Android EditText with different floating label and placeholder

var tel_text = "Enter your phone number"
Consider that the edittext is tel_text with a large font. When the user starts writing this article in edittext, I want it to be animated from bottom to top. How can I customize Edittext the easiest?

It looks like you want to add a hint to it which animates to the top when user begins to type. Wrap it inside TextInputLayout
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/edt_hint"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Enter your phone number">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

TextInputLayout hint left padding [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Adding a drawableLeft to an EditText shifts the hint towards right, if edittext is inside TextInputlayout
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have added a drawableLeft in and EditText enclosed in TextInputLayout. The position of hint of TextInputLayout is according to the text position(From left i.e. next to drawableLeft) as:
But I want the position of hint as below.
Thank you.

There's no way to currently do this. If you check out the TextInputLayout source, you can see that the hint takes the parent's compound padding into account. The CollapsingTextHelper is not part of the layout's public API, so you can't change its behavior easily.
Your best bet is to change your requirement for this padding or use some sort of custom layout to reach a compromise between effort and effect.

Try below code
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_height="54dp"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:paddingTop="4dp"
android:clipToPadding="false" // above 3 lines are important
android:id="#+id/emailWrapper"
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/floatingLabel">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="54dp"
android:paddingLeft="17dp"
android:paddingRight="17dp"
android:id="#+id/txtEmail"
android:singleLine="true"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:hint="#string/emailPlaceholder"
android:text="a#a.com"
android:background="#drawable/btn_empty_stroke" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

How to replace text in a textfield when user enters any character [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
TextView to display hint before text entered
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
In my android app I have a text field that says "how much would you like to take".
I want the text to be erased automatically and replaced by what the user inputs when they type in that textfield.
Example: if the user enters one character it automatically deletes "how much would you like to take" from the text field and replaces it with the one character that's been entered.

In your xml file use
android:hint="how much would you like to take"
in your TextView definition
(Well, it should be something like "#string/how_much" and that how_much string in strings.xml, but honestly...)

Its called android:hint property of a EditText you can set it into your xml file.
Something like that.
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="how much would you like to take" />

Try this in your xml
Use this in below code android:hint="how much would you like to take"
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtName"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/txtName"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
android:hint="how much would you like to take"
android:inputType="textCapSentences"
/>
Hope it helps

Closed 10 years ago.
I have an edit text. How can I make it non editable from the code.
By giving the tag android:editable we can do in the layout.. But I need to do it in the code...Pls Help

I believe it is as simple as
editText.setEnabled(false);

Refer EDITTEXT
edt.setClickable(false);
edt.setFocusable(false);
***Layout***
<EditText android:id="#+id/edt"
android:layout_width="200px" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="" android:textSize="18sp" android:maxLength="15">
</EditText>

If you didnt find yet an answer, i have found this in the net:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2854

I am using for this problem, this solution:
valueText.setEnabled(false);
valueText.setClickable(false);
valueText.setFocusable(false);
//Just for better text vision
valueText.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
