How can I add a placeholder text to EditText in the class that isn’t in the XML?
I have the following EditText in my code which will be shown in alertdialog:
final EditText name = new EditText(this);
Ah, ok. What you’re looking for is
setHint(int). Simply pass in a resource id of a string from your xml and you’re good to go.EDIT
And in XML, it’s simply
android:hint="someText"
