How to change the color of line at the bottom in EditText? [closed]

Question

I know this question has been asked before but that solution are not working in my case. I want to change edit text bottom line color and tried the solution from other links to add this line to theme in styles.xml

<item name="colorControlNormal">#c5c5c5</item>

but somehow this is not working in my case. I tried changing base theme but still not working for me. And I want to do this with all editext in my app, not just only one. Are there any other ways of doing it??

Answer 1

Edit Style.xml under values folder.

<style name="Theme.App.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="colorControlNormal">#c5c5c5</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">#c5c5c5</item>
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">#c5c5c5</item>
</style>

Answer 2

create a file edittextborder.xml in drawable folder and write

 ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

        <item><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
                <solid android:color="#ffffff" />


            </shape></item>

    </selector>

and Set this file as:

android:background="@drawable/edittextborder"

in editText.
