Change EditText hint color when using TextInputLayout
Define android:textColorHint in your application theme: <style name=”AppTheme” parent=”Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar”> <item name=”colorPrimary”>@color/primary</item> <item name=”colorPrimaryDark”>@color/primary_dark</item> <item name=”colorAccent”>@color/accent</item> <item name=”android:textColorHint”>@color/secondary_text</item> </style> Source Or, in your layout, like: <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout android:layout_width=”match_parent” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android.support.design:hintTextAppearance=”@style/GreenTextInputLayout” android:textColorHint=”@color/secondary_text”>
