TextInput Typed Text not appearing on android
<p>I'm new to react-native and am trying to make an app for both android and iOS at the same time.</p>

<p>Currently, I have a login screen set up, but both the typed text and placeholder text used within textInput is not showing in the app for android (works fine for iPhone).</p>

<p>Here is the code snippet and style sheet:</p>

<pre><code>    'use strict';
import React, { Component } from 'react'
var Dimensions = require('Dimensions');
var windowSize = Dimensions.get('window');

import {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  View,
  Text,
  TextInput,
  Image
} from 'react-native';

class LoginPage extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super()
    this.state = {
        username: '',
        password: ''
    }
  }
  render() {
    return (
        &lt;View style={styles.container}&gt;
            &lt;Image style={styles.bg} source={require('./Resources/orangebackground.png')} /&gt;
            &lt;View style={styles.header}&gt;
                &lt;Image source={require('./Resources/logo.png')} /&gt;
            &lt;/View&gt;
            &lt;View style={styles.inputs}&gt;
                &lt;View style={styles.inputContainer}&gt;
                    &lt;Image style={styles.inputUsername} source={require('./Resources/un.png')}/&gt;
                    &lt;TextInput 
                        style={[styles.input, styles.whiteFont]}
                        underlineColorAndroid={'white'}
                        placeholder='Username'
                        placeholderTextColor="white"
                        //value={this.state.username}
                    /&gt;
                &lt;/View&gt;
                &lt;View style={styles.inputContainer}&gt;
                    &lt;Image style={styles.inputPassword} source={require('./Resources/pw.png')}/&gt;
                    &lt;TextInput
                        password={true}
                        style={[styles.input, styles.whiteFont]}
                        placeholder="Password"
                        placeholderTextColor="#FFF"
                        underlineColorAndroid={'transparent'}
                        //value={this.state.password}
                    /&gt;
                &lt;/View&gt;
                &lt;View style={styles.forgotContainer}&gt;
                    &lt;Text style={styles.greyFont}&gt;Forgot Password&lt;/Text&gt;
                &lt;/View&gt;
            &lt;/View&gt;
            &lt;View style={styles.signin}&gt;
                &lt;Text style={styles.whiteFont}&gt;Sign In&lt;/Text&gt;
            &lt;/View&gt;
            &lt;View style={styles.signup}&gt;
                &lt;Text style={styles.greyFont}&gt;Don't have an account?&lt;Text style={styles.whiteFont}&gt;  Sign Up&lt;/Text&gt;&lt;/Text&gt;
            &lt;/View&gt;
        &lt;/View&gt;
    );
  }
