How can I change bottom line colour based on EditText state? - android

I have an EditText which I set its state to editable=false on first load like this:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/text_personalPhone"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:background="#drawable/editbox_profile_style"
android:textColorHint="#4d4d4d"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:editable="false"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="#string/user_telephone" />
When I touch a button just at its right, its state changes to editable=true.
I want to hide the bottom line of the EditText to transparent when editable=false, and I want to show the regular line when editable=true.
How can I achieve this?

with appcompat v7
overriding the value for colorControlActivated, colorControlHighlight and colorControlNormal
<style name="Theme.App" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#ffffff</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#e6e6e6</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#e6e6e6</item>
</style>

drawable start not working with material button

Here is the button :
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_choose_photo"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton.Dialog"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/ic_camera"
android:drawablePadding="8dp"
android:text="#string/image_picker_dialog_choose_image"
android:textAlignment="textStart" />
I am using material themes, so this will be inflated into a material button
drawableStart has no effect at all, however drawableEnd, bottom and top work just fine
When I make the button tag a text view, drawableStart works
It seems like a bug or maybe I am missing something ?
Edit: My app theme is as follows :
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
<!---colors-->
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryVariant">#color/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryVariant</item>
<item name="colorSecondary">#color/colorSecondary</item>
<item name="colorSecondaryVariant">#color/colorSecondaryVariant</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorSecondary</item>
<!--
<item name="android:colorBackground">#color/colorBackground</item>

<item name="toolbarStyle">#style/toolbar_style</item>
<item name="actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/overflow_button_style</item>
<item name="android:actionOverflowButtonStyle">#style/overflow_button_style</item>
</style>
You should use app:icon like this:
In the layout:
<Button
...
app:icon="#drawable/ic_camera"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton"
/>
It is displayed at the start, before the text label. You can change icon gravity, tint or size.
For more information
Using
android:drawableLeft
will solve the problem, but will not give you RTL(Right to left) support. If your end user uses a different language which follow RTL, then your Button will not support it.
Are you managing the Button's property in the Activity or Fragment, as technically speaking,
android:drawableStart
should work.
You can change to "App compat button"
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:id="#+id/continuar_anonimo_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
app:backgroundTint="#color/greenPrimary"
android:background="#drawable/corner_boton_outline"
android:text="Continuar anonimamente"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/ic_google_color"
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"/>
Use android:drawableLeft
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_phone"
android:backgroundTint="#android:color/white"

When using Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar style, setting Button Background has no effect

In order to use Chip and ChipGroup, I set Application style extends Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar int manifests.xml, then I set Button "android:background" attr, but it does not effect! why? and what can I do?
This is my style:
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary_material_light</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/header_color</item>
<item name="actionBarSize">48dp</item>
<item name="android:screenOrientation">portrait</item>
<!--<item name="buttonStyle">#style/AntButton</item>-->
<!--<item name="materialButtonStyle">#style/AntButton</item>-->
<!--<item name="android:button"></item>-->
<!--<item name="android:progressTint">#color/ffc000</item>-->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/ffc000</item>
</style>
<style name="AntButton" parent="android:Widget">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/abc_btn_default_mtrl_shape</item>
<item name="android:textAppearance">?android:attr/textAppearanceButton</item>
<item name="android:minHeight">48dip</item>
<item name="android:minWidth">88dip</item>
<item name="android:focusable">true</item>
<item name="android:clickable">true</item>
<item name="android:gravity">center_vertical|center_horizontal</item>
<!--<item name="android:colorButtonNormal">#color/white</item>-->
</style>
I have tried to change buttonStyle and materialButtonStyle, but not effect too!
this is my layout XML:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll_popup"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#color/white"
android:divider="#drawable/shape_divider_05dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:showDividers="beginning|middle">
<!--only can use backgroundTint to change background color-->
<Button
android:id="#+id/item_popupwindows_Photo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="55dp"
android:backgroundTint="#color/white"
android:text="Pictrue"
android:textColor="#color/c_666666"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<!--background not effect !!-->
<Button
android:id="#+id/item_popupwindows_cancel"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="55dp"
android:background="#color/white"
android:text="cancel"
android:textColor="#color/c_666666"
android:textSize="16sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
this is result :
Because I have used Chip and ChipGroup in APP, I have to user theme extends MaterialComponents! do you know how to resolve it ?please tell me, thanks!
in this page Can't use android:background with button from the new material components, the author wants to change the default padding, but I want to change the backgroundDrawable, so, it does not work for me.
If you want a true Button, but one that you can modify like the framework Button (instead of the MaterialButton), then you can explicitly specify the framework version in your layout file. Replace this:
<Button
android:id="#+id/item_popupwindows_cancel"
... />
with this:
<android.widget.Button
android:id="#+id/item_popupwindows_cancel"
... />
This will give you what it says on the tin: an android.widget.Button, which should respond to styling the way you expect.
Similarly, you could use a <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton> if you want support library features but not material components features.
In this particular case, the LinearLayout holding your second Button seems to have a white background color. That means you don't need to explicitly specify a white background for your Button; you can just let the LinearLayout's background show through.
This can be accomplished by using the "Text Button" style of MaterialButton:
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton"
Use this code for change the color
app:backgroundTint="#color/primaryColor"
You can also use ImageButton instead of Button from material components. android:background is working on ImageButton.
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/item_popupwindows_cancel"
... />

