Use the property android:hint

<EditText android:hint="Username"> </EditText>

There is something easier: use the hint-property, it does exactly what you want. It's only shown when the EditText ist empty.

Use the android:hint tag in the xml

E.g.,

 <EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="username" />

Use the android:hint="UserName" in the xml file.

<EditText android:id="@+id/username" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Enter Text to Send" android:inputType="text" android:text="" />

and also use android:password="true" in the password EditText
