android-edittext Getting started with android-edittext Styling In EditText

Example

Changing the edit text's appearance when it's selected, pressed and not selected can be customised easily by adding creating a new style for your edit text like so

<style name="EditTextTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/accent</item>
</style>

And then add this style to your EditText like

<EditText
    android:width="wrap_content"
    android:height="wrap_content"
    style="@style/EditTextTheme" />
