I think you are trying to implement material design in your app. First of all there should be only two values folder in your res folder. 1. values (For version < 21) 2. values-v21
styles.xml for version < 21
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
....
<item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/EditTextStyle</item>
</style>
<style name="EditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
<item name="colorControlNormal">@color/border_gray</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/border_gray</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/border_gray</item>
</style>
And for v21
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Material.Light">
.....
// Your style here
</style>

I am trying to change the bottom line colour of EditText but it is showing default blue line colour.I failed to understand where am I going wrong?
<EditText android:id="@+id/searchtext" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="15dp" android:textColor="#000000" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:maxLines="1" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/usericonlayout" android:padding="7dp" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:hint="Search for all GIFs" android:textColorHint="#A0A0A0" android:shadowColor="@color/border_gray" android:theme="@style/EditTextStyle"/>
styles.xml
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="android:Theme.Light"> <item name="colorAccent">@color/border_gray</item> <item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/EditTextStyle</item> </style> <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <item name="colorAccent">@color/border_gray</item> <item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/EditTextStyle</item> </style <style name="EditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText"> <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/border_gray</item> <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/border_gray</item> <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/border_gray</item> </style>
I also tried -
edittext.getBackground().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.border_gray), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
but didn't worked
