how to programatically set textColorHint to TextInputLayout?

Question

I am trying to create editText having floating hint using Android TextInputLayout. I want to reuse the same TextInputLayout in two layouts.But in both the layout hint color is different. I searched through several links and found that we can set hint color in edittext(not the floating hint color) by adding

android:textColorHint="@color/white" in TextInputLayout.

But how to do it programatically as in other layout color needs to be different

PS: setTextAppearanceHint() is not working.

Try with setHintTextAppearance

setHintTextAppearance(R.style.my_style);

Then

<style name="my_style" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColor">#54D66A</item>

For more details you can check TextInputLayout accent color programmatically.

It is changing the color of floating label hint i.e when edittext is in focus.I want to set the color of hint inside edittext when it is not not in focus. – stack Learner Nov 02 '17 at 08:51
setHintTextColor doenot exist for TextInputLayout – stack Learner Nov 02 '17 at 08:56
exactly why are you giving setHintTextColor to TextInputLayout. GIve it to edit text. – Shweta Chauhan Nov 02 '17 at 08:58
@ShwetaChauhan Think so . – IntelliJ Amiya Nov 02 '17 at 08:59
gicing hint color to edittext that is wrapped in textinputlayout wont work.We need to set hintcolor to textinputlayout only – stack Learner Nov 02 '17 at 08:59

@color/gray changes the color of floating hint when edittext is in focus,not the color of the hint when it is not in focus. – stack Learner Nov 02 '17 at 09:03

As per documentation,i cant find any method which can programatically replace textHintColor attribute of TextInputLayout.It can be set only through xml. – stack Learner Nov 02 '17 at 09:27

You can give this a try. The TextView in TextInputLayout has an id R.id.textinput_error

So,

tv = (TextView) textInputLayout.findViewById(R.id.textinput_error);
tv.setTextColor(int resId);
