I need to customize a caret color in the specific text input.
screenshot with needed element
I've found three options to do this but none works for me.
Adding to style.xml the next code:
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/white</item>
But it works for all control items like Switch, other TextInputs etc. And I need to change color only for single TextInput.
I've tried to specify
selectionColor
, but it works only for cursor and the background of the selected text, not caret.I've tried to add the drawable xml file and add to style.xml the next thing:
<item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/myEditText</item>
<style name="myEditText" parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.EditText"> <item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@drawable/color_cursor</item> </style>
But it is not work at all. Used this answer like template
