I am trying to create a text field layout similar to material design - error user input, but I am facing an issue with the hint color. The Material Design guidance states the hint color for a light theme should be
Hint and helper text: #000000 with 38% opacity
which made me add <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/hint_color</item> to my AppTheme and <color name="hint_color">#61000000</color> to my colors.xml.
However, the hint color always the same as my <item name="colorAccent">@color/accent</item> (part of AppTheme) which is currently set to light blue.
So how can I fix this? I have tried to set the hint color directly on the TextInputLayout and AppCompatEditText but no luck.
Thanks,
Lars
Found the solution:
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" is defined in your layoutapp:hintTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearence.TextInputLayout.Light.Hint"Define the style in your styles.xml
<style name="TextAppearence.TextInputLayout.Light.Hint" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/textinput_hint_light_color</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item></style>
Finally define the color <color name="textinput_hint_light_color">#61000000</color> in your colors.xml (38% of 255 converted to hex is 61)
