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
