title: Placing a $ in Edit Text but not have it show on Database
body: <p><strong>What's the best way to achieve a similar result?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm quite new to android development/java etc, so my first part I want to solve is the $ and per hour hint that stays on the right-hand side of the edit text input.</p>
  
  <p>And then I will tackle the boolean yes or no that allows there to be 2 edit text boxes with a min rate and a max rate that will be able to be input into the database. ( if you have any tips or solutions to this would be greatly appreciated)</p>
