   emailtext.setPressedStyle(styleTextfield);

Answer 1

If you are using some .res file to customize your UI, the UIID to change the TextField's Hint text value is TextHint. Modify the font there, using the Resource editor, and you will change the TextField's hint style.

Answer 2

What you want is to set the font of the unselected style of the TextField to be separate from the selected and pressed style :

 txtField.getUnselectedStyle().setFont(myHintFont);
