For your requirement, you do not need an onClick event listener.

try it

 <EditText
                android:hint="Enter you name"
                android:id="@+id/editText"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>

or from java code

editText.setHint("Enter you name");

source 
 final EditText edittxt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.youredittext);
    edittxt.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) 
        {
            if (hasFocus == true)
            {
                if (edittxt.getText().toString().compareTo("Your hint") == 0) // default text
                {
                    edittxt.setText("");
                }
            }
        }
    });

    public void onClick(View v){
        ((EditText)v).setText("");
    }
});

android:hint = "text that you want the user to be assisted with while typing" .

EditText, autocompleteText view, android monodroid.
