Android Question EditText cursor color on Android 9+

1. Have you tried this: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...cursor-more-visible-solved.114148/post-712996 ?

2. How are you setting the EditText color? Maybe you are using the wrong theme.

Thanks Erel!

Before I start making elaborate changes as per #1 let me run by you my needs again to be sure that your earlier suggestion is the right way to go.

I have many arrays of EditText boxes that are dynamically created to input data and perform associated computations for each input. I have been using the following to maintain a visible black cursor in each EditText
This is a simple passive setting that works fine for formatting textboxes for a visible black cursor on all devices tested until Android 7. What I am looking for is an equivalent that would also work on more recent versions of Android. I am hesitant to undertake more elaborate changes for the sake of a black cursor on some devices.

My text boxes are white and the theme is Holo
If there is no easy alternative could someone please post sample code to implement the modifications suggested earlier. Thanks.

This is very bad. Why lock your app to such an old theme?

As far as I know the only way to change the cursor drawable is by loading it with XmlLayoutBuilder.
The real issue is the theme. Select the correct theme and everything will look fine.

A change to a light Theme improved the cursor visibility markedly, nicely serving my purpose.

Thanks Erel for the guidance!
