Android EditText Hint Size

Question

How to reduce EditText Hint size?

Answer 1

I also had to do this as my hint didn't fit in the EditText at the standard size. So I did this (in the xml set textSize to mHintTextSize):

MYEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){

                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                }

                @Override
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1,
                        int arg2, int arg3) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                }

                @Override
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int start, int before,
                        int count) {
                    if (arg0.length() == 0) { 
                        // No entered text so will show hint
                        editText.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, mHintTextSize);
                    } else {
                        editText.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, mRealTextSize);
                    }
                }
        });
