Cursor is not visible in EditText when no text is there [duplicate]

Question

I have an EditText declared as below.

<EditText      android:layout_margin="2dip"     android:singleLine="true"     android:lines="1"     android:maxLines="1"     android:cursorVisible="true"     android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/Black"     android:textColor="@color/black"     android:paddingLeft="5dp"     android:paddingRight="5dp"     android:background="@android:drawable/editbox_background" /> 

But its not not displaying the cursor, when getting focus. When I starts typing, its showing the cursor from 1st index. I want the cursor to be displayed even in empty edittext.

I have already tried setSelection(0)but nothing happened. Please help me what should I do?

Answer 1

As mentioned above, here's the actual line

android:textCursorDrawable="@null" 

fyi - @null didn't show up as an autocomplete option
