Android: Edittext with hint
<p>Hi i have a edittext with hint ..what iam trying to implement is whenever i am getting the info into the Edittext or when the user types into the edittext..the hint should stay and text user types should start below or beside hint...<strong>can we make the hint permanent?</strong>.or is there any way we can implement ..any suggestion is appreciated </p>

<pre><code>EditText address = new EditText(activity);

                if (data.getAddress() != null
                        &amp;&amp; !data.getAddress().trim().equals("")) {

                    address.setText(data.getAddress());
                } else {
                    address.setHint(R.string.address);
                }
</code></pre>
