You have forgot "=" sign with Hint attribute.

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:background="#EEEEEE"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:ems="10"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:hint="Entername"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:paddingBottom="40dp"
    android:paddingLeft="30dp"
    android:paddingTop="40dp"
    android:textColorHint="#AAAAAA"
    android:textSize="16sp"
    android:textStyle="italic" />

You mistyped hint, maybe typo error

It should look like this

android:hint = "enter name"

where you had written it as android:hint "enter name". Missing "="
