To illustrate further the answer given by Prithviraj, TextInputLayout does not do the validation itself. It is just a mechanism to show the error or hint. You are responsible for setting/clearing the error. Here is how you can do that. Note that in addition to TextChangedListener, you may also need OnFocusChangeListener to set the error when user jumps to second edit text without doing any modification in the first field.

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        //.....

        edtPhone.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {

            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                validateEditText(s);
            }
        });

        edtPhone.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                if (!hasFocus) {
                    validateEditText(((EditText) v).getText());
                }
            }
        });
    }

    private void validateEditText(Editable s) {
        if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(s)) {
            layoutEdtPhone.setError(null);
        }
        else{
            layoutEdtPhone.setError(getString(R.string.ui_no_password_toast));
        }
    }
}
