Description

On Android, a string passed for the defaultText parameter to prompt() is instead used as the placeholder text (i.e. the text shown when the box is empty). This behaviour is inconsistent with other platforms and incorrect compared to the documentation.

The offending code (from line 282):

{{
public synchronized void prompt(final String message, final String title, final JSONArray buttonLabels, final String defaultText, final CallbackContext callbackContext)

{ ... promptInput.setHint(defaultText); }}

Instead of EditText.setHint(), EditText.setText() should be called with the default text.
