Create the new xml file inside drawable folder.
lets say
a.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" /> <!--background color of box-->
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:top="-2dp"
android:right="-2dp"
android:left="-2dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="<Focus color>" /> <!-- color of stroke -->
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Create another new xml file in drawable, lets say
b.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" /> <!--background color of box-->
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:top="-2dp"
android:right="-2dp"
android:left="-2dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#8AC42F" /> <!-- color of stroke -->
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Create another new xml file in drawable.
lets say
c.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/a"></item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/b">
</item>
</selector>
Try this code.
this is a selector file. it has to be made background to the edittext.
selector automatically switches between two drawable file acording to its (edittext's) state.
Using This EditText
<EditText
android:id="@+id/id_Login_emal_et"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="@drawable/c"
android:ems="10"
android:padding="10dip"
android:hint="Email"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
>
Use properties that define color for edit text that is colorControlActivated
, colorControlHighlight
and colorControlNormal
in your app theme for style.xml
.
<style name="Theme.App.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/blackColor</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/blueColor</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/blueColor</item>
</style>
Use Selector
for different edittext
states:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/twitter_im_edittext_normal" />
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/twitter_im_edittext_normal" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/twitter_im_edittext_normal" />
<item android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/twitter_im_edittext_focused" />
<item android:state_enabled="true" android:drawable="@drawable/twitter_im_edittext_normal" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/twitter_im_edittext_focused" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/twitter_im_edittext_normal" />
</selector>
and your drawable would be as Jayanth sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" /> <!--background color of box-->
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:top="-2dp"
android:right="-2dp"
android:left="-2dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#8AC42F" /> <!-- color of stroke -->
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Try this code:
edit_text.xml
<EditText
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:id="@+id/edit_text"
android:background="@drawable/custom_edit_text_black_line"
/>
Put the Xml file in Drawable Folder (custom_edit_text_black_line.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@android:color/black" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Put the Xml file in Drawable Folder (custom_edit_text_blue_line.xml)
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@color/colorPrimaryDark" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
And in Activity write the below code :
edit_text.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus){
edit_text.setBackground(MainActivity.this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.custom_edit_text_blue_line));
} else{
edit_text.setBackground(MainActivity.this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.custom_edit_text_black_line));
}
}
});
