12,273 PointsSOLVED: Hint text not showing up
Everything else so far looks good, but when I input text in the hint property of nameEditText, nothing shows up either in the preview or in the emulator (I'm using Genymotion for my emulator, works so much better on a slower computer).
I've tried adjusting text color, but that didn't work, I've removed the text field, and put it in again and redid all the steps, still nothing. I know there's got to be a simple(ish) answer, but I can't seem to find the answer.\

12,273 PointsSo I'm not as smart as I like to think I am... there was a SPACE in the text field. I deleted it and boom! the hint showed up. Leaving this up in case anyone else runs into such a silly problem.
