I want to change the underline color of a custom AutoCompleteTextView
, like the blue color under Phone Number below to other color, and remvoe about 2dp space above the underline (please note that vertial line one both ends).
I cannot find solution for the problem on the web.
Before I created the custom AutoCompleteTextView, I changed underline color for the built-in AutoCompleteTextView
via accent on colors.xml like below.
<resources> ... <color name="accent">#206DDA</color> ... </resources>
However, after a custom AutoCompleteTextView
is used in place of the built-in AutoCompleteTextView
, the underline color uses default color, like the image above.
I tried below but it does not work:
styles.xml below:
<style name="Autocomplete" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.AutoCompleteTextView"> <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/primary</item> </style>
activity.xml below:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <MyAutoCompleteTextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Phone number" android:completionThreshold="1" android:maxLines="1" android:inputType="text" android:imeOptions="actionNext" android:theme="@style/Autocomplete" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:layout_marginRight="5dp" /> </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Below is my AutoCompleteTextView:
public class MyAutoCompleteTextView: AutoCompleteTextView { public MyAutoCompleteTextView(Context context, IAttributeSet attrs) : base(context, attrs) { } public override bool EnoughToFilter() { return true; } }
