If by "watermark text" you mean the text which appears in the field when it is empty, then use the attribute android:hint="My Text" in the layout or programmatically call setHint( "My Text" ) on your EditText object.

You can add a layout make its height and width fill_parent and make background transparent and add a TextView as a water-mark in this layout.

I hope it can work.
