Android EditText Hint Size

by

You can do it by setting a size in the string recource.

For example:

<string name="edittext_hint"><font size="15">Hint here!</font></string>

then in your XML just write 

android:hint="@string/edittext_hint"

This will resault in a smaller text for the hint but the original size for the input text.

Hopes this helps for future readers
