AutoCompleteTextView is getting highlighted

I have created a login activity with AutoCompleteTextView components for email and password. Once getting auto completed, these fields are getting highlighted. How do I disable this highlighting? Could not find any relevant property for this one.

Solution

  • Although it's been a while, I finally found the proper answer. This highlight is due to Android's Autofill Framework.

    To override the highlight setting -

    1. SDK min version must be > 26
    2. In app theme (style) add the the following item: android:autofilledHighlight and set the value to whatever color you want (to 'disable' this highlight just set it to transparent).
