Hint is not showing in Edit text in lower api

EditText is not showing hint with the following XML code, it is working in some devices like mine is API 19, but not showing hint in android 2.3.3

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/street1ET"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:background="@drawable/custom_edittext"
        android:ems="10"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:hint="@string/street1"
        android:inputType="text"
        android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small"
        android:textColor="#acacac" />

Just add a single line and it will work, i.e android:ellipsize="start"

Also try to change hint color of EditText like this: android:textColorHint="@android:color/black" or relevant color code.
