Android Question Android 4.4. not showing EditText?

[DAM]

Hello everyone!!
First of all, thank you in advance for your help... and excuse me if the question had been made in the forum, I didnt find it.
I am newbie in Basic4Android...
I am developing an app that has some edittext and some spinners as you can see in the picture. When I open it in Android 2.1, the "typical" edittext boxes and spinners appear. But... for Android 4.4., it is not possible to see the edittext and spinners are so so light! You can see that on the picture, when the edittext is selected, the blue line appears, but only in that case.
The views are situated on a panel with is inside a scrollview which is inside a panel of a viewpager.

Thanks a lot again,
best regards!

This is how these views look in Android 4+ (holo design).

If you want to use the old style then you can set targetSdkVersion attribute in the manifest editor to 4 instead of 14. I think that it is a mistake to use the old style.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer!
I agree with you about the beauty of new style against old one.
But for my example, the problem is that the edittext "box" is "invisible"... I changed the background color of the panel in which the views are placed. As you can see, the edittext line is there! It's like my panels are hiding edittexts lines...
I will try to use the advices you gave in this thread: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/custom-edittext-border-color.40242/
