How to set max lenght message on edittext on android

Question

waht I am trying to do is set a massage o max characters on an edittext. So far I have find out the TextInputLayout, but it is no quite what I need. The edittext is a big field, so I am trying to set a message at the bottom right corner of the edittex that says "max input 120" but inside the edittext, not on the outside. This is what I have so far

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/til_title"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="350dp"
        app:counterEnabled="true"
        app:counterMaxLength="120"
        >
    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/edtComnent"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="300dp"
            android:hint="write your comments here"
            android:textSize="@dimen/font_size_2"
            android:gravity="top"
            android:padding="15dp"
            android:maxLength="120"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

But like I said, it does no quite match my needs. Any help or suggestion would be great, thanks

Try this

<RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/til_title"
        android:layout_width="264dp"
        android:layout_height="136dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        app:counterEnabled="true"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/btnCancelComment"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/tvTitle"
        tools:ignore="MissingConstraints">

    <EditText
            android:id="@+id/edtComment"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:hint="Escriba sus comentarios aquí. "
            android:gravity="top"
            android:textSize="@dimen/font_size_2"
            android:layout_height="120dp"
            android:maxLength="121"
            android:background="@drawable/rounded_gray_background"/>

    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tv"
            android:layout_below="@id/edtComment"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:gravity="end"
            android:paddingEnd="10dp"
            android:textStyle="normal|italic"
            android:textSize="@dimen/font_size_2"
            android:text="Máx 120 carácteres"
            android:background="@drawable/rounded_gray_background"/>


</RelativeLayout>
