Question

I am working on dynamic theme apply on Android application concept. I am applying theme color programmatically for all UI. I want to change EditText selection background color programmatically.

Any help would be much appreciated. I want to change textselection highlight color.

Answer 1

To highlight the selection Use setHighlightColor feature in the code for the EditText. It is not background color. Its HighLightColor.

IN CODE

editTextName.setHighlightColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.highlight));
