You could create a colorstate list (xml file in res/drawable), for example http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/ColorStateList.html
Here is an example i used for textcolors. Should work for HintColors too! res/drawabale/myedittextcolors.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";> <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:color="@android:color/secondary_text_dark" /> <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@android:color/secondary_text_dark" /> <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:color="@android:color/secondary_text_dark" /> <item android:color="@android:color/secondary_text_dark" /> </selector> Now you only have to assign it to your EditText widget. Edit the XML and change android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF" to android:textColorHint="@drawable/myedittextcolors" and it should work. This is usefull if you want to have different colors depending on the state of the edittext (i.e. if its focused, clicked, etc). For one color, use android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF" or android:textColorHint="@color/ mycustomcolor" if you have defined your color in /res/values/ colors.xml On Mar 10, 11:30 am, "Mr.No" <f.hi...@arcor.de> wrote: > Hello, > how do i change the size, style, typeface of a hint? > If the EditText gains the focus the border-color changes to orange, > how do i set a other color? > > rgds > Mr.No --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
