How to change EditText pointer color (not cursor)

I'm trying to make the pointer color of EditText to become blue.

Droplet looking thing is the pointer

I'm able to make the underline and the cursor to become blue, but the droplet looking pointer is still grey.

I google a bit, but all the links that appear only talk about how to change the cursor, not the pointer. So if anybody knows how to do this, I need your help.

I only need to support Android 5.0 and above. So if your solution only works on API > 21, that's totally fine.

Thanks!

Solution

  • in your styles.xml put like this:

    <item name="colorAccent">@color/blue</item>
