While declaring EditText in xml file, I was warned exactly as given below
No label views point to this text field with an android:labelFor="@+id/@+id/start" attribute
EditText code is
<EditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/start"
android:hint="@string/edit_message" />
You can use the TextInputLayout to display error messages according to the material design guidelines using the setError and setErrorEnabled methods. In order to show the error below the EditText use: TextInputLayout til = (TextInputLayout) findViewById(R. id.
A EditText is an overlay over TextView that configures itself to be editable. It is the predefined subclass of TextView that includes rich editing capabilities.
Android EditText is a subclass of TextView. EditText is used for entering and modifying text. While using EditText width, we must specify its input type in inputType property of EditText which configures the keyboard according to input. EditText uses TextWatcher interface to watch change made over EditText.
You can use View. OnFocusChangeListener to detect if any view (edittext) gained or lost focus. This goes in your activity or fragment or wherever you have the EditTexts.
I also had no idea what this error message was trying to inform me to do!
Thankfully I found an explanation: http://thecodeiscompiling.blogspot.com/2013/12/android-labelfor-waning-fix.html
the warning is telling you the EditText field does not have a TextView that can be read to a user when accessibility is turned on, since you haven't specified one with the android:labelFor attribute.
