Enter text into an EditText which then disappears when user clicks inside it

Question

I would be very grateful if someone could explain if it is possible to enter text into an EditText. (This would be done with android:text="")

But then the text would disappear when user clicks inside it.

Thanks

Answer 1

This can be done by using hint:

android:hint="the text you want"

Answer 2

Use the android:hint="" attribute .. it is removed when the edittext is clicked on

EDIT: I was too late :)
