Nexus 5 Lollipop 5.1.1

Hint never shows up. Here is my EditText:

 <EditText
 android:id="@+id/messageEditText"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_centerVertical="true"
 android:background="@android:color/transparent"
 android:hint="@string/feed_message_box_hint"
 android:textColorHint="@color/hint_foreground_material_dark"
 android:gravity="start|center_vertical"
 android:ellipsize="end"
 android:inputType="textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
 android:maxLines="4"
 android:textColor="@color/feed_message_edit_text_font"
 android:textSize="16sp"
 android:fontFamily="sans-serif-thin"
 android:layout_marginStart="26dp"
 android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/feedPictureButton"
 android:minHeight="53dp" />

I tried both, and more:

Any suggestion on why this doesn't show up ?
