So I have a LinearLayout and 4 EditText-s in it with grayish hint colors in XML. And I have button that dynamically adds new EditText-s to LinearLayout. The problem is when I use setHint("text") it makes hint color for new created views black.
Also tried setHintTextColor() but the only way it worked for me by setting custom color. Is there a default hint color that I can set by setHintTextColor()?? or maybe some method that does it when it's called?
Code looks like this:
private EditText createNewTextView(String text) {
++x;
final ActionBar.LayoutParams lparams = new ActionBar.LayoutParams(ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
final EditText editText = new EditText(this);
editText.setLayoutParams(lparams);
editText.setHint("Name" + x);
editText.setHintTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.hintcolor));
return editText;
}
p.s. I made new color in colors which is called hintcolor
I've been looking for solution, but there was nothing that would help me, or I just didn't understood it. I'm new at android and programming so don't judge please, just explain. Thanks a lot

It may be too late but for the sake of others who have the same problem, I solved it by making a method to get default textColorHint.
It returns the color of the hint text for all the states (disabled, focussed, selected...) that specified in the current theme.
int getHintTextColor(Context context) {
int[] hintTextColor = new int[] { android.R.attr.textColorHint };
int indexOfAttrTextColorHint = 0;
TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(hintTextColor);
int textColor = ta.getColor(indexOfAttrTextColorHint, 0xFF808080);
ta.recycle();
return textColor;
}
I hope this helps.
