Set EditText cursor color

Setting the android:textCursorDrawable attribute to @null should result in the use of android:textColor as the cursor color.

Attribute "textCursorDrawable" is available in API level 12 and higher

In Layout

<EditText      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/color_cursor"    />

Then create drawalble xml: color_cursor

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >    <size android:width="3dp" />    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"  /></shape>

You have a white color cursor on EditText property.

It appears as if all the answers go around the bushes.

In your EditText, use the property:

android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/black_cursor"

and add the drawable black_cursor.xml to your resources, as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >    <size android:width="1dp" />    <solid android:color="#000000"/></shape>

This is also the way to create more diverse cursors, if you need.