Color hint when selected [duplicate]

I am using the new TextInputLayout from the design library. I am able to get it to show and to change the color of the floating label. Unfortunately the actual EditText hint is now always white.
I have tried changing the hintColor in XML, styles, and programmatically and also tried using the android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
but the EditText hint always shows white.
Here is my XML for my TextInputLayout and EditText
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android.support.design:hintTextAppearance="#style/GreenTextInputLayout">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/city"
android:textColorHint="#color/black"
android:hint="#string/city" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
And here is the style I am using for the TextInputLayout (I tried making the hintTextColor attribute black but didn't do anything for me):
<style name="GreenTextInputLayout" parent="#style/TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/homestory_green</item>
</style>
Define android:textColorHint in your application theme:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/primary_dark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/accent</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/secondary_text</item>
</style>
Source
Or, in your layout, like:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android.support.design:hintTextAppearance="#style/GreenTextInputLayout"
android:textColorHint="#color/secondary_text">
Create custom style in style.xml
<style name="EditTextHint" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="colorAccent">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/your color</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
</style>
Then in your layout xml file, add theme attribute as below
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:theme="#style/EditTextHint"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
hope this works
Add textColorHint property to your edit text
android:textColorHint="#F6F6F6"
or whichever color you want
got the same problem. Resolved by putting these lines in parent theme.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/ColorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/ColorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/AccentColor</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#ff0000</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
If you put these
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#ff0000</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/BackgroundtWhiteColor</item>
in a separate style and apply it to TextInputLayout or Edittext it won't appear. You HAVE to place it in application's parent theme.
With the Material Components library you can customize the TextInputLayout the hint text color using:
In the layout:
app:hintTextColor attribute : the color of the label when it is collapsed and the text field is active
android:textColorHint attribute: the color of the label in all other text field states (such as resting and disabled)
Something like:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
app:hintTextColor="#color/mycolor"
android:textColorHint="#color/text_input_hint_selector"
.../>
I'm not sure what causes your problem put this code works perfectly for me. I think it has something to do with using the correct xml namespace (xmlns). I'm not sure if using android.support.design without xml namespace attribute is supported. Or it has something to do with the textColorHint attribute you are using on the EditText itself.
Layout:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/GreenTextInputLayout">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="test"
android:inputType="text" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Style:
<style name="GreenTextInputLayout" parent="#android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">#00FF00</item>
</style>
Refer the below code it worked for me.But it will affect all your controls color.
<!-- In your style.xml file -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<!--EditText hint color-->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/default_app_white</item>
<!-- TextInputLayout text color-->
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/default_app_green</item>
<!-- EditText line color when EditText on-focus-->
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/default_app_green</item>
<!-- EditText line color when EditText in un-focus-->
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/default_app_white</item>
</style>
In the TextInputLayout that holds the EditText, add:
android:textColorHint="someColor"
A lot answers but need only a line for this:
android:textColorHint="#000000"
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtEmail"
android:textColorHint="#000000"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
if you are using the Material design library. Currently, I am using the version
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.3.0-alpha01'
1 - Set color when TextInputLayout is resting.
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/your_color_hint</item>
2 - Set color when TextInputLayout is floating/focused/tapped.
<item name="hintTextColor">#color/your_color_floating_hint</item>
3 - Set color of the line under TextInputLayout.
<item name="boxStrokeColor">#color/TextViewColor_line</item>
4 - Set color of the error under TextInputLayout.
<item name="boxStrokeErrorColor">#color/colorPrimary</item>
You can use android:textColorHint="#color/color_black" inside TextInputlayout It worked for me.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/dp_10"
android:textColorHint="#color/color_black"
