I know that this question has been posted million of time, but I can't get a working solution for my case.
I need to change the cursor color of my searchView. I don't have a xml definition of the searchView, I use it programmatically.
Here my code:
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_contacts, menu);
SearchManager manager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView search = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
search.setSearchableInfo(manager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
return true;
}
I'm using this:
import android.support.v7.widget.SearchView;
Thanks
Did you try it?
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_contacts, menu);
SearchManager manager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(Context.SEARCH_SERVICE);
SearchView search = (SearchView) menu.findItem(R.id.action_search).getActionView();
search.setSearchableInfo(manager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
AutoCompleteTextView searchTextView = (AutoCompleteTextView) search.findViewById(android.support.v7.appcompat.R.id.search_src_text);
try {
Field mCursorDrawableRes = TextView.class.getDeclaredField("mCursorDrawableRes");
mCursorDrawableRes.setAccessible(true);
mCursorDrawableRes.set(searchTextView, R.drawable.cursor); //This sets the cursor resource ID to 0 or @null which will make it visible on white background
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
drawable/cursor.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<size android:width="2dp" />
</shape>
