How to set border color for EditText

Giri picture Giri · Jun 7, 2013 · Viewed 36.9k times · Source

I have used this.

<color name="edt_pressed">#99CBFF</color>
<color name="edt_focused">#CEF7F6</color>
<color name="edt_default">#000000</color>

gradient_edt_focused

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

edt_border.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > 
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@layout/gradient_edt_pressed"/>
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@layout/gradient_edt_focused"/>
<item android:drawable="@layout/gradient_edt_default"/>
</selector>

activity_main.xml

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/uname" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"                
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:background="@layout/textview_border"/>

Now the border is working fine but while typing text, that has the background color of black.

The issue is it is taking the color of the default item as background while onfocus as I did not gave any solid color for each. So now i added this in "gradient_edt_focused".

<solid android:color="#00000000" />

Now it is working.
