. :) — Prashant Jajal, Feb 02 '18 at 05:15

You can do something like this.

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/text_input_layout"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">

                <EditText
                    android:id="@+id/edittext"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:singleLine="true" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

and for set error:

text_input_layout.setError("Error");
