Try this:

editText.setText("0", BufferType.EDITABLE); /*// May be unecessary... */
editText.getText().clear();

You may need to set the buffer type to BufferType.EDITABLE first...

In XML use properties 

android:hint=""
android:inputType="number"

In code use 

.setHint("");

You can use an empty string value in res/values/string.xml, like --> < string name:"empty_string">< /string>
