android - How do I reduce the padding between the text hint and text line?

Question

I have a TextInputEditText with a hint shown. I really do not like the amount of space between the hint and text line. I have tried setting the gravity to bottom but no luck.

       <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                    android:layout_width="400dp"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:background="@android:color/white"
                    android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
                    android:hint="@string/email_hint"
                    android:textColorHint="@color/color_hint_grey"
                    android:fontFamily="@font/alternate_got_no1d"
                    android:textSize="20sp"/>

add this to your com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText:

                android:paddingStart="0dp"
                android:paddingLeft="0dp"
                android:paddingRight="0dp"
                android:paddingEnd="0dp"
