Android Question Edit Text Cursor Color

[David Hawkins]

Is it possible to change the color of the cursor in an editbox

David .. Have a read Here ...

It is only possible if you define the EditText with XML and then load it with XmlLayoutBuilder library.

Note that if you use the DEFAULT color in the designer then the cursor color should match the selected theme.

How to change the DEFAULT color in the designer?

You cannot change the default color.

i´ve tried this library with my device, a S6 Edge, and it works for me.

 

[gareththomasnz]

Can you please explain what to put in the XML - say if I want a blue cursor for example

 

[JonPM]

Did you try the library? It works great

I am asking - do i need to change something in the xml to make the cursor the color i want?

 

[JonPM]

Sorry I was referring to this library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/change-edittext-cursor-color.58876/

My mistake I see above the picture now - it does not go in the XML

No xml editing needed...

Dim views As ViewSetting
views.setCursorDrawableColor(txtusername,Colors.Blue)
