android - EditText hint disappears with gravity -
i have seen many similar questions 1 think still covers new ground:
1) hint text disappears when set gravity
2) android:ellipsize="start"
fixes can have centered hints , centered text
3) why code below still show centered hint text?
<edittext android:id="@+id/details" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:hint="use area provide specific identification information including approximate size, vessel name , registration numbers if available" android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background" android:layout_below="@id/details_title" />
is because of fill_parent instead of wrap_content? thought maybe because hint multiline, shortened , still appeared , centered. differences between , other edittexts needed android:ellipsize="start"
display correctly. bug?
you need use android:gravity="top"
instead of center in order have hint , text start @ top left of box.
