How to make text visible in Plain Text after changing its size?

Question

I have problem with changing size of plain text in Android Studio. This is default size of window, and it looks perfect.

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="96dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="96dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="588dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="E-mail"
        android:inputType="textPersonName"
        android:textColorHint="#F8F8F8"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

But after changing these values android:layout_width="196dp" & android:layout_height="32dp" top of hint is cut in half. Like on this screenshot.. Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't know why but after adding background android:background="#000000" it's looking perfect. So it's solution

Answer 2

When you set the android:layout_height="32dp", it is too small for the standard text size. So, converting to android:layout_height="wrapcontent" is the ideal solution.

If you really have to stick to height of 32dp , you should decrease the text size so that it can fit in the given 32dp height.

like that android:textSize="10dp"
