[com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout] text language is not updated after locale update and activity recreate

[jannepanda]

Description:
The android:hint/app:helperText text language in TextInputLayout is not updated after activity is recreated with new locale.
This issue has been present since 1.3.0-alpha03. 1.3.0-alpha02 was the last release in which it worked to my knowledge.

Expected behavior:
Expected texts language to be updated with new set locale, like it does for other components, for example: MaterialButton.

Source code:
Please find a small sample project attached which shows the behavior
MaterialLocaleChangeTest.zip

. Switch between com.google.android.material:material 1.3.0 and 1.3.0-alpha02 to see the difference.

Android API version: Android API version here
API 23, API 29

Material Library version:
1.3.0

Device:
Tested on emulator and custom tablets

To help us triage faster, please check to make sure you are using the latest version of the library.

We also happily accept pull requests.

I got the same.
I suppose the problem is in this commit: 076ff69
The SavedState is saving the current text values, then when the device language is changed (and the app is in the recent list and re-opened or recreate() is called) those values are restored as they were before the configuration change

I can't confirm this is true because I did not tested it yet, I will as soon as I can.
If this is the case I can work on this
