Change Line Color of EditText - Android

Question

Can I change the line color on EditText. When is active it has some greenish color.

Is it possible to change only the color of line when is active, and how can I do this...?

Answer 1

I had the same problem solved it by changing the color of the backgroundTint as follows -

android:backgroundTint="@color/light_color"

Answer 2

You need to set background source for an edit text.

1. Generate it http://android-holo-colors.com/
2. Than you can apply generated drawable as background like android:background="@drawable/my_theme_edit_text" for the custom EditText. Or you can set that background in your app theme - you will find example in .zip file from that site

Answer 3

add to your themes.xml this line:

<item name="colorAccent">@color/black</item>

this sets the default color for colorControlActivated which is used to tint widgets

Answer 4

Here you are:

editText.getBackground().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
