RadAutoCompleteTextView hint color

[comporell]

Hello,

I couldn't find any documents on how to change the hint color of RadAutoCompleteTextView. Is it possible to change its color?

Best Regards,

[comporell]

Inspired from this post I found a workaround until this is supported.

Example for NativeScript 7 with Angular:

<RadAutoCompleteTextView #autocomplete
                                 (didAutoComplete)="onDidAutoComplete($event)"
                                 (focus)="onAutoCompleteFocus($event)"
                                 (loaded)="onAutoCompleteLoaded($event)"></RadAutoCompleteTextView>

...
import { isAndroid} from '@nativescript/core';

import { RadAutoCompleteTextView, TokenModel } from 'nativescript-ui-autocomplete';
import { RadAutoCompleteTextViewComponent } from 'nativescript-ui-autocomplete/angular';

declare var android: any;

...
onAutoCompleteLoaded(args: EventData): void {
    const autoComplete = args.object as RadAutoCompleteTextView;
    // solution for Android
    if (isAndroid) {
        const textField = autoComplete.nativeView.getTextField(); // android.widget.EditText
        textField.setHintTextColor((android.graphics as any).Color.GRAY);
    }
}

For iOS the color was fine in my scenario so I did not check how to change it there.

Hope this helps!
