Solution 1:[1]

there are 3 ways to fixed

  1. customize your TextInputEditText class

  2. do one method inside you data class and set logic inside that method ex user class username contains html text so i will do one method like convert htmltoText method and do logic inside that method and return string

public class DataBindingAdapter {
    @BindingAdapter("convertHtmltoText")
    public static void convertHtmltoText(TextInputEditText view, String value) {

        string description = value.replace("\n", "<br/>") ?: ""
        view.setText(HtmlCompl?at.fromHtml(description, 
 HtmlCompat.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));

    }
}


<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
 android:id="@+id/tiemyComments"
 convertHtmltoText="@{myComments} />
