Android Question edittext border only when pressed?

[tsteward]

I have several edittexts on the screen. When i select one to make it active it gets a yellow border. but if I use MyEditText.RequestFocus, it does get focus but no border.

I have started using Voice Recognition to select which textedit has focus but its not obviously visible which one has focus.

On Android 4+ there is no border at all. The EditText line changes its color based on the focus.

You can add a panel behind the EditText and changes its border (or visibility) based on the focus.
