how to change EditText hint color in android

Question

I have a login

If user don't enter username or password and press "login" button, the EditText hint will warn you, like thislogin(turn red). How can I implement this?

I think you should set error instead

editText.setError(getString(R.string.error_required));

but if you want that

editText.setHint()
editText.setHintTextColor

Based on the image you have posted , it is very simple to show that hint when there is no data entered in username/password fields.

if(username.isEmpty())
{
  usernameEditTextView.setHint("please enter username");
  usernameEditTextView.setHintTextColor(R.color.Red);
}
