Android EditText setHint's font size dynamically

Question

I've been struggling with setting size of hints in my EditText. The hint's font size becomes too large and the layout starts to look horrible!

EditText dummy = new EditText();
dummy.setHint("some hint");

How do I dynamically and programmatically change the hint's font size w.r.t my priorly set MAX_HINT_SIZE (in pixels)?

Found something for you

editTextPassword.setHint(Html.fromHtml("<font size=\"16\">" + "Password " + "</font>" + "<small>" + "(at least 12 charcters)" + "</small>" ));
