Underline EditText Hint Text

Question

Is it Possible to underline the hint text in Androids EditText ? I want to underline the hint text and disable underline for the real text in my edit text. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You can set a charsequence programitically using FromHtml In that add

String str =    "Start Text <u>Your Hind</U> End Test";

Or simply add a string in strings.xml

"Start Text <u>Your Hind</U> End Test"

and set to EditText

See Sample Code

Strings.xml

<string name="str_hint">Hello <u>This is hello</u>world!</string>

Layout File

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView1"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="@string/str_hint" />

Answer 2

setHint采用CharSequence，因此您可以向其发送带下划线的spannable，它应该可以正常工作。
