Change Edittext Hint Color When Using Textinputlayout

Change EditText hint color when using TextInputLayout

Looks like the parent view had a style for a 3rd party library that was causing the EditText to be white.

android:theme="@style/com_mixpanel_android_SurveyActivityTheme"

Once I removed this everything worked fine.

How to change the TextInputEditText floating hint color when not focused

Add this code into your style.xml file ->

<style name="TextLabelDummy" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense">
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/black</item>  // Text Color
        <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/blue</item>    // Hint Color
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item>    //Floating label color
    </style>

You can change the parent attribute whatever you want. I've randomly used the "Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense"

Then call this as theme into you layout file

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            android:id="@+id/textInputLayoutNumberDummy"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="32dp"
            android:theme="@style/TextLabelDummy">

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                android:id="@+id/textInputEditTextNumberDummy"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="@string/text_mobile" />

        </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

It worked fine on my side. Just check it and let me know about it. Thank you.
