how to change color of TextinputLayout's label and edittext underline android
I am using android design library's TextinputLayout
. But couldn't customize the hint color, label color and the underline color of EditText
inside TextinputLayout
. Please help.
Change bottom line color:
<item name="colorControlNormal">#c5c5c5</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/accent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/accent</item>
For more info check this thread.
Change hint color when it is floating
<style name="MyHintStyle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
<item name="android:textColor">@color/main_color</item>
</style>
and use it like this:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
...
app:hintTextAppearance="@style/MyHintStyle">
Change hint color when it is not a floating label:
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
...
app:hintTextAppearance="@style/MyHintStyle"
android:textColorHint="#c1c2c4">

With the Material Components Library you can use the com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
.
You can apply a custom style to change the colors.
To change the hint color you have to use these attributes:hintTextColor
and android:textColorHint
.
<style name="Custom_textinputlayout_filledbox" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox">
<!-- The color of the label when it is collapsed and the text field is active -->
<item name="hintTextColor">?attr/colorPrimary</item>
<!-- The color of the label in all other text field states (such as resting and disabled) -->
<item name="android:textColorHint">@color/selector_hint_text_color</item>
</style>
You should use a selector for the android:textColorHint
. Something like:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:alpha="0.38" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface" android:state_enabled="false"/>
<item android:alpha="0.6" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface"/>
</selector>
To change the bottom line color you have to use the attribute: boxStrokeColor
.
<style name="Custom_textinputlayout_filledbox" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox">
....
<item name="boxStrokeColor">@color/selector_stroke_color</item>
</style>
Also in this case you should use a selector. Something like:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="?attr/colorPrimary" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:alpha="0.87" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface" android:state_hovered="true"/>
<item android:alpha="0.12" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface" android:state_enabled="false"/>
<item android:alpha="0.38" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface"/>
</selector>
You can also apply these attributes in your layout:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox"
app:boxStrokeColor="@color/selector_stroke_color"
app:hintTextColor="?attr/colorPrimary"
android:textColorHint="@color/selector_hint_text_color"
...>
Based on Fedor Kazakov and others answers, I created a default config.
styles.xml
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
<style name="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout" parent="AppTheme">
<item name="hintTextAppearance">@style/AppTheme.TextFloatLabelAppearance</item>
<item name="errorTextAppearance">@style/AppTheme.TextErrorAppearance</item>
<item name="counterTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Design.Counter</item>
<item name="counterOverflowTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Design.Counter.Overflow</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.TextFloatLabelAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Hint">
<!-- Floating label appearance here -->
<item name="android:textColor">@color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
<style name="AppTheme.TextErrorAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Error">
<!-- Error message appearance here -->
<item name="android:textColor">#ff0000</item>
<item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
</style>
</resources>
activity_layout.xml

Add this attribute in Edittext tag and enjoy:

This Blog Post describes various styling aspects of EditText
and AutoCompleteTextView
wrapped by TextInputLayout
.
For EditText
and AppCompat lib 22.1.0+ you can set theme attribute with some theme related settings:
<style name="StyledTilEditTextTheme">
<item name="android:imeOptions">actionNext</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/greyLight</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/blue</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/blue</item>
<item name="android:textSize">@dimen/styledtil_edit_text_size</item>
</style>
<style name="StyledTilEditText">
<item name="android:theme">@style/StyledTilEditTextTheme</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">4dp</item>
</style>
and apply them on EditText
:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/etEditText"
style="@style/StyledTilEditText"
For AutoCompleteTextView
things are more complicated because wrapping it in TextInputLayout
and applying this theme breaks floating label behaviour.
You need to fix this in code:
private void setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(int color) {
Drawable wrappedDrawable = DrawableCompat.wrap(autoCompleteTextView.getBackground());
DrawableCompat.setTint(wrappedDrawable, color);
autoCompleteTextView.setBackgroundDrawable(wrappedDrawable);
}
and in Activity.onCreate
:
setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(getResources().getColor(R.color.greyLight));
autoCompleteTextView.setOnFocusChangeListener((v, hasFocus) -> {
if(hasFocus) {
setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue));
} else {
if(autoCompleteTextView.getText().length() == 0) {
setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(getResources().getColor(R.color.greyLight));
}
}
});
