How to change line color in EditText
This is the best tool that you can use for all views and its FREE many thanks to @Jérôme Van Der Linden.
The Android Holo Colors Generator allows you to easily create Android components such as EditText
or spinner with your own colours for your Android application. It will generate all necessary nine patch assets plus associated XML drawable and styles which you can copy straight into your project.

UPDATE 1
This domain seems expired but the project is an open source you can find here
https://github.com/jeromevdl/android-holo-colors
try it
this image put in the background of EditText
android:background="@drawable/textfield_activated"
UPDATE 2
For API 21 or higher, you can use android:backgroundTint
<EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Underline color change" android:backgroundTint="@android:color/holo_red_light" />
Update 3Now We have with back support AppCompatEditText
Note: We need to use app:backgroundTint instead of android:backgroundTint
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Underline color change" app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_gray_light" />
Update 4AndroidX version
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_gray_light" />
I don't like previous answers. The best solution is to use:
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_gray_light" />
android:backgroundTint
for EditText
works only on API21+ . Because of it, we have to use the support library and AppCompatEditText
.
Note: we have to use app:backgroundTint
instead of android:backgroundTint
AndroidX version
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_gray_light" />
You can also quickly change the EditText's underline color by tinting the background of the EditText like so:
<EditText android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Something or Other" android:backgroundTint="@android:color/holo_green_light" />
