Android EditText for password with android:hint
Hint is displayed correctly with
android:inputType="textPassword"and
android:gravity="center"if you set also
android:ellipsize="start"
Just stumbled on the answer. android:inputType="textPassword" does work with android:hint, same as android:password. The only difference is when I use android:gravity="center", the hint will not show if I'm using android:inputType. Case closed!
Here is your answer. We can use both simultaniously. As i used both and they are working fine. The code is as follows:
<EditText android:id="@+id/edittext_password_la" android:layout_below="@+id/edittext_username_la" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="15dip" android:inputType="textPassword" android:hint="@string/string_password" />This will help you.
