Changing Android's EditText cursor pointer color programmatically

Question

So, i've searched a lot but i couldn't find anything, if this ends up being a duplicate i'm sorry, but i want to cange the color of the EditText's cursor pointer that is used to move the cursor

I already managed to change the cursor's color itself but it doesn't affect the pointer which seems to only respond to accentColor.

I'm pretty sure it's possible because i recall seeing an app that did it, it had the pointer and all the elements in a dialog change color based on a color that you choose without changing the accent color of the view below the dialog.

Please help :)

you can use textSelectHandle to replace it by your drawable like this:

android:textSelectHandle="@drawable/your_drawble"
