change font for editText hint

Question

Is it possible to change the font for the hint displayed in the EditText field? I want to set the font in the xml itself.

Answer 1

I haven't find out any useful way to change hint font in XML.But you can achieve like this:

mEt.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
    @Override
    public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
        if(s.length()== 0) {
            //mEt.setTypeFace(normalFont);
        }else{
           // mEt.setTypeFace(hintFont);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
    }
});
