title: Xamarin Android EditText setError Not Displaying Text
body: <p>For some reason I am not able to display error message text in my EditText. I am using Xamarin.Android 4.16.0. I have a simple use case</p>
  
  <pre><code>private EditText _businessNameEdit;
  _businessNameEdit = _rootView.FindViewById&lt;EditText&gt; (Resource.Id.editTextBusinessName);
  
      //wire up save button handler
              if (_saveButton != null) {
                  _saveButton.Click += (sender, e) =&gt; {
                      validateFormInput();
  
  
  void validateFormInput ()
          {
              Drawable errorIcon = Resources.GetDrawable(Resource.Drawable.statuserror); 
  
              if (String.IsNullOrEmpty (_businessNameEdit.Text)) {
                  _businessNameEdit.Error = "Cannot be Empty";
                  _businessNameEdit.RequestFocus ();
                  //_businessNameEdit.SetCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, Resource.Drawable.statuserror, 0);
              }
          }               };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I do editText.Error = "Some message", the default Android error Icon will show with no message, like so and if I use SetCompoundDrawablesWithIntrisicBounds() it show my custom image with with not message.</p>