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/TextLabel">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_state"
style="#style/profile_editTextStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/billingState"
android:text="#string/billingState"
/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
According to this:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=176559
Try this:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:textColorHint="#A7B7C2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_confirm_password"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:hint="Confirm password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
It works in 23.1.1
Looks like the parent view had a style for a 3rd party library that was causing the EditText to be white.
android:theme="#style/com_mixpanel_android_SurveyActivityTheme"
Once I removed this everything worked fine.
try this may this help
edittext.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "onTextChanged", 2000).show();;
//newuser.setTextColor(Color.RED);
edittext.setHintTextColor(Color.RED);
}
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
int after) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "afterTextChanged", 2000).show();;
}
});
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Name"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textColorHint="#color/grey"/>
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Use textColorHint to set the color that you want as the Hint color for the EditText. The thing is that Hint in the EditText disappears not when you type something, but immediately when the EditText gets focus (with a cool animation). You will notice this clearly when you switch focus away and to the EditText.
late but it may help someone i have done like this
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
android:textColorHint="#8cffffff">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/email_edit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/security_email"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:textColor="#color/white"
app:backgroundTint="#8cffffff" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<item name="colorAccent">#android:color/black</item>
change your colorAccent to your desired color inside your Theme,this will change your EditText line,Cursor as well as your hint
or you can also include this style inside your style.xml
<style name="TextLabel" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#android:color/black</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#android:color/black</item>
</style>
then inside your TextInputLayout you can put it like this
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/input_layout_password"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/TextLabel">
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/password"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/password"
android:maxLines="1"
android:hint="password"
android:inputType="textWebPassword" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
From the documentation:
The hint should be set on the TextInputLayout, rather than the EditText. If a hint is specified on the child EditText in XML, the TextInputLayout might still work correctly; TextInputLayout will use the EditText's hint as its floating label. However, future calls to modify the hint will not update TextInputLayout's hint. To avoid unintended behavior, call setHint(CharSequence) and getHint() on TextInputLayout, instead of on EditText.
Try setting android:hint and app:hintTextColor on TextInputLayout instead of on TextInputEditText.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/input_layout_passdword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColorHint="#d3d3d3">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etaddrfess_ciwty"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="50dp"
android:fontFamily="#font/frutiger"
android:gravity="start"
android:hint="#string/address_city"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textColorHint="#000000"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>``
If you are using new androidx Material design library com.google.android.material
then you can use colorstatelist to control hint text color in focused, hovered and default state as follows. (inspired by this)
In res/color/text_input_box_stroke.xml put something like the following:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#fcc" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:color="#cfc" android:state_hovered="true"/>
<item android:color="#ccf"/>
</selector>
Then in your styles.xml you would put:
<style name="MtTILStyle" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense">
<item name="boxStrokeColor">#color/text_input_box_stroke</item>
<item name="hintTextColor">#color/text_input_box_stroke</item>
</style>
Finally indicate your style in the actual TextInputLayout
For some reason you also need to set android:textColorHint for default text color of hint:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/my_layout_id"
style="#style/LoginTextInputLayoutStyle"
android:textColorHint="#ccf"
...
Here is the complete customization of the google material text input layout. This maybe helpful for you
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginHorizontal="#dimen/_24sdp"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/_24sdp"
android:hint="#string/username"
android:textColorHint="#color/tint"
app:hintEnabled="true"
app:hintAnimationEnabled="false"
app:startIconDrawable="#drawable/ic_user"
app:startIconTint="#color/tint"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/guideline"
app:boxCornerRadiusBottomEnd="#dimen/_45sdp"
app:boxCornerRadiusBottomStart="#dimen/_45sdp"
app:boxCornerRadiusTopEnd="#dimen/_45sdp"
app:boxCornerRadiusTopStart="#dimen/_45sdp"
