how to Remove text onfocus of EditText in android?

Question

I have a scenario, for example, a EditText in acitivity instead of using Textview as a label of it i want to put text "UserName" inside EditText and if user clicks on it. it should disappear and EditText should get empty to enter data in it.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

android:hint="username"

put this attribute in EditText

thats it.

Answer 2

onclickListener does not work with EditText items, you'll have to use an OnFocusListener.
