<style name="WhiteOutlineBox" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlineBox">
    <item name="boxStrokeColor">@color/snow </item>
    <item name="hintTextAppearance">@style/TextLabel</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/snow</item>

<!--  this style for the hint text lable in textInputLayout -->

There is a problem if one wants to change just one TextInputLayout programmatically, the problem is the property defaultStrokeColor is not accessible, the only way to change it is through overriding the colour mtrl_textinput_default_box_stroke_color or uses a state list colour but in both cases, you need the styles on XML.

In another hand, the property focusedStrokeColor is accessible through setBoxStrokeColor, so it is possible to change it programmatically without any special code.

A solution for it, if reflection is an option for you, of course, is to change the accessibility of the property in run-time, the following code does the job on material-1.1.0:

fun TextInputLayout.setDefaultStrokeColor(
    color: Int
) {
    try {
        val defaultStrokeColor = TextInputLayout::class.java.getDeclaredField("defaultStrokeColor")
        defaultStrokeColor.isAccessible = true
        defaultStrokeColor.set(this, color)
    } catch (e: NoSuchFieldException) {
        // failed to change the color
    }
}

uses it as an extension function:

yourView.setDefaultStrokeColor(yourColor)

You can use the boxStrokeColor attribute.It can work with a selector.

Use something like:

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        app:boxStrokeColor="@color/text_input_layout_stroke_color"
        ..>

or

<style name="WhiteOutlineBox" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlineBox">
    <item name="boxStrokeColor">@color/text_input_layout_stroke_color</item>
</style>

with:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:alpha="..." android:color="@color/...." android:state_focused="true"/>
  <item android:alpha="..." android:color="@color/...." android:state_hovered="true"/>
  <item android:alpha="..." android:color="@color/...." android:state_enabled="false"/>
  <item android:alpha="..." android:color="@color/...."/>  <!-- unfocused -->
</selector>

add this to your color.xml 

<color name="mtrl_textinput_default_box_stroke_color">#BDC3C7</color>

it overrides default unfocused outline color
