Also you can use the 'hint' property: android:hint="@string/hint_email"

Then, the text label is ignored when you input a value.

For setting color of hint texts, see stackoverflow here

Try this out :

<FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:paddingLeft="40dp" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:paddingLeft="10dp"
            android:text="Gender" />
</FrameLayout>

Hope it helps.
