How to change the placeholder color in android app created using React Native

Question

I'm creating an Android app using React Native in which there's a form. The placeholder doesn't even appear for the textInput fields so I thought of changing the placeholder color but I don't know how to do that. The docs mentioned some way which I don't understand.

Here's the code:

  <TextInput   secureTextEntry={secureTextEntry}   style={inputStyle}   placeholder={placeholder}   value={value}   onChangeText={onChangeText}   />    inputStyle: {   color: '#000',   paddingRight: 5,   paddingLeft: 5,   fontSize: 18,   lineHeight: 23,   flex: 2,   } 

I also tried:

  <TextInput   placeholderTextColor="blue"   style={inputStyle}   placeholder={placeholder}   value={value}   onChangeText={onChangeText}   /> 

and

  inputStyle: {   color: '#000',   paddingRight: 5,   paddingLeft: 5,   fontSize: 18,   lineHeight: 23,   flex: 2,   placeholderTextColor: '#333'   } 

Answer 1

Like so:

<TextInput    placeholder="something"    placeholderTextColor="#000"  />
