Question

How to change the color of this line below Edittext via xml?

Answer 1

Try doing it this way:

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="Something or Other"
    android:backgroundTint="@android:color/holo_green_light" />

Note, it will only work with API 21 or higher.

If you have a lower version, you can try this way:

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText app:backgroundTint="@color/blue_gray_light" />
