You need to set background source for an edit text.
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 siteHere you are:
editText.getBackground().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
You can set background of edittext to a rectangle with minus padding on left, right and top to achieve this.
Here is the xml example for setting different line colors for focused and not focused edittext, just set it as background of edittext.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:top="-2dp"
android:left="-2dp"
android:right="-2dp"
android:bottom="2dp">
<selector >
<item android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_focused="true">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#6A9A3A"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_enabled="true">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
</item>
</layer-list>
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
you can set android:backgroundTint="@color/blue" to change the color of the Edittext bottom line
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="@drawable/text"
android:ems="10"
android:textColorHint="#fefefe"
android:hint="@string/text1"
android:textColor="#fefefe"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
/>
Use the below code in your res/drawable/text.xml
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:top="24.0dp">
<shape >
<solid android:color="#fefefe" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
You can use the android:background = "@color/black" for the api 21
or above 21 (This will apply for lollypop device or above versions) and for below versions you should use the style to the edittext.
I had the same problem solved it by changing the color of the backgroundTint as follows -
android:backgroundTint="@color/light_color"
If your using TextInputLayouts for EditText, we should change the following properties.
<item name="colorControlNormal">#c5c5c5</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/your color</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/your color</item>
By default colour is colorAccent.
