In my application in android are many EditText fields. And I ran into a problem with hint. It is not disappearing when EditText is focused, but it disappears when I start to write something. How can this problem be fixed? Because I need the hint to disappear when the EditText field is touched.
It is for example:
<EditText
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="text"
android:id="@+id/driv_lic_num_reg"
android:hint="@string/driver_license_numb"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:textColorHint="@color/grey_hint"
android:background="@drawable/input_field_background"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_margin="2dp"
android:textCursorDrawable="@color/black"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:nextFocusDown="@+id/pass_reg"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:maxLines="1"
android:maxLength="50"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"/>
You can also custom your XML code by using Selector. Here is an example code.
Create a selector. In file selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true" android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
<item android:color="@color/gray" />
</selector>
In your view
android:textColorHint="@drawable/selector"
