Android EditText for password with android:hint

Question

Just noticed that android:password has been deprecated, and we should be using android:inputType. Was experimenting with it by setting in my xml

Answer 1

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!
