This text field does not specify an inputType or a hint.

The code in

Answer 1

You could add a hint :

android:hint="This will appear to the user if he didn't enter something yet in the EditText"

and a inputType so you could present to the user a better suited soft keyboard for the text he is suposed to enter in the EditText:

android:inputType="number"

will present a soft keyboard with only numbers and various signs.
Those are just warnings, you could ignore them but is better for the user to implement them.
