I am using EditText
with TextInputLayout
. I just want to change the floating hint color of TextInputLayout
if the EditText is disabled. I tried with selector it is not working.
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_enabled="false" android:textColor="@color/darkGray" />
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false" android:textColor="@color/lightGray"/>
</selector>
There's one method called setHintTextAppearance(int styleId)
in TextInputLayout
class. You can use this method to set difference colors to hint text on basis of enabled/disabled state.
Example :
//for disabled editText
mEditText.setEnabled(false);
mTextInoutLayout.setHintTextAppearance(R.styles.CustomHintDisabled);
//for enablededitText
mEditText.setEnabled(true);
mTextInoutLayout.setHintTextAppearance(R.styles.CustomHintEnabled);
And in your styles.xml
<style name="CustomHintDisabled" parent="YourBaseTheme.TextAppearance">
<item name="textColor">@color/gray</item>
</style>
<style name="CustomHintEnabled" parent="YourBaseTheme.TextAppearance">
<item name="textColor">@color/black</item>
</style>
If you want to change hint of every TextInputLayout
with same color you can change it from style
with below code.
<style name="income" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/green</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">@color/green</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/green</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/green</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/green</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/green</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">@color/green</item>
</style>
here I have used this code for only one TextInputLayout
and it has changed its hint color, text color, color of textinputlayout when selected, unselected too.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/input_income"
style="@style/income"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/input_days"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:hint="Enter Monthly Take Home Income"
android:textColorHint="#18c418"
android:theme="@style/income"
app:hintAnimationEnabled="true">
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Using android:theme
is important to apply it for lollipop and above.
Try app:hintTextAppearance in your android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
. By defining a style for app:hintTextAppearance
, you can also simply set the color of floating label.
in styles.xml:
<style name="CustomTextAppearance" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/colorAccent</item>
and in your TextInputLayout:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/lyt_goal"
style="@style/CustomTextInput"
app:hintTextAppearance="@style/CustomTextAppearance">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="@+id/edt_goal"
style="@style/CustomEditText"
android:hint="@string/str_goal" />
Hope this will help you.
Do following steps :- 1. Add this style into your styles.xml
<style name="FloatingLabel" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/theme</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>
2.Use it like bellow
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/loginPassLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/user"
android:textColorHint="@color/white"
foo:hintTextAppearance="@style/FloatingLabel">
<com.app.Widget.EditTextPlus
android:id="@+id/edt_email"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:hint="Email"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:maxLength="30"
android:maxLines="1"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:text=""
android:textColor="@color/white"
android:textColorHint="@color/white"
android:textSize="15sp"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
You can set the theme in your TextInputLayout
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="@style/TextLabel">
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="First Name"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">@color/colorHint</item>
<item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorNormal</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/colorActivated</item>
</style>
For other EditTextlayout
it will pick color from colorAccent defined in your application theme.
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
Hope it will help you.
You have to 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>
Hope this works for you.
