I have found a way to do this by setting
editTextPassword.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<font size=\"16\">" + "Password " + "</font>" + "<small>" + "(at least 12 charcters)" + "</small>" )); and it work for me.

Awesome answer...great
editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){ @Override public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) { } @Override public void onTextChanged(CharSequence arg0, int start, int before, int count) { if (arg0.length() == 0) { // No entered text so will show hint editText.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, mHintTextSize); } else { editText.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, mRealTextSize); } } }); And in onCreate you also need to change text size according to your requirement.

alternatively, changing the size of the text will affect the size of the hint...
<EditText ... android:textSize="14dp"/>
