Answer 1

Store a string in strings file like this (if you want to make email required):

<string name="email">Email<font fgcolor="red">*</font></string>

and in your editText set hint like this:

android:hint="@string/email"

Answer 2

1. Add below string in your strings.xml for hints.

<string name="hints"><![CDATA[Member ID(Don\'t include dash or space)<font color=\'#cc0029\'>*</font>]]></string>

2. Programmatically set this string as hint text from your Activity class.

EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_member_id);
editText.setHint(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.hints)));

3. Here is your EditText in XML:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_member_id"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

OUTPUT:
