Question

How to reduce EditText Hint size?

Answer 1

You can set simple HTML attributes to the hint string itself.

See accepted answer here: Android EditText hint

EDIT: just played with it myself, this worked for me:

view.setHint(Html.fromHtml("" + 
             getString(R.string.hint) + ""));
