</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

I have removed some unwanted views which are not relevant to the question from card view. I tried setting different colour to background of card view to avoid colour clash between edittext and cardview but still it is not visible. I even tried removing the card view, still the text in my edit text is not visible.

The problem is you have set the height of EditText to 20dp. Make the height of EditText to wrap_content and you will see your text/hint.
