Answer 1

It may be too late but for the sake of others who have the same problem, I solved it by making a method to get default textColorHint.
It returns the color of the hint text for all the states (disabled, focussed, selected...) that specified in the current theme.

int getHintTextColor(Context context) {
    int[] hintTextColor = new int[] { android.R.attr.textColorHint };
    int indexOfAttrTextColorHint = 0;
    TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(hintTextColor);
    int textColor = ta.getColor(indexOfAttrTextColorHint, 0xFF808080);
    ta.recycle();
    return textColor;
}

I hope this helps.
