How to clear an EditText on click?

by

I’m not sure if you are after this, but try this XML:

android:hint="Enter Name"

It displays that text when the input field is empty, selected or unselected.

Or if you want it to do exactly as you described, assign a onClickListener on the editText and set it empty with setText().
