I'm new to Android Studio, and I am currently trying to create a simple event tracking app. The EditText for password is visible in the design view, but when running the app, is not present in the emulator. I have no idea what is going on...

I have tried changing the emulator, removed the cardview widget, switched from linear layout to relative layout... all unsuccessful. Bear with me. This is my first app, and I'm still learning how to use and manipulate all of the different components. Below is the code for the xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android=";
    xmlns:tools=";
    xmlns:card_view=";
    xmlns:app=";

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    <ImageView

I have edittext displayed for password entry, maybe you programmatically changed the visibility somewhere. – dmortal Commented Feb 1 at 6:27

Sorted by: Reset to default 0

Your card view contains multiple child elements without containing viewGroup(Relative or constraint layout) in the cardview first you take one view group and inside place all whatever you want.
It maybe because of your android:background="@drawable/custom_text" check it this properly it once what it is doing.
Remove backgroundTint for the card it maybe confict with the cardview
And try to apply the visiblity for the edittext at run time edittext.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

let me know still if you face any issue
