How to change the color of the line in ICS styled EditText

Question

I and using ABS together with theme holo in my application and i get EditText styled as if in ICS.

But the line color of the EditText is blue by default and for my design, i need white colored line for the EditText.

I tried changing the background, but it is not working.

Is there any way so that I can change the color from blue line to white programmatically?

Answer 1

I found the answer in this link where they are using LayerList

I used a layer-list for creating an ICS styled edittext as it was needed only in one place.

It works great and no issues found with varying screen resolutions. It wont accept a transparent background but works as needed for me!

For Full Customization :

In addition, these are other links where we can customize the ICS styles.

1. ActionBar Sherlock Style Generator

2. Holo Style Generator

3. Holo Theme Custom UI Libraries

Happy Coding..!! :)

Answer 2

Try android:background="#00000000" This only for White(or Simply hide the Bottom Line)
