Add below code in layout xml file for TextInputLayout:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        app:hintAnimationEnabled="false">

        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:hint="@string/enter_message" />

    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

In string.xml file add following code:

<string name="enter_message">Enter Message<font fgcolor="red">*</font></string>

You can't set HTML data using XML. It has to be done in code, otherwise the data doesn't take effect — Zoe, Sep 26 '17 at 07:34
