When an EditText is in password mode, it seems that the hint is shown in a different font (courrier?). How can I avoid this? I would like the hint to appear in the same font that when the EditText is not in password mode.
My current xml:
<EditText
android:hint="@string/edt_password_hint"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:password="true"
android:singleLine="true" />

Changing the typeface in xml didn't work on the hint text for me either. I found two different solutions, the second of which has better behavior for me:
Remove
android:inputType="textPassword"from your xml file and instead, in set it in java:EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password_text); password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
With this approach, the hint font looks good but as you're typing in that edit field, you don't see each character in plain text before it turns into a password dot. Also when making input in fullscreen, the dots will not appear, but the password in clear text.
Leave
android:inputType="textPassword"in your xml. In Java, ALSO set the typeface and passwordMethod:EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.register_password_text); password.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT); password.setTransformationMethod(new PasswordTransformationMethod());
This approach gave me the hint font I wanted AND gives me the behavior I want with the password dots.
