I use FloatLabel library (https://github.com/weddingparty/AndroidFloatLabel) to add a little animation when user begin to write something in an EditText Android.
My problem is that the typeface seems to be changed when i apply the password type to my EditText. I would like to keep the same typeface as normal. (see picture 1)

But when i add the following line to apply password type, the typeface of hint seems to be changed !
pass.getEditText().setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);

The following might solve it for you.
pass.setTypeface(user.getTypeface());
Essentially it just passes the Typeface
of your username field and passes it as the Typeface
for your password field.
I found an explanation of this in the Dialogs API Guide.
Tip: By default, when you set an EditText element to use the
"textPassword"
input type, the font family is set to monospace, so you
should change its font family to "sans-serif"
so that both text fields
use a matching font style.
In otherwords, a fix that can be done in XML would be as follows:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
android:hint="@string/password"/>
For some reason I didn't have to set the transformation method so this may be a better solution.
In MyActivity:
EditText editText_password = findViewById(R.id.edittext);
editText_password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
you can use android:hit, and setHitColor in your activity, it will not affect the normal input
It may be late to answer this question but i have came across this problem. So thought to answer this. I have solved it by Implementing a CustomTextWatcher
.
Here is the snippet
private class CustomTextWatcher implements TextWatcher {
private EditText mEditText;
public CustomTextWatcher(EditText e) {
mEditText = e;
mEditText.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
mEditText.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
mEditText.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE);
}
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if(s.length() <= 0){
mEditText.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT);
} else {
mEditText.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE);
}
}
}
Here is how you can use it in your application
EditText pin = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.pin);
pin.addTextChangedListener(new CustomTextWatcher(pin));
