Example

The TextInputEditText is an EditText with an extra fix to display a hint in the IME when in 'extract' mode.

The Extract mode is the mode that the keyboard editor switches to when you click on an EditText when the space is too small (for example landscape on a smartphone).
In this case, using an EditText while you are editing the text you can see that the IME doesn't give you a hint of what you're editing

The TextInputEditText fixes this issue providing hint text while the user’s device’s IME is in Extract mode.

Example:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="Description"
    >
    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
        android:id="@+id/description"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

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