Android password edit text displaying text

Question

I used one Edittext with the android:inputType="textPassword" attribute android:inputType="textPassword" .

But when I enter the text into it, the text becomes a visible character by symbol, and then goes to solid marks.

How can I make the text invisible when the user enters text.

Please help me.
