					"body": "[~hpham]: Could I get you thoughts on this?\r\n\r\nHere's what I've found out so far. Using `Ti.UI.createTextArea` and `Ti.UI.createTextField` on a white background will cause the hint text to not be visible. This is due to the default theme being `Theme.AppCompat`. \r\n\r\nThe default behavior on a native app sets the background to something dark. Hence, hint text is visible. When using the same theme in a native app on a white background, the hint text as well as the under line that tells you it is a EditText is not visible. Thus, this seems to be a native behavior.\r\n\r\nIf you edit the tiapp.xml with the following:-\r\n{code}\r\n<android xmlns:android=\"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android\">\r\n        <manifest>\r\n        \t<application android:theme=\"@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar\"/>\r\n    \t</manifest>\r\n</android>\r\n{code}\r\n\r\nIt will use the light theme which uses a white background and the underline of each EditText as well as hint text is visible. \r\n\r\nConversely is true as well. Using the Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar on a black background will cause the hint text and underline to be not visible.\r\n\r\nSolution Suggestion:-\r\n1) If using a white background, advice users to edit the tiapp.xml as above. If using a black background, users can remain using the default theme Theme.AppCompat.\r\n2) https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/c739c3b4f712a031e4f55ae4ec9348ae9d2bf0d9 will be available and users can use Attributed Hint Strings to style the hints how they want it to be. The caveat is the underline to show that the edit text is there wont be visible still on a white background.\r\n3) Expose setHint. This actually wont change the underline color. Similar to number 2.\r\n\r\nI think number 1 should be the answer. The downside to doing that is that everything will also follow that style. Eg, creating Buttons and not styling it will result the button to follow the new theme. I don't think this is too much of a downside.\r\n\r\nAnd if anyone else have thoughts on this, please comment on this as well.",

One using the light theme, another using the dark theme, here: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/android/modules/ui/res/layout/titanium_ui_edittext.xml\r\n\r\nThen, in the createTextArea/createTextField, we can create one more new attribute deciding which theme a user wants to use. Then on create, inflate https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/android/modules/ui/src/java/ti/modules/titanium/ui/widget/TiUIText.java#L96. \r\n\r\nThe only missing puzzle to using this method is that this has to be done in the constructor (in TiUIText) due to the inflating of the View (EditText), and the attributes are only read later (as far as I know right now) in the processProperties method. You can't get it in the constructor. ",
