android - How to add hint into EditText with inputType="numberDecimal"?

Question

I have an EditText like below:

<EditText
android:id="@+id/et_sum"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:inputType="numberDecimal"
android:hint="Enter sum" />

But the hint is not displayed. Is it possible to display the EditText hint with inputType="numberDecimal" or not?

Answer 1

you can use

android:ellipsize="start"

to make the hint displayed with an inputtype and gravity
