When using TextInputLayout with height set to anything else that wrap_content the counter disappears, and i'd also like to use it with ConstraintLayout, with it's height set to 0dp, with that the counter disappears and there's this margin at the top. Can the height of TextInputLayout be set to 0dp with visible counter and without this margin at the top?

I see what the issue is, you might have to rethink the layout design. The issue is not the TextInputLayout, it is the TextInputEditText. When you set TextInputEditText to match parent, it is matching the height TextInputLayout, hence there is no space left in the TextInputLayout to draw the counter. so if you change that height value of the TextInputEditText to any other value, you will see the counter.
My suggestion is, you either need to rethink your designed layout, or you would have to programmatically set the height of the InputEditText, depending on the activity's window visible height.

I see, I could also use normalEditTextthere and make the counter myself from twoeditTexts. Which one would you recommend? Programmatically setting height like you mentioned or just making my own counter, or there's no big difference?

I will say try and set the height programmatically, with enough space to show the counter, if it proves to be difficult, then try your approach.
