Programmatically changing underline color of EditText

Question

I have an ordinary EditText field that I would like to programmatically change the underline color for.

Answer 1

@degs's answer is correct. But just add one little note: the AppCompatEditText#setSupportBackgroundTintList is now annotated with @RestrictTo(LIBRARY_GROUP) which means:

Restrict usage to code within the same group of libraries

Instead use ViewCompat#setBackgroundTintList. So in your example, it should look like this:

ColorStateList colorStateList = ColorStateList.valueOf(color);
ViewCompat.setBackgroundTintList(editText, colorStateList);
