The endIconDrawable, as shown in other posts on StackOverflow, can be overwritten through the usage of app:endIconDrawable attribute on a Material2 AutoCompleteTextView xml view element.
My inquiry is if it is possible to prevent the default behavior of an exposeddropdownmenu using autocompletetextview where the endIcon changes between state_checked true and false states, because there is a brief flicker when the icon sees a state change when interacting with the textview. I have one icon drawable that I want to be the same for both state_checked true and false, and while I do have this now and functioning, the flicker between the same icon asset, if I can prevent that, would be much cleaner and nicer looking.
How can I go about achieving this?
