[MaterialTextInputPicker] Mobile date input picker does not look correct to spec

[kassim]

Description:
When running the demo 'components' app and when including it in my own app, the 'Mobile date input picker' does not look up to spec.

In particular:

• there is a large space between to input text box and the ok/cancel buttons
• there is no hint to help with the expected input format

the space appears to be due to the height of the 'Mobile calendar picker' which is also inflated (but hidden behind the input view)

Expected behavior:

• there shouldn't be a large space between the input box and the ok/cancel buttons
• there should be a hint to guide the input format

@gabrielemariotti , any idea whether this 🐛 will be looked at in the near future?

Looks as if #2162 might fix this