app:boxStrokeColor="#color/red"
app:boxStrokeWidth="#dimen/_1sdp"
<!-- for password
app:passwordToggleEnabled="true"
app:passwordToggleTint="#color/tint" -->
>
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/_40sdp"
android:padding="0dp"
android:fontFamily="#font/poppins_medium"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
This Should 100% work
android:textColorHint="#color/white"
You must set hint color on TextInputLayout.
When I tried to set theme attribute to TextInputLayout, the theme was also getting applied to its child view edittext, which I didn't wanted.
So the solution which worked for me was to add a custom style to the "app:hintTextAppearance" property of the TextInputLayout.
In styles.xml add the following style:
<style name="TextInputLayoutTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/text_color</item>
<item name="android:textSize">#dimen/text_size_12</item>
</style>
And apply this style to the "app:hintTextAppearance" property of the TextInputLayout as below:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/mobile_num_til"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="#dimen/dim_56"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#id/title_tv"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/title_tv"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/sub_title_tv"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/dim_30"
android:padding="#dimen/dim_8"
app:hintTextAppearance="#style/TextInputLayoutTextAppearance"
android:background="#drawable/rect_round_corner_grey_outline">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/mobile_num_et"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="#string/mobile_number"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"/>
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
Try code below:
The high light color is White:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/input_layout_mobile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/TextStyle"
>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/input_mobile"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:drawablePadding="14dp"
android:drawableLeft="8dp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:hint="Mobile" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
style: TextStyle
<style name="TextStyle" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat">
<!-- Hint color and label color in FALSE state -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
<!-- Label color in TRUE state and bar color FALSE and TRUE State -->
<item name="colorAccent">#color/white</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/white</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/white</item>
</style>
Here is my experience with this similar issue & the required solution.
Requirement:
Need to create customize TextInputEditText (can say some should be transparent and some should be not but use custom colors for various events)
Problem faced:
android:textColorHint is not working as required.
Solutions tried, which failed:
Used android:textColorHint in style and applied to TextInputEditText. No results or difference.
Set android:textColorHint in application's theme applied. It do helped but it was now set for entire application. (Not up-to mark to requirement)
After a lot of RnD, the best SOLUTION found was in an article which described that we need to apply theme to TextInputLayout or to it's parent view rather then only applying style to TextInputEditText or to it's parent view.
Please check TextInputLayout proper Theming which told that how we are at wrong track.
I only wanted to change the label color when it is lifted to top. But setting textColorHint changes the color at every state. So, this worked for me:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
...
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorPrimary</item>
...
</style>
This will change the color when the input is focused.
Use TextInputLayout.setDefaultHintTextColor

Change Edit Text Underline Color to be the same when off focused & focused

My Edit Text underline seems to always be highlighted when focused, I've been trying to have all lines the same color as the first one in the picture, here is my XML code, would anyone know how to have all three lines highlighted (even when other edit text's are not focused)? Thanks in advance!!!
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_password_second"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:textColor="#color/edit_text_color"
android:backgroundTint="#color/edit_text_color"
You can try adding a theme
<style name="EditTextTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/primary</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/primary</item>
</style>
and set it on your EditText
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:theme="#style/EditTextTheme">
</EditText>
Go to styles.xml and change <item name="colorAccent">#YOUR_COLOR</item> to the same color as your EditText's backgroundTint

Android TextInputLayout color changes back to colorAccent

I tried to change TextInputLayout by setting custom style for its edittext as you see below:
layout:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
android:id="#+id/pass"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:textSize="15sp"
android:theme="#style/MyEditTextTheme" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
style.xml:
<style name="MyEditTextTheme">
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorPrimary</item>
</style>
I faced 2 problems:
1.It works fine with activities but in fragments it has no change and the colors are as colorAccent.
2.Even in activities, after setting .setErrorEnabled(false); the edittext bottom color changes to colorAccent.
What is wrong? Is it a bug in android?
