Is it possible to change part of the color of the hint on android?

Question

I have AppCompatEditTextInside TextInputLayoutand set the tooltip from the resource line.

<string name="company_name">Companyname <font fgcolor='#FF0000'>&#42;</font></string>

The color of the star does not change to red.

This is what I got.

What I want (edited in Photoshop)

I tried drawableEnd with the image, but AppCompatEditText has a width like "match_parent". Thus, it is displayed at the end. I am not like that. Is there any way to do this.

UPDATE:

Tried this:

company_name.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<small><i>" + "Text Hint Here" + "</i><font color=#FF0000>&#42;</font></small>"));

This is what I got. An old hint is not replaced by a new one. Both tips show.

Answer 1

To some extent ...

here are my findings

• Html/Spannablethe Floatingtext TextInputEditTextdoes not work.

  txt_usemail.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#707E90\">" + "Companyname" + "</font>" + "<font color=\"#FF0000\">" + "*" + "</font>"));

2. Html/Spannableon TextInputLayouthint does not work.

   txt_usemail.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#707E90\">" + "Companyname" + "</font>" + "<font color=\"#FF0000\">" + "*" + "</font>"));

3. Html/Spannableon TextInputEditTextworks.

   et_usemaill.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#707E90\">" + "Companyname" + "</font>" + "<font color=\"#FF0000\">" + "*" + "</font>"));

, setHint() TextInputEditText (, 3), Floating .

Floating, setHint() TextInputLayout

EditText /

final TextInputLayout txt_usemail = findViewById(R.id.txt_usemail);
final TextInputEditText et_usemaill = findViewById(R.id.et_usemaill);


et_usemaill.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#707E90\">" + "Companyname" + "</font>" + "<font color=\"#FF0000\">" + "*" + "</font>"));

et_usemaill.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean hasFocus) {

            if (et_usemaill.getText().toString().equals("")) {

                if (hasFocus) {
                    et_usemaill.setHint(null);
                    txt_usemail.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<font color=\"#c5c5c5\">" + "Companyname" + "</font>" + "<font color=\"#FF0000\">" + "*" + "</font>"));
                } else {
                    // Remove Glitch/Smooth Animation
                    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

Answer 4

Try using the Spanny library. With this, we can enable and customize each character with different colors, font size, font style and many other things. And it can be used to set prompts, as well as to set text.

This is a link to the Spanny library

Spanny spanny = new Spanny("Underline text", new UnderlineSpan())
            .append("Company Name ")
            .append("*", new ForegroundColorSpan(Color.RED));

You can set this Spanny object as follows:

textView.setHint(spanny);

or that:

textView.setText(spanny);

Hope this helps.
