Solution 1:

Use TextInputLayout for material EditText like :

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/input_application_name"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
            android:minHeight="50dp"
            android:theme="@style/MyTextInputLayout"
            app:hintTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.App.TextInputLayout">

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/application_name"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/hint_application_name"
                android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                android:inputType="text" />

        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

and in your Activity

TextInputLayout til = (TextInputLayout) findViewById(R.id.input_application_name);
EditText applicationNameEdt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.application_name);
til.setErrorEnabled(true);
til.setError("You need to enter a name");
