Answer 1

Hint doesn't change color. Try typing text, it will work. As the color change is for text that you input. And also your color code is incorrect, has extra FF for first EditText.

Edited:

Use the following to change hint color

android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"

Answer 2

put in color.xml your color like

<color name="mytextColor">#B49228</color>

and use this

android:textColor="@color/mytextColor"

Answer 3

Hint color and Text Color are two diffrent thing use this codes create a color.xml file in values folder then add color #B49228 in it like this <color name="myColor">#B49228 </color> and use it like this

 android:textColor="@color/myColor"

and you are using hint text so to change hint color use this code

  android:textColorHint="@color/myColor"

Answer 4

android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"

Please try.
