Display/disappear default text in TextField when user enters data/erase the text

Display/disappear default text in TextField when user enters data/erase
the text

I am trying to make a registration form and what i am trying to do is
display a default text in text fields, simple meaning something like the
below image. What i am trying to do is , until the user enters data to a
field for a example there is a field called "First Name". When the user
selects the field "First Name" text disappears and the user can type their
First Name. IF the user doesn't type anything, the text should display
again in the text field.
I tried using the focus listener, but i couldn't really get it to work
because with my method even if the user types data to the field and go to
the next field , the text of the previous field gets deleted and the
default text gets displayed.
Here is what i have done :-
txtFirstName.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
txtFirstName.setText("");
}
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
txtFirstName.setText("First Name");
}
});

Thank you for your time.
