How to change the border color(un-focused) of an EditText?

Question

I changed the background color of the EditText to transperant. Now the EditText looks invisible when not focused. So how can I change the un-focused border color of EditText

Answer 1

You can create a linearlayout with background color the color which you want the border should be. Then place the Edit text inside this Linearlayout and give some background color. Eg : if border is grey then background for Linearview is grey. and edit text background black.

for width of border you can give padding = "1dp" for border_width = "1dp".
