How to set the hint of autocomplete textview in android

Question

Hi I want to add the AutoCompleteTextview in demo project where I am looking to set the hint as like we can do in EditText.

I know this is possible in EditText using hint property but I don't know how this can be done in AutoCompleteTextiview.

Thanks in advance.

You can set this in the xml file using

android:hint="yourHint"

like so.

<AutoCompleteTextView
        android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/passwordEntry"
        android:ems="10"
        android:text=""
        android:hint="Test" />
