Handles of EditText are underlined

Handles of EditText are underlined - android

I encountered a problem recently, which was to change the default underline bar of an edittext from a default blackish color to white.
I used this solution, which seemed to me the best practices by changing the style of the EditText :
EditText
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/nom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/Activity_Main_EditText_Nom"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textColorHint="#color/activityBackground"
android:theme="#style/EditTextStyle"
android:visibility="gone"
/>
style.xml
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/activityBackground</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="EditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
It worked ! But it also added to the handles of the EditText an underline bar...
Any ideas ?
Answer
By discussing with #rafsanahmad007, we finally got to a final solution.
style.xml
<resources>
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowDisablePreview">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#color/activityBackground</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTheme.EditText" parent="MyTheme">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
</resources>
Apply MyTheme to application, as usual. When you want to tweak an EditText just add to it :
EditText
<EditText
...
android:theme="#style/MyTheme.EditText"
...
/>

Problem is with your style themes.. parent
use below code:
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:theme="#style/MyStyle.EditText"/>
Now in your styles.xml
<style name="MyStyle.EditText">
<item name="editTextStyle">#style/MyEditTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyEditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
try not to use the theme parent directly
EDIT
add the color property in base theme also
<style name="Theme.App.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
make sure you select the theme in your activity in manifest...

How to set the style of TextInputEditText in styles.xml

I am using TextInputEditText in my registration screen. I am able to set the style of floating label. I want to set the custom font on hint and text of TextInputEditText using style. Does anyone know whats way of it ?
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/til_registration_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:paddingEnd="#dimen/default_view_padding_right_8dp"
android:paddingStart="#dimen/default_view_padding_left_8dp"
android:textColorHint="#color/colorSecondaryText"
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/AppTheme.InputLayoutStyle"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/textview_registration_title">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/registration_name"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimaryText" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
styles.xml
<style name="AppTheme.InputLayoutStyle" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="fontFamily">#font/lato_light</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
<item name="android:textViewStyle">#style/AppTheme.TextView</item>
<item name="buttonStyle">#style/AppTheme.Button</item>
</style>
I want to set style for entire application.

Old question but worth to answer.
Just set the "textInputStyle" to style the TextInputLayouts and "editTextStyle" to style the TextInputEditTexts in your app theme.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
<item name="android:textViewStyle">#style/AppTheme.TextView</item>
<item name="buttonStyle">#style/AppTheme.Button</item>
<item name="textInputStyle">
#style/MyCustomTextInputStyle
</item>
<item name="editTextStyle">
#style/MyCustomEditTextStyle
</item>
</style>
<style name="MyCustomTextInputStyle" parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/colorSecondaryText</item>
<item name="hintTextAppearance">#style/any_style_you_may_want"</item>
</style>
<style name="MyCustomEditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="fontFamily">#font/lato_light</item>
</style>
This will apply the same style to all TextInputLayout and TextInputEditText in you application.

How to set textColorSecondary on toolbar theme

I have tried for several days to fix a problem where multiple of my UI elements in my toolbar is the wrong color. If you take a look at the picture below you can see what I mean:
Elements that should be white are black and I just can't figure out how to fix this through my theme.
Here's my themes.xml (sry about the mess in there, but theming is really difficult):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.GuidelinesCompat.Light.DarkToolbar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>

<item name="actionModeStyle">#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar.ActionModeStyle</item>
<item name="searchViewStyle">#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar.SearchViewStyle</item>
<!--<item name="android:actionModeBackground">#color/bg_action_mode</item>-->
<!--<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/white</item>-->

</style>
<style name="ActionModeTitleTextStyle" parent="Widget.GuidelinesCompat.ActionButton.Overflow">

<style name="AppTheme.NavigationView">
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/colorTextSecondary</item>
</style>
<!-- Theme applied to Textview in LoginActivity and SignUpActivity -->
<style name="WhiteText" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
</style>
<!-- Animations applied to dialog when entering or exiting -->
<style name="DialogAnimation">
<item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">#anim/slide_up</item>
<item name="android:windowExitAnimation">#anim/slide_down</item>
</style>
I've found out that if I set textColorSecondary in my AppTheme.NoActonBar all my controls are correctly coloured white, but this gives me trouble in all my dialogs, that now also have textColorSecondary set to white.
I hope someone out there can show me a solution, cause I'm out of ideas.

