change font for editText hint

Question

Is it possible to change the font for the hint displayed in the EditText field? I want to set the font in the xml itself.

Answer 1

use this code:

edittext.setAccentTypeface(typeface);

Answer 2

There is a very simple way to do it. I just did in my App and it worked. The Key is set Facetype of your TextInputLayout too along with EditText.

mEmailView.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), getString(R.string.app_font)));
((TextInputLayout) findViewById(R.id.tilEmail)).setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), getString(R.string.app_font)));
