Question

I want to change the width and color of the cursor that blinks in an Android EditText field. Is that possible?

Answer 1

res/drawable/cursor_red.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" >
    <size 
        android:width="5dip" />
    <solid
        android:color="@color/red" />
</shape>

in your EditText:

android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/cursor_red"

note: only API 12 and above
