How do I make EditText show my text input?

Question

I created a login screen with textinput, but I noticed that whenever I entered a character into the editText, it wouldn't show the letters I typed in. I'd greatly appreciate if you helped me with this.

My EditText code:

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="44dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:alpha="0.23"
        android:background="@drawable/textviewshape"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="textPersonName"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.709"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/btnLogin"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.427" />

Answer 1

尝试将EditText属性android:textColor更改为黑色，或尝试删除背景。

Answer 2

您可以给android:textColor=""清楚地看到您在android:background="@drawable/textviewshape"给定的背景色

Answer 3

Why did you set this attribute:

android:alpha="0.23"

this will make the text unreadable.
Remove it and if the problem persists try a different textColor .

Answer 4

尝试更改文本的颜色和大小。