Try this here .
In your toolbar layout:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="#style/ToolBarStyle"
app:popupTheme="#style/ToolBarPopupStyle"
android:background="#color/actionbar/>
In your styles:
<!-- ToolBar -->
<style name="ToolBarStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionMenuTextColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/ActionButtonOverflowStyle</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
</style>

Popup menu text color is not working, background color working fine

On my main app theme I have:
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/MyApp.PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceLargePopupMenu
</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceSmallPopupMenu
</item>
And then I have
<style name="MyApp.PopupMenu" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:textColorSecondary">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
<item name="android:background">#color/color_white</item>
<item name="overlapAnchor">true</item>
<item name="android:overlapAnchor">true</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceLargePopupMenu
</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/MyTextAppearanceSmallPopupMenu
</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextAppearanceLargePopupMenu" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.PopupMenu.Large">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextAppearanceSmallPopupMenu" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Widget.PopupMenu.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/black</item>
</style>
But my popup menu appears with a white background and white letters instead of black. I have tested this by changing the background and that works fine.
So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Edit: Figured it out, my app theme has <item name="android:textColor">#color/primary_text</item> and that seems to override whatever I do on popup menu styles.

Here's an example:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupStyle</item>
<item name="textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/PopupTextAppearanceLarge</item>
<item name="textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/PopupTextAppearanceSmall</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.AppBarOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.PopupOverlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#ff00ff</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.PopupMenu">
<item name="android:popupBackground">#ff00ff</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupTextAppearanceLarge" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.Widget.PopupMenu.Large">
<item name="android:textColor">#ffff00</item>
</style>
<style name="PopupTextAppearanceSmall" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.Widget.PopupMenu.Small">
<item name="android:textColor">#ffff00</item>
</style>
</resources>
Toolbar example:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay"
app:popupTheme="#style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>

Its very late but the main reason is that the attribute android:textColor is applied to the popup menu which is defined in the main style (parent) and you can't control by defining your style for popup menu. Don't know the reason for this weird functionality but it as it is, its google .
So add <item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item> in the parent style.

Material Design: EditText's highlight color becomes half transparent

In Android 5.0 device, you can see the highlight color overlaps the normal color.
In Android 4.4.4(the normal case),
My EditText:
<EditText android:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/account"
android:padding="16dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"/>
Style:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base"/>
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
</style>
v21 Style
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base">
</style>
I don't know why this happened.
The code works great at another app.
But I could not find any difference between two apps.
Does anyone know about this ?
Thanks!
[UPDATE]
Sorry, also happen to the other projects with the same code.

OK,
I report the issue and got reply from Google.
The EditText drawables were updated in 5.1 (which is what 4.4 and below are using).
Since the visual change is small it's not worth updating these for 5.0.x.
Thanks for the report though.

add this for your styles.xml(v19) and styles(v22) :
#color/colorHighlight
You can do like this :
in the styles.xml :
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/white</item>
</style>
and for styles.xml(v19) :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base">
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorHighlight</item>
and for styles.xml(v22) :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="android:colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:colorControlHighlight">#color/colorHighlight</item>
<item name="android:windowContentTransitions">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTransitionBackgroundFadeDuration">5000</item>
</style>

Android Select text toolbar options color issue

I'm facing this weird problem with the bar that appears when you select a text
I'm using Appcompat v7 library the last version. This is my theme defenition:
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/material_blue_grey_800</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="drawerArrowStyle">#style/DrawerArrowStyle</item>
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">#style/TabStyle</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceButton">#style/AppTheme.ButtonTextAppearance</item>
<item name="android:textViewStyle">#style/MyTextViewStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="MyTextViewStyle" parent="android:Widget.TextView">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/text</item>
<item name="android:textColorLink">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.ButtonTextAppearance" parent="#style/Base.TextAppearance.AppCompat.Button">
<item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
None of the colors are white, so I don't really know where it comes this white bar color and white icons.
Any clue?

In order to make the text selection actionMode background color, use the below in your style:
<item name="windowActionModeOverlay">true</item>
<item name="actionModeBackground">#color/dodgerblue</item>

try using the following style
<style name="customToolbar" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
<item name="windowActionBarOverlay">true</item>
</style>
and in your toolbar add following attributes
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/primary"
app:popupTheme="#style/customToolbar"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" >
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
