Change the color of the cursor of an EditText in Android across all the sdk

问题

Want to change the android's edittext cursor color, that has to be worked on across all the devices

回答1:

i had to use a drawable like this:

mycursor.xml:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
        <size android:width="1dp" />
        <solid android:color="@android:color/holo_blue_light"/> 
<!--make sure its a solid tag not stroke or it wont work -->
    </shape>

in my edit text i set the cursor drawable attributes like this:

                            <EditText
                            android:id="@+id/et_details"
                            android:layout_width="match_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:cursorVisible="true"
                           android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/mycursor"  
                            />

The way to get it across all platforms is as such.

1 - Open your layout.xml in your layout folder. Find the edit text and set

android:cursorVisible="true"

this will set the cursor for devices lower that os version 11

2 - Create your cursor_drawable.xml in the drawable folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
    <size android:width="1dp" />
    <stroke android:color="@color/black"/>
</shape>

3 - Create a folder layout-v11

4 - Copy your layout.xml into the layout-v11

5 - Find your edit text and set android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/cursor_drawable"

This will make a cursor be shown on all devices and OS.

Assign android:textCursorDrawable attribute to @null and set android:textColor as the cursor color.

Create drawalble xml: edtcolor_cursor

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
        <size android:width="1dp" />
        <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"  />
    </shape>

<EditText  
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:cursorVisible="true"
    android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/edtcolor_cursor"
    />
