I want to change the color of the seleção of the text in a EditText and also change the color of the bolinha (the name is pointer if I am not mistaken) by java.
It has to be equal to the image that follows only with another color.
I think this can not be changed, dynamically (after EditText was created), via java.
Via XML, create a style:
<style name="SelectionColor">
<item name="colorControlActivated">#00ff00</item>
<item name="android:textColorHighlight">#00ff00</item>
</style>
apply it to EditText using
android:theme="@style/SelectionColor"
Notes:
You can change these things in the values / colors.xml file
<resources>
<color name="primary">#3F51B5</color>
<color name="primary_dark">#303F9F</color>
<color name="primary_light">#C5CAE9</color>
<color name="accent">#00BCD4</color>
<color name="primary_text">#212121</color>
<color name="secondary_text">#727272</color>
<color name="icons">#FFFFFF</color>
<color name="divider">#B6B6B6</color>
</resources>
You can create style:
<style name="green">
<item name="main_background">@drawable/background_green</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="button_light">@color/button_light</item>
</style>
And set yourself in the code:
activity.setTheme(R.style.green);
