How can I get the native Android Editbox

Question

I have created an Editbox in XML using this code:

<EditText
            android:id="@+id/txtEmail"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
            android:inputType="textEmailAddress" >            
        </EditText>      

The textbox renders like this:

How can I get the native android EditText with the orange borders when focused, white background etc. ?

I tried adding

android:background="@android:color/white"

but that only changes the background to white.

Answer 1

The style you are seeing is "native" for the Honeycomb (3.0) Android version, specifically, the new Holo-dark theme. The orange-borders-and-white-background look was last used in 2.3.* and has since been left behind.

But still if you wants the EditText that you want then you need to set the style/theme inside the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light">
