EditText default Theme not working with AppCompat

Question

My style.xml is

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/AppEditTextStyle</item>
</style>


<style name="AppEditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/shape_rectangle_grey_white_rounded</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_size_medium</item>
    <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
    <item name="android:ellipsize">end</item>
</style>

But below Lollipop Edit text style is not working.

Answer 1

Appcompat is using not using the android namespace so do:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
     <item name="editTextStyle">@style/AppEditTextStyle</item>
</style>

this should solve your issue

UPDATE

textViewStyle is not supported in Theme styling for AppCompat, maybe they will add this sometime but I am not sure
