How do I make EditText show my text input?
I created a login screen with textinput, but I noticed that whenever I entered a character into the editText, it wouldn't show the letters I typed in. I'd greatly appreciate if you helped me with this.
My EditText code:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="44dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:alpha="0.23"
android:background="@drawable/textviewshape"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.709"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/btnLogin"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.427" />

Why did you set this attribute:
android:alpha="0.23"
this will make the text unreadable.
Remove it and if the problem persists try a different textColor.
