setHintTextColor() in EditText

Solution 1:

Simply add this in your layout for the EditText :

android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"

Solution 2:

Use this to change the hint color. -

editText.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));

Solution for your problem -

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2,int arg3){
        //do something
    }

    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {
        //do something
    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
        if(arg0.toString().length() <= 0) //check if length is equal to zero
            tv.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
    }
});

Solution 3:

Default Colors:

android:textColorHint="@android:color/holo_blue_dark"

For Color code:

android:textColorHint="#33b5e5"

Solution 4:

Inside Layout Xml File We can Change Color of Hint.....

android:textColorHint="@android:color/*****"

you can replace * with color or color code.

Solution 5:

Seems that EditText apply the hintTextColor only if the text is empty. So simple solution will be like this

Editable text = mEditText.getText();
mEditText.setText(null);
mEditText.setHintTextColor(color);
mEditText.setText(text);

If you have multiple fields, you can extend the EditText and write a method which executes this logic and use that method instead.
