On recent android versions, number pickers use a blue divider when drawn (cf. image below).
I would like to change this color. Is there a working solution? or perhaps a library that package an updated version of NumberPicker that allows customizing the divider color?
I have tried android-numberpicker but I get an error (see below) at runtime due to some code from the library that tries to access to a resource id that does not exist.
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0

Based on this (https://stackoverflow.com/a/20291416/2915480 although it's about DatePicker) there are several ways:
0dp
height or transparent color).OR remove if (mSelectionDivider != null)
branch from onDraw(Canvas) method in NumberPicker.java like here
Use reflection to access private final field mSelectionDivider
(details: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/java/android/widget/NumberPicker.java) - e.g. see modification here.
I used reflection but it's not the best solution.
Use theming to override the number picker's divider color in API 21+: ?attr/colorControlNormal
determines the color of the divider in material number picker, so changing this color in your widget's theme will do the trick, e.g. for DatePicker:
<style name="MyAppTheme.NumberPicker" parent=" MyAppTheme">
<item name="android:colorControlNormal"> ?colorAccent </item>
</style>
and in the widget:
<DatePicker
android:id="@+id/question_date"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:calendarViewShown="false"
android:datePickerMode="spinner"
android:gravity="center"
android:theme="@style/MyAppTheme.NumberPicker" />
